Thats great your working out in addition to pole it will help a lot!! It sound like your body is telling you to slow down and give it a rest for a bit though. When you start a new form of exercise having to deal with sore muscles WILL happen. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif You need to be sure your giving your body adequate rest in between the workouts, pole included. So you may need to adjust your schedule a bit to be sure you have enough time off. When you execise you want a day of rest for your body to recover in between your work outs. Exercise breaks the muscle tissue down, its the rest and heathy diet builds them back up so they can grow. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif Here are some tips.
If your sore from working out…..
Be sure your stretching AFTER, not before, during is ok too, but after is best.Never stretch a cold muscle, this is counter productive and can cause more soreness.
Try a hot bath with Epsom salts
MOVE….by that I don’t mean more hard exercise, but sitting for long periods will leave your sore muscles feeling REALLY sore and stiff. So go for a walk, move, but do it gently, you will feel better.
So some LIGHT stretching but ONLY after your body is warm, like after a walk or bath.
Massage is great for sore muscles
Drink lots of water.
It is ok to do a workout if you are still sore, but if the stiffness/soreness doesn’t get better after you have warmed up then you so take a break to prevent injury https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Oh, I missed this thread!! I totally agree that the media is MESSED UP when it comes to our bodies! I always have, and always will, believe that we are not all meant to be skinny. HEATHY is the most important thing, you do not have to be a stick to be healthy or beautiful! When I am working with a client that is the hardest thing… to try and convince people (women mostly) that, YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A STICK. My biggest challenge is always convincing them that the scales are not the way to judge your progress, (body weight can fluctuate by as much as 5 pounds!) and your energy level is one of the best ways to know if you are fit and healthy. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

Sounds like your not starting far enough away from the pole, and your hands might be too high up. You want a hips width distance between you and the pole, arms just a tiny bit above head hight….not wayyyy up high, then you are to close to the pole. Do you have a vid? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Has anyone done the June Challenge yet? I had planned on having mine done before the 16th but it doesn’t’ look like that will happen, due to my arm https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif

Oh one more thing, the disadvantage well….the stage, I love to do floorwork and its hindered a bit, but I have also use a Platinum stages, stage pole and really, really prefer the X stage. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I have used the X stage. I’m thinking about getting one too. I really liked it! Its sturdy and still has the spin option too, the base is large enough that you don’t feel like you’ll fall off and there are know sharp edges. The pole is nice and tall too, so just be sure you have enough hight for it. Its 10ft all together. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif Here is a fellow member Kittyclimber using her X pole. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cat.gif
