New Pole Addict!

Posted by sugardiva on May 20, 2009 at 10:44 am

Hi! I’ve been pole dancing for fitness since November 2008 and am HOOKED!! I love this and swear its the best workout I’ve EVER had… I get asked all the time now what I’m doing! Now that the weather is warming up, I’m wearing tank tops and my arms have toned up so much, people comment on how muscular they are…

I love learning new tricks each week, but get really frustrated when I can’t pick up things quicker that I see online. I’m hoping to meet lots of people here that can give me tips and support…

Thanks for everything!
XOXO

Welcome!
Just like everyone says, we all learn at a different pace, so don’t be haaangry!

Of course, the most important thing is to go make a video right now and post it. Because people sure have been slacking lately on new posts. And I need new videos to watch! GIMME.

I’ve never posted a video before, so can you please send me directions on how to do that? I’ll be happy to, if you’d be so kind… and then send me tips on how to improve my skills.

Thanks! You’re a peach!

I have to tell you, when I got my pole at home, I spent probably 4 hours on it, determined to teach myself some things just based on what I saw online. Many of the videos I watched were you, so be proud that you’ve inspired me!

I’m struggling now with just pulling up on the pole if I’m standing against it… I can walk up to it and do an invert, but not if I’m just resting my back against the pole. What gives? What am I doing wrong? Am I just not ready yet or is there something I’m not doing right?

awww!! veena inspires us all!!!! she and fleur are like my idols. and berty too. actually, anyone on this site that’s plugging along and trying hard is my hero https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

if you want to upload a vid, what i do, is after ive published the video onto my computer, i go into veena’s site and under video’s click on "upload video", from there, you can find your video in your computer, enter in the easy info like title, description, etc, and voila!!! all set!!

Aw! Thanks SaschaPoles! That was so sweet to say! And thanks for the tip on posting video… sounds easy enough!

I just came from my workout tonight and it was great as usual… we learned our first combo spin- a Showgirl-1/2 pike. I’m only on Level 3, so technically we haven’t learned how to invert in class yet (but I do at home).

Welcome SugarDiva! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif So glad you’re loving the pole! It took me a verrrry long time to just pull myself up on the pole or do even the most basic of spins, but like you I was amazed at the changes I saw in my body so early on, even whan all I was doing was running into the pole like a dumbass and bruising the hell out of myself https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif – it’s such a fantastically challenging sport – I love it!! You’ll LOVE it here, if you haven’t already sign up for Veena’s lessons, they’re awesome!
