When you purchase the lessons you will immediately have access to all of the lessons including The 30 day take off program. The 30 day take off, is a guide (a grouping of lessons) that you use on your own time to help you progress. It's meant to be used as a guide for 30 days, but if you happen to skip a day it's totally fine. You can click on the "lessons" button and see we have several sections/grouping of lessons and the 30 days has it's own section. We also have Conditioning, Stretching and stretching routines, Foam roller, Pole Routines and Hula hooping lessons.
Here is a video that might answer some questions you may have. This is the first video lesson in the 30 day take off. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

​The 30 days will also take you through conditioning exercises and stretches to help prevent injury and should help you with your wrist issues.

Hi and welcome Hayley! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif If you have any questions feel free to ask us!

Hi babysham! Even if you've taking classes before I would suggest starting with the first lesson the "getting started" lesson, and moving on from there. Each section has a "getting started" section and these have important information in them about how to use the lessons and how to structure your pole workouts. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gifAlso all lessons are placed in a progressive order, so you don't have to guess what move should come next, they all build on each other.
Here is the first "getting started" lesson https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4dd006a7-c45c-4c1e-b6b6-4a870ac37250

We have lots of lesson for flexibility here. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif Anyone can improve their flexibility, to what degree will depend on the individual, method used, and time spent. You do NOT need to train for flexibility everyday, that's too much for most people.
Here's a video that has tips for stretching and will give you an idea of what to expect in the lessons. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1ZZE2GTBiQ

I have a brass pole and Cramers didn't work well with it at all!! I would try some of the other products mentioned previously. Cramers works great on my Chrome though.

Phillypolegirl. I have many exercises included in the lessons to help strengthen and stretch the forearms and hands.
I would start with the Hand strength exercise it's the first in the series of lessons for forearms. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/b9b362ac-b880-11df-856f-001b214581be

Yanille, I replied to your question you left on the lesson for ya. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I'm glad your ok now. The 30 day take off is a guide for people, it's not something you should feel you have to do. If you feel weak I would say doing the 30 days would be a good thing.
If you've been poling for years and are advanced then you'll probably be able to do inverts and such right away. But if you are still beg/inter and dance only occasionally then start with strength and stay with beginner pole work for the first 1-2 pole sessions. By the end of the week give inverting a try if you feel strong enough. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I forgot to answer the rest time question….again very it! Sometimes resting for only a breath other times waiting 30-60 seconds.
-
I personally think its good to very your hold time and the type of stretches you do. Doing 60 seconds for one week, then changing it up to 30 seconds reaching deeper into the stretch with each exhale, for a set of 3 to 10 the next week. There are tons of possibilities!
I usually have one day were I hold stretches for a long time more than 60 and then the rest of the week it will just be light stretching with 30 second holds. You can stretch too much and too often and this could cause tightness!
Oh that reminds me, here's a great blog to read! https://www.studioveena.com/blogs/view/51a0ee3e-b57c-4267-b9f7-5bfd0ac37250

I think the tote bag is a great idea, you could buy a water bottle, towel, a cute little note book and pen, a tennis ball (for strengthening hands and massage) mints. You might want to offer to help her shop for pole wear so you don't buy something too small, if she is sensitive to that.
-
My whole body is more sensitive when it's close to my period. You'll find that pole sits might hurt more too during "that" time. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif

It's really common but everyone's definition of pain is different. If you feel muscular soreness, weakness that's fine, but if you feel sharp pain, lots of aching, numbness, burning, twinges of pain things like that are signs of overuse or improper hand placement. So if it's just soreness that's normal but be sure you're taking care of your forearms to prevent problems.
Things you can do:
Always, always, stretch the forearms after you do split grip work
Limit your split grip work to no more than once or twice a week (when your new to it)
Work on the conditioning lessons for forearms one to 3 times a week to prepare for split grip work
Massage or foam roll the forearms after
Don't over do it, Limit your attempts using split grips to no more than 10 times per session.https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
