Hey I am new to pole as well. I feel the same way!
I have only poled a few times so far. I just can not find the time. -
hey sorry i havnt posted in a while. been really busy with work.
ive found some pole lessons near to me and theyre at a good price too.
i went to the first session and did an elbow stand, pole climb (almost a full pole sit), chair spin, martini spin, spinning climb and loads more! made some new friends too and have been working more on my own pole.
i was dead chuffed with myself the other day i was up late poling and i did a crucifix hold with no hands twice!! and managed to do a better climb and sunwheel spin https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif

That’s awesome! I too started with very little strength and a slow beginning. I found that in addition to building up strength I was much more motivated to work out when I spent a little time just dancing around my pole (even if I couldn’t do many moves yet). But after 8 months of poling I am realizing that I never completely committed myself to it (only working out once a week and not doing any supplemental strength training) and so have plateaued… Now I’m diving in and just started the 100 day workout challenge on another thread so I can gain the strength to perfect the moves I know and finally move forward with new moves!
Just don’t give up, and work hard! You can get there jet like the rst of the pole dancers here did if you want it enough!

What is your 100 day workout?
-
Basically just an extreme consciousness about time spent exercising and being healthy- I’m trying to work out around five times a week as opposed to my previous one day a week …
Come to me, muscles!

I was the same way. I am still super new to this as it has only been a week for me as well. Day 2 I started noticing myself getting a tad bit stronger and I was telling myself it’s only been a day. By practice day 3 with 2 days off in between after my muscle pain went away I was a lot stronger and was shocked by what I could do. I could sit on the pole, with unbelievable pain and burns in the process still sliding a bit. I was able to pull myself up on the pole, but not able to climb the pole yet. Day 4 I was able to pull myself up easier than the day before and was able to hold myself up as well.
Sometimes I think I am progressing to fast to where it could be seen as unsafe becuz I was unsure of how often to pole, but after getting a few tips from a fellow poler on youtube and watching tip videos on here I knew I was doing the right thing by spacing my practices to only a few times a week. My first week of practice I only did 4 days out of 7. I am now going to practice probably only 3 days a week now.

I’m fairly new too been poling about 5 months…Don’t feel bad! The strength takes awhile to build up and when I say awhile I mean weeks…but honestly I think it all depends on how often you get to/decide to practice! I probably would have been poling climbing and been a little more ahead strength and move wise if I had a pole at home sooner to practice on I think. I was poling close to 3 months before I could climb and I still struggle with climbing a little now days. I just got a pole at home a couple months ago and I’ve seen a difference in my learning since having a pole to practice on. Practice, practice, practice and just as equally important…patience make perfect! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif Don’t give up!

Hey hun, you are totally normal! I could not hold my own body weight for at least a few weeks and I would be unable to lift my arms above my head for days after a good pole session when I was first starting out. It took me over a month of practicing 2-3 days a week to be able to climb and sit and even then it burnt my skin like crazy. And don’t even get me started on the bruises…
All I can say is exactly what everyone else has said, it just takes time and lots of practice, but you will get there in the end https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
