    You can work on the invert program. This doesn’t mean you will achieve an invert right away but it’s a great technique and strength builder over all.

    January 6, 2018 at 1:01 am in reply to: Poling over 40?

    Hi and welcome! There are TONS of polers over 40! I didn’t start pole dancing until a month before I turned 30, I’m now 40 and it’s still the best exercise I know of. I have never been a dancer or gymnast. My background is in personal training, which is why I’m focused on strength building first and technique to prevent injuy.

    If you start with a good foundation (like the method I developed) you can start learning pole dance anytime, it doesn’t matter what your age or fitness background is. Keep in mind that all lessons are place in order so no matter what category you look at always watch the first lesson and it will answer many common questions and get you started off right.

    As mentioned, the 30 day take off was created for those with no background in fitness or dance so starting there is a great option.

    To see progress? 3 to 4 times a week. If you’re new to exercise having rest days is very important and poling daily can lead to overuse injury, like tendonitis and shoulder issues. It’s important to develope strength needed in shoulders and other areas so you can progress safely, but using the same muscles over and over without rest won’t help.

    If you follow ANY of my 30 day programs you’ll find a balanced layout that allows for progression and adequate rest.

    Also if you just like to pole for fun, there’s nothing wrong with once a week or less, just don’t expect heaps of improvement. You can still have fun and benifit from pole even if you stay at beginner level. 💜

    For both the biggest thing is practice!!! For the leg waves make sure the motion isn’t ONLY coming from the knees. There’s motion from the hip as well creating an up and down motion as you bend and straighten the knee. For the inverted floor split…start with a tuck then start to extend from there.

    It’s totally common for you to struggle with static if you start on spin and vise versa!

    Yes people have set up a pole in a mobile home. You need to find out where the joists are just as you would in any venue.

    This combo will help you strength for a spinning climb https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/5491b996-3b0c-48a7-a81f-76eb0a9aa0eb …also, if you haven’t already worked on the Spinning pole forward invert prep I suggest that to help build strength. It’s the first spinning pole lesson in the bonus lessons. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/548f097e-4ddc-4544-a00f-68600a9aa0eb

    I’m old so I don’t know what people are calling moves these days lol. However, in my world its a variation of the Aerial pole split https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4cd406bc-c6c4-42e6-a13d-1d370ac37250….just bend the bottom leg 🙂

    As long as you follow the rest days for both it would be fine. The flexy program isn’t just about stretching it includes strength work as well so make sure you have enough rest days. Since this isn’t your first time around just listen to your body and you should be fine!

    That new white mount looks great!

    I really suggest buying a mount Strangefox…..I LOVE mine (I’ve got 3 at home and have bought them for places I like to dance at too) lol I use them all the time even though we rent our homes. It’s really not a big deal to fill the holes when you leave and it makes taking down and setting up so fast!

    I never got calluses with my SV powder coated pole and yet my grip was great, it was like magic some how! I get really bad ones using my grippy brass and very light ones using chrome or TG. I try and keep lotion on my hands as much as possible after poling of course.
