    I was in gymnastics for only 10 years. I also did ballet, cheerleading, drill team, and competition cheer dance. I am currently looking into Lyrical dance classes for adults. 🙂

    i pole 3 times a week i think …depends on my work, if im super busy i could go 2 weeks without practice…which makes me soo sad, always do a warm up freestyle focus on my grip and body movement, to get my self loose …ill mix it up with floor work and strength tricks. threw out the week. i have just started to stretch every day for about 30 min. my pole sessions vary..if im having a good day i can go for as long as an hour and a half. on a bad day 30 min. i need to get a better system down to get more consistent

    I generally try to get in as much pole as I can… sometimes this results in 5 days a week, and sometimes only 2 days a week… but I also try to keep in mind that I'm rock climbing now, and I also sometimes participate in the fighting practice for my LARP each Sunday.

    And also that my work is hell on my body. I stand for 5-8 hours each shift, and while they may not be often, it seems to really drain me of energy.

    My goal is to get my practicing a little more consistent, and to stretch far more often (it's happening maybe once a week, these days, and that is not enough!).

    I average twice a week with pole practice, sometimes three.  I do however take a bootcamp fitness workout class, as well as privates with a strength fitness trainer.  This has helped tremendously with stamina and strength to have better pole practices and accomplishments.I do neglect stretching and flexibility which hinders some pole tricks/accomplishments.

    Oh, my bootcamp fitness is twice a week, with once a week private.  I stopped when I got horrible flu in January and will be starting privates again in April.

    My schedule is usually:  Bootcamp class on Monday and Friday with private on Thursday. 

    Pole practice on Tuesday and Saturday or Sunday (or both).  Right now I'm taking a pole class on Saturdays which has helped tremendously in comparison to working on my own at home.

    Then when I make time, do some strength workout at home on over-the-door pullup bar and ab work, which I really need!

    Right now i practice mondays and fridays for about 90-120 min. The first two weeks i got the pole i tried 4-5x a week and realized i would injure myself if i kept that up. I would like to work up to mwf eventually.
    I am trying to figure out a good schedule now because i am used to working out 4-5x a week but it was leaving me too sore for pole. upper/lower lifting split isnt meshing as well as i had hoped.

    I pole about 2x week (~1.5hrs) right now, mainly because I'm doing aerials 4x week (1.25-2hrs).  I stretch 3x week (~1hr).

    Soon I hope to flip my schedule around and go to pole 3x (~2 hrs) and aerials 3x (1.25-2hrs).

    i pole about 4x a week but i focus on different tricks at each class or i work on the opposite side.  pole is definitely a quality over quantity type of workout.  when i pole less during the week, i am either working on flexibilty, cardio, etc.  zoraya started off with 1 pole lesson a week along with a clean diet…she's pretty amazing.

    I like to practice three to 5times per week if I’m good. I also do cardio on my off days to build up endurance.

    This past month has been kind of off for me with practice. I’ve been taking a week off in between practice weeks due to family stuff. I’m also looking to get a new pole that’s easier to set up so I can do things while I’m out of town

    I run 10k once a week, the rest of week I try to pole every night. But that’s because I really dont have much time each night, it’s 1 hour to 1.5hr at most, so I foam roll/stretch for half hour, then the rest is for pole. Often time I have only half hour to pole then I have to go to bed…
