Armonia, if you like just use the contact link and explain that you want to switch plans. Webmaster will take care of it.

You have to put most of your weight on the hands, so you need good balance. It helps too if you have very flexible hamstrings, this will help you keep the weight off the pole more and onto the hands. You can't rely on using the pole much as you slide down.

You can do it on spinny. 🙂

I agree, I would get a pole that has both.

I think about 80 for the mount, I'd have to look it up. The extreme is the spinning pole, the sport does not have spin mode. Send us an email using the contact link and we can help you out! 🙂

Yes, Katastrophe everything is the same, just the top is screwed in. Yes you need to find the beam and drill into that. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I have to watch my weight too. When I don't exercise I tend to loose weight because I don't eat as much as when I do work out.https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif Here is what helped me gain.
I use to graze and eat little bits all day, that didn't work. I was always hungry and skinny! I started eating 3 main meals breakfast, lunch, dinner and I will have a snack in between each meal and one before bed. Going too long without eating makes me shaky, tired and crabby!
I force myself to finish my plate, I use to leave a lot behind, but now I do my best to make myself finish what I take. I know I'm weird, but I have a hard time overeating!!
I ALWAYS have a high calorie high protein shake after my workouts. About 500 calories give or take.
I stopped eating so many carbs. This was all I ate as a kid and young adult. I'm so much healthier now that I have a more balanced diet. I still LOVE my carbs but I make sure to pair them with protein or veggies too. Really I pretty much lived off of cake and bread as a kid!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif lol

Welcome to the site Chevelle90! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
The list of suggestions posted above has some good info for the most part. However, I would like to add that stretching BEFORE working out has been shown to not improve performance or decrease injury at all. So you would be better off spending your time warming up with some cardio instead of static stretches. Also there are some people who need to have lotion or they will not be able to grip because their skin is too dry. So there are a few exceptions. Just do not apply the lotion right before poling, a few hours before is best.

Working on inverting from up on the ball of the foot will help you with your heeled inverts. Remember in heels you can’t spring or bounce off the foot so don’t be tempeted to let the heel drop down as you lift into the inverts barefoot 🙂

Saphyre is right, a lot of the pole tricks could put your rotator cuff at risk, if your body isn't ready, or if you work out side of your ROM. Conditioning and strengthen for the shoulders is pretty much a must for pole dancers.
Most rotator cuff injuries happen when doing overhead motions with the arm. Overuse and repetitive overhead motions cause the most trouble….so don't over do the moves listed below.
Spins, reverse grab is a common one people rush into learning.
Inverted split grips,
Split grips,
Twisted grip from standing! This is a super, duper, common injury…..https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

Yes, start at the beginning. Watch all of the "getting started" lessons then go from there. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
