No worries….no matter what shape, weight, male or female you can began pole dancing. Its a wonderful exercise and it can make you feel pretty darn sexy too https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif I always recommend that new polers start with some strength training. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif I have strength training as part of the online lessons. Its very important to have proper form and to build up your strength to prevent injury. Enjoy your body and enjoy your pole!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I really only free style but I have occasionally created a routine. I like to pick my song and then listen to it over and over through out the day or days. It has to be a song I really like or has some type of meaning to me….(a song might speak to me on Monday and I might hate the thing by Friday) LOL but anyway first pick a song you really love. Pick 2 or 3 favorite spins and depending on your level add 1 combo spin. Pick 3 inverts and 1 combo again depending on your level. Then add 2 transitions and a hold or two. Write it all down on some paper or your computer. Practice the moves you’ve chosen and then decide on the order you would like to do them in. My suggestion would be begin with the more difficult first and then end with somethin fancy too!! One more thing pick a short song. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Glitterrrrr * I say in a mom voice* You are not going to quit! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumbdown.gif While there is nothing wrong with taking a break, I don’t think you should quit…. I have seen your videos remember??? and there is nothing wrong with the way you dance or the speed of you progress!!! You need to STOP comparing yourself to everyone else. Yes some dancers seem to accelerate at lightning speed….but you have to think about WHY they have progressed so quickly. As you know pole takes tons of strength and that doesn’t happen over night! Some of us have been involved in other activities before we got into pole that had prepared our bodies for how physically demanding this is. You have come into pole dance as a blank slate. You have the added challenge of having to build your strength from the ground up. It takes some people 6 month to over a year to even have the strength to invert.
As far as Youtube goes… well….forget them all the important people *wink* are right here. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif Just post on here you know we love ya girlie. Trust me I get my fair share of people saying really hurtful things on my youtube vids. ranging from being a terrible mother, get breast, learn how to dance, you have no ass, OLIVE OIL (you know popeye’s lady) and many more. People are mean and unhappy.
I might add more later but a had to respond. Don’t make me come over there.. I know where you live…well almost….but I could find you!! and your pony too!!

I had just finished a great pole practice and read your question so I made this little vid for you. I’m all red in the face and winded so just ignore that. LOL….Ok so I realized after just reading your first post again that you probably weren’t trying to do this one handed…but I’ll post this anyway. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif
To strengthen grip and shoulders you can also do what I call POLE UPS haha. this will also help prepare you for climbing too. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I can do the forearm grip veeerrry comfortably but I still struggle with the elbow grip. I can do it close to the pole but only sometimes with my body away from the pole. So here’s my two sense….this is still on my "work on" list. Ok from what I can tell when I have tried this.. you need to have your elbow placed far enough up or you wont have the leverage you need. The main problem I always run into.. is I always keep my body to the side of the pole during an asha, straight edge and so on…but with the elbow grip you have to keep your body more towards the middle of the pole not off to one side. I don’t really know if that was helpful at all. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif I’ll practice it this week and I’ll keep you posted. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif

Here’s my 80s video challenge!!!

Did you guys try the shock method?? My poles have gotten stuck before and its worked every time. Just be sure to cover the pole and the release tool with a towel in case you slip with the hammer. Its basically a QUICK sharp tap.
Here’s what X pole suggest…. insert the rods and with one rod against the surface give the other rod sharp tap. It is not force that releases the tubes it is the shock. If the tube still will not release place something solid under the release rod so it is parallel to the surface the poles are on and try again. This so that the shock goes into the solid object and is not absorbed by the rod itself.
I used this a lot when showing our house that was for sale….I had to take it down every time we had a potential buyer or open house. My husband was already out in CA so it was just me and my boys. They would hold the one side down and I would "shock" the other end. It was pretty cute! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

I’m so excited for you!! I think it’s natural to feel a little freaked out when you take time to stop and think about it. Just don’t dwell on it because you could psyche yourself out. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Welcome!! It is absolutely normal to struggle like that at first. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif I like to recommended strength training to new polers who don’t have a really athletic background. A good place to start training??? Right here! There are strength training lessons that will strengthen all the major muscle groups and no special equipment required just you and your friend the pole. LOL We have our Friday chat today so feel free to pop in and say hey! We have fun giving each other support, advice and we get a bit silly too. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif

Welcome. Congratulations on you new baby!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Pole dance has gotten me back into shape insanely fast after having my 4th. Just be sure to take it slow at first, your abs, inner thighs and pelvic floor, will be weak and my understanding is you are kinda new to this form of exercise? So be sure to listen to your body. You are still dealing with hormonal changes, so please feel free to contact me with any questions. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

Can’t wait to see vids…I’ve been off my pole for almost two weeks, my back’s still giving me problems from falling off my pole awhile ago. Hopefully I’ll be all fixed soon and I’ll do a video! Anywho, know what I’d LOVE? If every one posted a link to their challenge in the forum! It’d make it so much easier than searching for it! (Plus I’m search-challenged, I never can seem to find what I’m looking for, lol). Anywho, just a thought!
Yes that’s a great idea Deirdre!! Hope your back is feeling better.
