VEENA off topic…
I am also a mommy of four. 3 boys 1 girl. I laughed watching your boys work on the spins! My 15month old was outside with me and went up to a pole and lifted his leg up and then squated down!! It was so funny cause everytime I work out he is in the basement with me. I guess all along he was picking up tips. Now when I work out he goes over to the support pole in the basement and copies me LOL!!! I have to take a vid.Haha great story!!
As for leg strength…it will come…, squats, pole sits, leg raises to name a few can all help. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Trust me its Bull ***** you can’t promise some will be able to do the splits in 3 weeks https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif Every body is unique and a lot of things factor into flexibility. Genetics, tendons, age, if your active or sedentary…..an so on. Stretching daily is a good thing and if you do it AFTER your exercise you’ll get a deeper and safer stretch than if you try to stretch a cold muscle. I have been naturally pretty flexible all my life…so for me when I loose my flexibility I can get it back with in a week or two of good 15 to 30 min stretching sessions. BUT that is only me….its not average!! For others it could take months or years to be able to do the splits. Don’t be discouraged……The good news is…EVERYONE can become more flexible https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif …….with TIME… not overnight. Here is a vid I made a while back with a few stretches for the splits and some tips too. There are others you can do these are a few of my favs. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif

edit….I do want to say that what the person says about focus is really important when doing anything body related…being in tune with your body is soooooo important and it WILL help a ton. I visualize pole moves all the time before I even do them, it works.

IF your hooking the leg that is on the pole behind your heel….you can pull yourself into the pole and grab the pole with both legs and go into a crucifix, this would be a bit more basic than going into the flatline scorpio https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Don’t be discouraged!! If your looking to do some strength training with your pole, then you might wanna check out my online lessons here. I have a full body work out using your pole to prepare your body for the demands https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif You’ll get there https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

You can try going to a sign company and most will make a small piece like a pole dancers for pretty inexpensive. You can create your own or if you pay them they create it for you. We have done this in the past for other business’s we have had. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

If its only your grip and you have the position…. then try dampening the towel you use to wipe you pole with, using a bit of alcohol or what ever you clean your pole with. Rub it on your hands and the pole and as soon as its dry….don’t try it with wet hands!!!!! as soon as its dries, try the move. You’ll get better grip but only temporarily. Or try my silly dish washing rubber glove trick….they do stick really well https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

I know hes fixing it now

I’m thinking a ballgown LOL just kidding. This is a good question, I would have know idea what to wear either! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif We should all start the trend of wearing sequins and rhinestones cuz I wanna be fancy! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_queen.gif

Welcome!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif We have friday chat tomorrow all day, so feel free to pop in.

Thanks for the suggestion https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif the pressure of the pole wouldn’t work with that kind of flooring….I already tried to convince the husband of that kind of flooring when we first moved in LOL He said nope, the carpet is just to thick, so its not stable enough to put flooring over. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif I have looked a many places and this house soooo close to perfect, just that damn carpet and boring location. I have danced on carpet since I started so I guess why stop now. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif
-
why can’t you rip up the carpet??
Its not my house! LOL We rent. -
I would try the boots…I thought I had strong hamstrings too, until I started doing the star, and knee holds. That position is really unnatural, you’ll get it! Boots I say! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif
-
I’m telling ya its all about the hamstrings (the back of the thigh) muscle. It contracts in the same basic manner as your arms bicep muscle….it can pull. On the pole work might include side climbs, the star (this one is great for preparing you for the knee hold) to name a few. For exercises off the pole….squats, walking lunges…if you focus on pressing off with your HEEL you will focus more on the glute/butt and hamstring area. Bridges are great too. I would also try a pair of high sticky boot, this can help you work on your strength without the PAIN https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_pale.gif on your skin, you can then focus on holding the move and not the pain.

I’ve been watching your lessons and I walk into it the way you show it. I have yet to try anything on static other than climbing. I really should. I just don’t see how you can do a full circle lol. I would think my skin would stick to the pole.Ohhh ok, the method in my lessons are only to be done on static…as I said before, the technique is different on spin. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif IF your walking into the moves and using the momentum of your legs, like I show you, you’ll be going way to fast on spin https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif that is why your having a hard time holding on and keeping position https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif .
-
Yes I second that…use the wall and keep the pressure off your head….engage your shoulders, so your not slumping down into them, so if your ears are to your shoulders that not what you want. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif Use the wall its soooo much easier than the pole at first.
-
I really think learning spins on static mode is best first. Is the teacher or person you watching video of or taking lessons from, using a static pole or spin?? If its static you’ll have to change the way your entering and exiting your spins. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Welcome…the girls here are great!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I almost always wear my pole shorts really low cut…keeps the muffin top away and helps keep the extra skin from flopping over! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif I want full coverage over the lady business!!! I don’t want to flash anyone https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif If the crotch area is too tiny I find I avoid some movements that might expose myself. hehe. I don’t wanna have to get a wax job just to pole on a daily basis…..so more crotch please…um coverage that is. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif I really don’t care if my butt shows or not… it seem like to get good crotch coverage you need a good amount of butt coverage too. I love the cut of the Hanes boy cut underwear for women…if someone could make a pole short like that I would love it! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I actually cut apart an old pair of mine when I first started poling to make a pattern. I only had some terrible material to use and it worked, but they had no give to them because of the material, and I seemed to have lost the pattern when we moved out here to CA. Ok enough rambling, two things I look for…
1 crotch coverage
2 low cut/sits on hips…. or can I roll it down and make it low cut. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif -
You should always try every move on BOTH sides…this is no right or wrong side, its a matter of preference…but if pole is your only form of strength work, you should be try to learn on both sides. Your teacher might not be able to teach the other direction and so she didn’t want to get confused. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif
