Day 2 done! The pole stregth routine was challenging in the loveliest way 🙂
Day 2 done! The stretches felt so good, but noticed I’ve lost some shoulder flexibility, I used to be able to touch fingertips in the over/under stretch…something to keep an eye on for improvement. See ya tomorrow!
Day 2 done. My toes are cramping is that normal?
Toes? I wonder if you’re crunching them when doing certain moves? Be aware next time and see. Try this stretch to relieve the toes https://studioveena1.wpengine.com/lessons/view/4de6aa4a-0590-411e-b482-1d4b0ac37250
Love, love, love the strength routine! Still cant do everything in it yet but I am having so much fun trying everyday!
day 2 ✅
Loved the strength routine. Special the leg hook crunch 💜
Great lesson, Veena! I LOVE getting my hands back on the pole again!!! Feels so good!

Just finished the Level 1 pole strengthening routine. I wasn’t sure if it would be challenging enough for me as I’ve been pole dancing for a while and boy was it difficult! Definitely a good fit for me. I think I’m going to finally progress the way I would like to on the pole.
Day 2 complete!
Hey, Veena! On the external hip rotation, when I get to the 90 degree part, my hips “popsâ€. It’s not painful but I can feel it. Is that normal?
It is. Try adjusting your pelvis position. Either tuck under a bit or arch. Let me know if that helps
Hi there. I’m by no means at intermediate level yet as i can only hold myself on pole for a few seconds. However, I don’t think this was changeling enough. Should I do the strength routine several times or as the days go by do the routines get longer and more challenging?
Beg. 1 is a great way to familiarize yourself with how I teach. If it’s too easy try adding more training after you finish. You can do the strength work again as you mentioned or the days you feel you need more check out theses sections https://studioveena1.wpengine.com/lessons/view_category/quick-lessons. https://studioveena1.wpengine.com/lessons/view_category/routines-pole-lessons and https://studioveena1.wpengine.com/lessons/view_category/ROUTINES_Strength_and_Stretch add anything that is beginner level to your pole session for the day. Don’t forget to track what you did ðŸ˜
I could cry, this workout is soooo hard now 😀 I didn’t think I had lost so much strength in a year. But hey I’m back and on it <3
Keep at it! Try not to think about how things were, but focus on the fact that you are well enough to begin this journey!
Yes I know. It’s diffucult because I know at which level I was :/
Loved that strength routine! I noticed my hips were doing an awful lot of cracking when doing the hip rotating lol is that normal? It wasn’t sore just very loud
It’s normal! One thing you can try is to adjust how you’re holding the pelvis. For example, if you tend to tuck the tailbone under, try doing the opposite or holding more neutral and vice-versa if you tented to stick the butt out.
Hi. What muscles are supposed to be working in the leg hook crunch? I feel like I should be focusing on my abs but my legs are working pretty hard to hang on right now LOL.
Lol, yeah, until you get comfortable with the leg hook position you’re gonna feel the leg working a lot. Trust me the abs are working too. Here’s the full tutorial for all the different leg hooks. Side leg hook https://studioveena1.wpengine.com/lessons/view/5e6a72bf-016c-486d-821f-5bdcac110005 muscles used are listed in the description. Here’s the rear leg hook https://studioveena1.wpengine.com/lessons/view/5e98d4b5-6894-49cc-9a0e-0b55ac110005 and the forward https://studioveena1.wpengine.com/lessons/view/5e854f73-9bf8-4fde-8274-4a7cac110005
