I too have been to this place and its never a good feeling but to put a positive spin on it just think about poling and getting super awesome and how amazing your body will look while poling!! Post a youtube video and let him eat his heart out!!!

Sparrow,you cracked me up on the boots without socks comment!!!!Im with you on what socks to wear with what boots!

I love all the comments and I agree with everybody. I teach preschool and unfortunately the stigma that is attached to pole is stripping. People need to be better informed of the extent of pole. If I happen to tell a parent and they look at me funny I explain to them the fundamental side of pole and the physical challenge is exhilirating!!To all my co workers who found out by way of gossip, I just smile and say yup, i dont make enough money teaching!! lol I just let them believe what they want. I dont have time for ignorant people.

Hahaha! I love this thread. I think they just have to try something on our poles. My husband tried to climb and was unsuccessful and I laughed my ass off. He gave me mad props after that for doing the tricks I was doing.

StudioVeena: Can you please give me some tips for spinning mode? I have been nervous to try because i dont know the science behind it. Dying to try though. Been poling for 3 years and no spinning yet!!

Thanks for the tip. I have not been consistent with the 6 weeks to splits so this DVD would be awesome!!

I have been poling for 3 years and have not tried spin mode on my pole. Dying to try but nervous I will fly off!! I will have to get the dvd mentioned below! Thanks

Sassylina: Im not exactly sure what you are saying about the knees but as I thought about it your hips would be on the wrong side of the pole for ayesha. It s a cool transition in theory!But sliding down into the diva dive would be awesome.
Lina: I have not tried the aysha part of this transition but now I want to go home and play and see if there is a way to get into it without falling!lol -
Yes you do have to turn your body. If you slide your hand down that is supporting you (kind of backwards) from your plank and turn your body towards the pole, you will be in a position to attempt ayesha. You will be gripping as you would when doing caterpillar up the pole.
-
You could slide down and go into an aysha or do caterpillar back up the pole. If your that advanced you could slode down into a diva dive!! Fun

Hello! Kslice gave some great pointers. I would add that core strength is crucial for this mount. You can use your pole as a workout tool for core strength. Google Dakota Fox strengthening exercises. This helped me a lot. Good luck, you will get it!

I agree with Chemgoddess. As I am doing this program right now I have taken a couple days off if I’m feeling really sore. You have to listen to your body and believe that you will accomplish this tremendous feat even if it takes a little longer.

So happy to see other women in their 40’s (Sieria and Greyeyes!) are poling! I will be 42 in April and have been poling for almost 3 years. I LOVE IT! My husband bought me my first month of lessons and I never stopped. Serenkke I have a feeling your husband will come around when he sees you in a sexy position on the pole! Greyeyes< so glad your husband came around to appreciate what has become an important part of your life. My husband told me after 3 years of showing him tricks, he doesn't want to see any more tricks, he wants a routine!! so a routine is what I am finally working on! If he wants a show, he will get one!!lol Have fun and keep poling.

Hi Ladies! I started the 6 weeks to splits 2 weeks ago. I stayed on target the first week and the second week my life interfered with my schedule. I did find that after a few days I was really sore so I would take a rest day and be fine to stretch again the next day. I dont see this happening in 6 weeks but im not giving up! Im bound and determined to be as flexible as a barbie doll!!! lol
