Day 5 spin pole
Today is all about climbs! Warm up using the Express warm up. Then choose 2 or more climbs to work on. Beginners stay with the Basic pole climb and performance climb. If you want to try them all do only one attempt per side.
Here are the timestamps and direct links to each climb.
Basic pole climb 2:40
Performance climb 3:25
X ankle climb 1:17
Side climb 4:47
done – thank you !
wow that side climb is a shin killer lol.
As you keep working on it you’ll start to use the upper body more. It really helps, I like the push grip for side climbs.
Yes I’m really realising how much upper strength I’m going to have to develop before I move on to the intermediate lessons. My boyfriend kindly bought me a pull up bar ha ha..So I’ll add that into the mix from now on. Just wondering in regards to the single arm cheat or twisted ballerina entry- what are the best ways to condition for that? I get confused, which I’ll over come with practice but I seem to loose strength before I figure out the trick. Thanks!
Ok for the ballerina, it’s not a beginner level trick but even as a beginner you can work towards it. My VIP plan for ballerina is a week long plan that targets/conditions all of the muscle groups and includes the skills you’ll need to know before working on this. Here’s the link https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/week-7-ballerina-1149/
I know a lot of people who are beginners use ballerinas but I don’t feel it’s safe. They often end up with shoulder or back pain because their bodies aren’t ready. It’s most common for them to do ballerina on spinning pole because it feels “easy” but when/if your shoulders aren’t ready that when problems pop up.
Thanks Veena, I’ll do your VIP plan and take it slow ☺️
Sounds good
