So I am a beginniner and I have been practicing going on day 2! I feel like I am holding on way to tight~ My hands are on fire!! lol Any advice, Also i was attempting the back hook spin, and for some reason, everytime I try it I end up hitting my calf on the pole and giving my self a horrible charlie horse, I also cant seem to keep my balance and once at the bottom of the pole I just seem to fall. I was also wondering if anybody had any suggestions for core exercises to strength my abs. After my daughter I dont seem to have any strength in that area. Thanks https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

OMG I just got my pole today and I noticed my hand doesn’t move from its initial position and my wrist/arm ends up wrapping around the pole. That is soooo bad, no? Looking at my instructional vids it doesn’t seem like other people’s hands/wrists do that. At first I get really sweaty hands and then I get so grippy I can’t move my hands. OY! I am trying to teach myself to release my hand grip a bit but I’d love to hear other thoughts on it.
As far as core goes… pilates, yoga… and you can use your pole too! There are a few clips on ExpertVillage (I watch them in YouTube) and this one instructor shows how to use the pole to strengthen your obliques, back, etc.
