Day 17 Take Off
I love hearing from you, let me know how it’s going.
Pole sit Try this 3 times both sides (switching legs)
Basic pole climb Try this 3 times (switching arms and legs)
Beginner pole walk Try this 3 times both directions
Across pole turns Try this 3 times switching arms
Step around Try this 3 times switching directions
Extended leg spin Try this 3 times switching directions
SOS save our shoulders Practice your scapula movements
Pole shoulder press Don’t stress over the Pole Shoulder Press, just do what you can and write it down. Aim for one more rep next time. If you’re unable to do a full rep that’s ok too, write it down.
Forearm extensor stretch 2 sets holding for 30 seconds.
Here’s the link to the dance video mentioned above.
Finished day 17! I can already tell that I’m gaining strength – which is encouraging. A freestyle video was mentioned in the intro, but I didn’t see it listed. Appreciate the reminders throughout the lessons to breathe, and embrace our own pole journey rather than focusing solely on tricks. 🙂
That’s great, happy for you!! Oops! I forgot to add that video. Thank you for letting me know!
Should be there now ðŸ˜
Thank you! 😄
I’m so tired tonight not even one pole press 🙁 but it’s been a very busy week for me, I really enjoyed the extended leg spin though 🙂
💜💜💜
I loved today’s video, especially about movement not needing to look good to feel good. I’ve done this take off several times and always get discouraged around the pole sits but I’m trying to be kinder to myself this time, your reminders help a lot thanks!
Yes! Pole should be fun 🥰 Glad it was helpful.
for some reason I’m having the hardest time grasping this spin. so weird. frustrating. however I’ll revisit!
Oh, it’s not an easy spin, there’s a lot going on…but it is beginner friendly so that’s why it’s in this program. It’s not fundamental so if you never get it sorted out it’s not a big deal. It is fun once you get it tho!
WHOOP managed a pole climb or 3 actually. Finally bought liquid chalk, it helps a lot.
The spins are really difficult on my left ankle? Apparently it hasn’t yet regained its strength after breaking and healing. Are there specific exercises to get it back up to strength and get it more stable?
Yay! The spins are optional, so if they don’t work for you right now that’s ok. Instead ad the foot and ankle routine to your sessions! https://studioveena1.wpengine.com/lessons/view/5e8cf630-8828-44b3-8749-3f84ac110005 the first 2 weeks of the heels program is all about strengthening the feet too.
Ty!!
