    I started poling last August (2014) at age 46. I’ve since turned 47. I pole at my little neighborhood pole studio once a week (where most of the polers are in their 20’s)and at home3-4 times a week with StudioVeena.com. Studio Veena lessons have given me the most bang for my buck and the best conditioning and instruction (though my neighborhood pole studio is great…here’s a shout-out to Tucson Pole Fitness.whoop.whoop.)

    It seems to have taken me about twice as long as my 20-something peers to progress from beginner to intermediate in spite of that I have been an exerciser most of my life, though not sporty or athletic. I just chalked it up to my age. Which is fine. Everyone is different in progress. And I am definitely progressing.

    For the first 3-4 months I had to remind myself of what I CAN DO rather than let my mind focus on what I couldn’t do and how much the tennis elbow I got was slowing me down and hurting. Geez. I’m glad the tennis elbow thing finally went away. That sucked.

    You just gotta be smart and listen to your body. Give it enough rest. Feed it like an athlete. Be persistent. Focus on what you CAN do. Keep conditioning. Have fun! Poling has been a wonderful inspiring developmental journey. I love it and I hope you will too. 😀

    AK: I really liked the fan-legs-into-plank combo. Sneaky smooth.

    Its taking F O R E V E R to process my 2 min 40 sec video. 🙁
    I tried deleting and re-uploading; I tried restarting my computer. After 8 hours! it still hadn’t finished “processing”. I’ve not had this problem yet. Anyone know the solution?

    AK : You can do elbow stand without the support of the pole! I’m impressed. 🙂 When I can do that it will be a breakthrough.

  • The pole studio I go to is owned by a nice young (30-something)actively Mormon couple. I’ve never had a discussion about how their church feels about them owning a pole studio but the couple doesn’t seem to have a problem with it.

    Since I’m still a beginner (6 months) I mostly feel awkward and slow when I practice alone and in class at the studio. But in November I performed in our studio showcase in a Foundations group routine and THAT made me feel EXHILARATED. I’m not stranger to be speaking to small groups of people but I had no idea I would LOVE PERFORMING to a medium group of people.
