This might sound weird but try dancing and doing floor work first without the pole or taping it…just dance to dance…then add in the pole…and no video…then add in the video.
Works for me…well not the video part LOL as I am terrified of video – but the dance part https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

using foam rolls are great for your muscles here is a link that shows some other areas to target…I use one after each session with my trainer and while it hurts at the time…I think my muscles actually recoup faster because of it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

If the way you pick up items you have dropped on the floor at work becomes "conversation" for the water cooler.
If you are seriously considering going into debt to get a little cabin somewhere…for your pole.
Or you scan Craig’s List for a room you could rent somewhere…for your pole.
Or you buy your husband a laptop computer so you can slowly without his knowledge attempt to remove all items from the second bedroom/office…for your pole.
Or you open up a web store for lingerie & shoes, get incorporated and all…so you can buy as many Pleasers as you want – wholesale https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

That is a nice looking war wound you have there https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif I have hooped for a bit – I am still not very good and it and I used to get some crazy bruises on both hips – I still get them from time to time but it is not as bad as before – so I’m guessing its kinda normal.
Charley I have the same issue with space for the hoop in my house…there is just not enough room. I though I had enough space until I was working on some arm stuff and took out a photo on the wall and clocked the doggy on the floor at the same time LOL…maybe I should just work on hips/stomach stuff…

I love silks – so pretty – I have been taking tissu lessons here and there but it is sooooooooo hard https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif I have also been taking aerial yoga – which is much easier but really great for getting good stretches in. There are lots of home aerial yoga units that you could look into online to maybe use as a starting point.
Also there are a bunch of aerial groups or circus groups on Facebook you could join for info.
plus here are a few links:

Oh Sissy – please be careful and feel better – go easy while you are healing.

MemberOctober 12, 2009 at 6:00 pm in reply to: Just curious, how many ladies here are in thier 50’s?Hello…not 50 yet…but working on it – I am 41. One of my pole teachers just turned 50 recently and she rocks!
My thoughts are if you feel old – then you act old and don’t do all of the fun things that keep your body and mind young.
Besides while maybe 50 seemed *old* when I was 15 – it’s sure doesn’t fit into my vocab as *old* now…talk to me at 75 https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Actually Pleaser has a bunch of lace up versions that have the flat eyelet/holes for the laces and they don’t scratch up the pole or hurt your legs…I have 12 pairs of them I should know lol. Also the nice thing about the lace up boots is they have the zippers as well so you don’t continually have to lace them up…just tighten them every once in a while.

So funny that you posted this because I read it RIGHT after working on my back bends. It’s so annoying…all this stuff I could do in my sleep in High School and is now so damned hard LOL.
First I practice my bridges on the floor. Then I stand about 2 feet away from the wall with my back to the wall and walk my hands down as far as I can go into a back bend. I also use a Pilates Step Barrel as well as an Pilates Arc. The Cobra pose is great as well to work stretching your arch. Also make sure when working on your back bends that you have properly warmed up your wrists – rotate them and and make sure they are lubed up.

Hello…I’m in Encino!

I had an abdominal hysterectomy, tummy tuck and lipo all at the same time. The cut was a bikini cut and I probably had a longer healing time because of the other work I had done as well but I waited around 6 months to go back to any serious pole (ie inverting or anything more than a spin). I went back to light – very light lol aerobic activity (treadmill) after 3 months – I probably could have gone back a little sooner but I really wanted to be safe https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

I just called about 15-20 minutes ago…but honestly…the woman I talked to was super busy/ditzy she could be wrong LOL
Last night I did a flight night at 10pm and I actually bought a pair of the new ones in LG in Black…the newer ones fit me better – they seem to have a little more lycra in them and aren’t as thin (I know a LOT of people who like the old better https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif ) but for 2.99 I would by all of the old ones in my size https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
If you are going over there let me know if they actually have any of the LG’s left – I know they don’t have any in Blackm, only XL cause I checked last night for me.
Also If you want me to – the studio is literally 5 minutes from my house and I can check after work…let me know.

I’m near the encino location, not sure which one verucablue is near. I’ll check it out today Roxy-Pink and get back to ya. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
That’s my location…I live in Encino…see my earlier post – they actually only have the old version in XL right now BUT they are only 2.99!
At least that’s what they said when I just called…who knows maybe you swooped in and bought up all the larges LOL
