Increasing your flexibility can take time. There are a few things that affect flexibility, genetics, (structure of the joint) connective tissue elasticity within muscles, tendons or skin surrounding a joint, also strength of the opposing muscle groups. Here are some quick tips for stretching:
static stretching is safest and most effective. That means no bouncing, https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif Breath, your body needs oxygen, long slow breaths into the stretch. Never stretch a cold muscle, you put yourself at risk for injury and you wont get a good deep stretch that will cause noticeable change. I stretch every day BUT I do my longest most intense, lower body stretching on the days I train legs, so I"m really warm. One more thing be sure to take your time to hold the stretch, a few seconds, will not be enough to cause noticeable change. Give yourself time. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Sometimes the little buggers get stuck, its nothing to worry about, you can still put your pole up. You don’t HAVE to put the cover on, its just cosmetic. I have had this happen with mine before, sometimes it will pop back out if you give it a sharp tap with something. If you really want a new one you can call X pole and they will send you one. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif I got my pole from my sister’s house today and brought it home. But there’s a problem. One of the two little sprung pins on the cover flange is stuck inside the cover flange. Does anyone know a way to get the little pin to come out? I can’t fully put my xpole together without getting it to come out. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

I’m technologically challenged so…. how do I do this link???
Cut and paste is what I think its called? Go to your video do a control C to "copy" on the browser thinging, the long bar where you type in an address, then come back here and hit control V. It should appear. I hope https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif -

Oh don’t worry, we all feel clumsy and hopeless when starting out. I use to look at videos and think "how in the world do they do that!" https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif It gets better!

I like alcohol or windex (if your not allergic). You only need to clean it with soap and water on occasion if you start to notice build up. I like to rotate my cleaning, I use windex the most, but if I start to notice build up, or I’m just not sticking, then I switch to alcohol or vodka for a few days then go back to windex.

Oh, I would sure love for this pole to be as good as it sounds!! Can’t wait to hear from some testers. Has anyone heard how tall the pole is, I didn’t see anything about hight, but I might have missed it. I know the testers they have on videos using the pole are pretty little. It would be so fun to have a pole I could take with me anywhere. I really hope it will live up to all it claims!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

That is WONDERFUL news!!! I can totally understand way you would feel self conscious, but I don’t think it will even be an issue. I have never had the opportunity to meet you in person, but from what I do know of you, I can tell your a beautiful, wonderful, and amazing person!!! That in its self, will show more than your scars ever will. I know you will be a true inspiration to many women, pole DOES make you feel beautiful, and I’m so happy that you will have a chance to share this with others. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

My sweats didn’t really shrink too much, just a little I noticed length wise. I meant to keep them out of the dryer but….The sweats are gonna be loose, its the way they are cut, I like them because I prefer to wear my pants around my hips, not my waist. I don’t think these sweats are meant to be worn at the waist, The size of the waist doesn’t appear to change too much, from size to size, just the length. As for the booty short, I have a small and wish I would have gone with medium. I really like the tank top, because they are long. The booty shorts are ok.

Oh, nice looking mats Alena! Looks like they would be easy to keep clean, looks like you could just wipe them off. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

hi gals,
I’m in a similar situation! At the studio I go to they have both sizes of poles. I was using the 45 and only a few times used the 50 but liked the 45 more. I haven’t danced a lot so I think that I could totally get used to 50 early on.what do you think? I’m going to buy my pole this week, most likely.
The size you choose depends on what you want to do with your pole dance. If you just want to pole for fun and fitness, then stick with the 45 if you like it. If you think you might want to dance outside your studio or home, as in, compete or dance in a club, then go with the standard 50. Its much easy to switch from large to small, going from small to lager can be frustrating. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gifAnd Neke I hope you find a great space for your X when you get it….you’ll love it!!

hahahaha I read it so fast I thought it said broke….I thought it seemed strange that by leaving a fed ex tag you would know he was breaking up with you!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif You didn’t seem to upset about it either. My bad https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif

So, I finally got my X-pole in and we tried to put it up tonight. We have 9-foot ceilings, which according to the instructions it can accommodate, yet with the 2 extensions that it comes with we are still coming up short. Any ideas of what we are doing wrong, or are we missing a piece? We can’t figure it out – any assistance would be appreciated!
Yes it should accommodate a 9ft ceiling, that is what I have.
did you measure right?
have you turned the big screw at the top where the dome sits, so it extends?
how far from the ceiling is it? -

I love the way spinny looks, BUT I get sick https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_l.gif so I don’t do it often. I’m working on it though….both spinning and static require a different technique. If you treat your spinning pole like a static and throw your body weight into it you’ll fling yourself right out the window!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif Trust me https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif One is not better than the other. I love the challenge of controlling your static spin, learning how to make them super fast!! I plan on doing more work in spin mode, but I’m in no rush. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
