Wow you're a trooper! Kickboxing. 🙂 Don't feel bad about a pole hold. I started…trying to do pole holds around march of last year. I just managed to be able to hold one for longer than a fraction of a second this month. I'm also overweight, so from the very beginning of learning to pole, it's been a struggle. And I don't come from a very active background. I was never atheletic, no real interest in dancing and EXTREMELY self conscious. You'll get it. 🙂

HOLY! I'd not only break my ankles, all bones in my legs would shatter completely. lol. and I thought my 6 inch mary janes were too much.

This helped out so much. I was about to post this same question. I woke up this morning with pain in my wrist. I've had this since January after a class and it hasn't quite gone away, just lessened.

Missed it last year. I think I can actually swing it this year 🙂

Graduate of the Los Angeles Film School in Hollywood. I'm a screenwriter. So I spend most of my time in front of a laptop typing away. Partly I was looking to get away from a screen when I started pole, the irony, I'm on this site quite a lot lol.

Iron with steam setting.

Before pole I pretty much never wore heels. The first heels I ever bought were the ones I wore to prom and within 10 minutes of being inside I whipped those puppies off lol. I can barely walk in heels to this day.
BUT, I've always had this fascination with high heels. I think a lot of girls do. They can't really explain it, but its there. I like the option of wearing them for pole. But by no means do I feel forced to wear them. I only practice in them once on my practice days because I get far more done without them on.
Oh, use to HATE clear heels, something about them just seemed…I don't know skanky? But then, I found tutorials to make clear heels all fancy. So my opinions changed 🙂

I guess it depends on what you're using exactly. The gloves worked terribly for me. And they ripped after the first time using them. I then started using Dry Hands for a while until I could strengthen my grip, then stopped using it for a while. I do recommend it if your grip strength is weak and you just need that extra oomph to your hands.

Basic Invert 🙁
Its sad! My legs do manage to get far enough into the air to touch the pole, but then I crash back down.

I used to, my 50mm was static only. My stage is both. But I stick to static setting. I've had the stage for at least 2 months and still haven't used spin mode yet.

The quick way is rubbing alcohol. But steam cleaning really gets all the gunk off and should be done at least once a week 🙂
If you don't have a steam cleaner, using an iron with a steam setting works just perfectly. That's what I do.

I know its generic club music, but I like it. Wish they listed what the songs were. Lol

Lol, I say that when working up the courage to do a variation of v carosuel called peter pan. "Happy Thoughts! I can fly I can fly I can flyyyyyyyyy! Weeeeeeeee!"

What part of your body is taking most the weight with the twisted ballerina? Based on the video I put up, and chemgoddess put up, I want to say the bent leg is…but I'm probably wrong.

I really love this girl. 🙂

Thank you!!

Just finished Day 19 🙂

A stage would work best if you don't want anything touching the ceiling. If its an apartment, standard ceiling heights for apartments are usually 8 feet. So, if you get an xpole stage you'll have to order an additional part, OR, you can cut the pole. I went with the additional part (in case I do move somewhere or outside where I can attached the piece to make the pole 10 feet)
I got a stage specifically because I damaged my ceiling with my sport pole, and was told not to put it back up. The stage works out nicely. 🙂 It does take some time and fearlessness to get used to a stage, simply because every freestanding pole has a little wobble to it.
Also, as far as diameter, its all about personal preference. I thought I preferred 50mm after taking classes at S Factor studio. All that have are 50mm poles. These are really good for leg holds. There is a benefit of making your arms real strong doing poles and climbing too. My stage pole is a 45mm. Tiny being jarring at first, but trust me, your body gets used to the change. Hope that helps you!

I know how you feel. I've been at this for about…. 10 months or so. I still can't do it. And its quite frustrating when you get SO close but still not quite there. And I practice on a stage that's solid metal, extremely scary and I've bruised my toes quite a few times.
