Anybody have tips or routines for beginners?

I think you’re doing good right now. You’re base level of strength seems better than mine when I began. You’re too hard on yourself. You’re also doing spin which in my opinion is more difficult.
PS. I used to work with a beautiful model who would always complain that guys didn’t like her or “bark up her tree” as she described it. It happens to models too so don’t be so hard on yourself.

@Veena- I am on day 7 of both the Flexy and the Take Off programs. I haven’t actually TRIED any of the routines yet, but I have watched several of them. I think I just need to work on strength in my abs or something to control my spins where either one or neither of my legs are on the pole. I will get there! I ain’t the quittin’ type!

“And because I KNOW what body type he is USED to seeing without clothes on, I KNOW I don’t measure up to those standards and I will be a huge letdown.. ”
Personally? Don’t do it.
Seriously, it doesn’t sound like you’re into it at all, and I don’t mean that in a bad way, I mean that in a “why put yourself in a situation that makes you unhappy and stressed” way.
You are setting your expectations so low, you aren’t going to feel good about yourself going into it feeling like this, so why push it? Wait until you have some more confidence and aren’t so down on yourself.
Pole dancing is about letting go in many ways and, unless you’re dancing for work (which I assume you’re not) it’s something you should be doing for yourself and the enjoyment of it.
I don’t understand why you are pushing yourself to do something that seems to be making you so unhappy with yourself. It makes me feel really sad 🙁 -
Lazarenka, you’re giving this guy so much power over you. He he is just one dude. I understand wanting to be attractive for your man, but you shouldn’t lose sleep over what he thinks. I guarantee he has issues with his own body and all his previous gorgeous girlfriends also had issues with their bodies. If he is the type to be so critical of yours he’s not someone you’d want to be with. But it seems that all the criticism is coming from yourself and not from him.

I just watched your videos….you’re hot and you dance damn sexy. I have body issues and yours is the kind of body I envy. We are hardest on ourselves. Your man should make you feel like he thinks you’re hot just the way you are. Despite my body issues, I know my man thinks I’m sexy and loves me and just standing by the pole turns him on. Have fun with it, roll with it, and if you’re not ready wait to do this. It should be fun! But anyway, you’re sexy as hell.

WOW, I was having a crappy day, and then I read that. Thanks!!! I work on it EVERY day, and I have gotten better, stronger, and a LITTLE bit more flexible since then. I will post a video soon. Thank you for brightening up my day!

I just tell it like it is

Don’t forget the power of rest days! Taking a luxurious day or two off and letting your muscles relax is definitely important 😉
And boy do I know it, double-injured as I am (sigh).
I can’t wait to see your video, Lazarenka! And to get myself up on the pole again!! -
I just watched your videos your beautiful and your dancing is sexy. I think we all see ourselves as not being sexy or pretty but in our own ways we are sexy.

I just posted another one… I think I have better videos, but I liked the song…
