Awww don’t give up! It sounds like you just haven’t found the right gymnastics class. Starting with that kind of exercise is very scary for someone with no background in it…so don’t feel bad at all!!! Have you thought about working on some yoga, this can work well to get you in touch with your body and you can focus on balance too. Having good body awareness is key in learning new tricks, both on and off the pole, some have it naturally some have to learn. BUT YOU CAN LEARN. The mind body connection is so important. I would also say spending time working on elbow and handstands…first with the wall then moving on to the pole can be helpful, doing them often will help you become more accustomed to the inverted/upside down feeling. Our bodies are amazing and you have to learn to trust your bodies ability, once you do that the sky is the limit!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I don’t know a whole lot about the new PS poles….But as far as space for dancing….A good guideline is to, hold on to your pole, then extend both arms out to your sides (so your making a T) If you can walk around the pole with your arms out like that and not run into the wall or anything else you have a nice amount of space. If you want to use a smaller space, it can work, but you’ll want to avoid spins and stick with inverts and moves that keep you close to your pole. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Good point amyxshi, here are some basic body types
Endomorph
* Soft Body
* Underdeveloped Muscles
* Round Physique
* Weight Loss is Difficult
* Gains Muscle Easily Like the Mesomorph.Ectomorph this is ME…..somewhat…I gain muscle pretty fast.
* Delicate Built Body
* Flat Chest
* Fragile
* Lean
* Lightly Muscled
* Small Shouldered
* Takes Longer to Gain Muscle
* ThinMesomorph
* Hard Body
* Hourglass Shaped (Female)
* Mature Muscle Mass
* Muscular Body
* Excellent Posture
* Gains Muscle Easily
* Gains Fat More Easily Than Ectomorphs
* Thick Skin
Most people are a mix of these…everyone is different.. I love Pantera’s strong body type, but I know I will never have her shape. -
Well, It is true that if you have existing fat you wont see really defined muscle (you wont look cut..as they say). This is why some very thin people will look all muscly, but they don’t have a ton of strength, they just have low body fat. I would love to have more fat on my body, its not comfortable being bony, (I know most people don’t believe me) I liked my post baby body better than at the moment…after I loose all the baby fat. I say celebrate your FIT and SEXY self!! You can totally tell when someone has muscle as opposed to only fat and a strong woman is a sexy one. Now flex for us babe! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif
If you do want to loose body fat, (you sound perfectly sexy to me) try adding some more cardio in addition to your poling. A well rounded healthy diet is key too. Non of those fad diets, just a balanced one, and cardio, cardio, cardio.

lol I like that book too!! So yes, your gripping in between the knees and back of calf and heel, engaging your hamstring, AS your pressing away and up.
To move up…Try to get yourself into a ball at the top of the move, so press allllll the way up (get squishy)
Then switch your grip to a elbow or forearm using the hand that was at belly or hip height (not the lower hand) lower hand stays. Keep your legs engaged and working while you make the quick switch with your arms!
Then you can get your balance and slide the legs up the pole. Slide them up don’t just take them off the pole!!!! Maintain contact with the pole as they slide or you might fall on to your back (I HAVE DONE THIS) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif Repeat the process. The only time I have ever taken a fall off my pole was doing a caterpillar up be careful and use some cushions below. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

These are not stupid questions…..I just did a lesson for each of your problems https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumright.gif They will be up soon. I even have an exercise that will help you work on your inverted crucifix position without having to invert. Charley has excellent advice https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

Welcome. I have always been a bit of a tom boy myself! Pole has defiantly brought out my sexy side. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

I love the X pole customer service, they have always taken good care of our members, that’s why we sell them. I have dealt with PS and was not happy, the pole was fine but good luck if you need something from them. Also, because I tend to move my poles from room to room, and house to house, I like having an option of changing the height of the pole. Brass would be fun but having to install one and paying for the shipping of a 12ft pole is too costly. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif I love the Chrome finish the most, not too grippy, not to slippy. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Yep you will need an extension….I believe they ask you to call in any extension orders, we don’t have them, but we still have a great deal on the pole https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumright.gif

I have tried all of these things in the article, and never felt any better. lol The only thing that has ever worked for me was taking it slow and sticking with upright tricks for the first few sessions then, slooooowly working on inverting while on spin. Seems to be a good way to give your body time to adjust. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_r.gif

If you wanna go bare foot you’ll just have to wait until your body gets use to the new pressures put on it. As you progress and become comfortable with moves you wont have the bruising anymore. If you want to try a sock you could but then you wont have the ability to grip. If you do wanna give your feet a break try buying some sexy heels that have the plastic, shiny, appearance or boots. These will cut down on bruising and help you stick too, just be sure they’re made out of that shiny plastic like stuff (I forget the name) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gifand not matt leather, leather wont stick to the pole as well. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Welcome! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I have some great new lessons I’m adding and they include strength work you can do with your pole! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Classes are always a good thing to look into, check around and see if there is a reputable studio near you, be sure they focus on proper form and safety. Using the online lessons for a refresher in between classes is a great way to progress. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

Cool I have never seen that before! If you look close you’ll see she is using the Twisted grip to move into the aysha…so you will need to have the flexibility in your body to twist into the TG position from the CAR/ fallen angle and you will need to be comfortable with your twisted grip. Be careful with its move, if your wrist, elbow, or shoulder have discomfort don’t do it.
