This was a very helpful post for me. I get a bit worried haveing myself bungee tied to the pole haha . I really need to find someone to spot me untill I’m comfortable. What if my leg got caught up and I couldn’t slip it out and I came down wrong. Oooh. Wouldn’t be good.

Hi Im new to pole,,,under a year, I just started to attempt handsprings and from what I hear its a slow going process. I am using a stretch band around the pole and hooking it around my foot so that as I start to move one foot off the pole ( from an invert) I don’t fall off the pole so fast. Takes the scariness out of it for jme. Im learning to strengthen my core and arms from an invert before kicking up into it from the floor. Good Luck. Dee

Thank you to both Ladies…My arms feel tender mostly the biceps so a break is a good idea and switching up the excercises Bi Week;y would be good to give them more rest time.I can work my biceps one week then my triceps the following week. Im a personal trainer and Im use to training the same body part twice a week but Im needing to change my thinking when it comes to Poleing because doing 40 lb bicep curls is way less intense than lifting my bodyweight 150lbs. This is sooo challengeing!!! Love it!!

What about the wintergreen scented rubbing alchohol? It’s a green solution. Smells so nice.

Thank you everyone so much for your support. I definitely am too concerned about my age. It’s definitely because of the classes in in with 20 year olds. I will make a.conscious effort to focus on myself instead. You ladies are all awesome!!! So glad I found studio veena.

Yes I definitely need a longer workout and recovery. I took a hammock class last night just before my pole class and that actually helped. Today I slept 10 hours from all over body soreness but it feels so good LOL…the body was definitely made to move and use our muscles. The endorphins are worth the soreness. I’m only 3 classes into level 1 so I expect this soreness now. I know I’m in the strength building phase. You hit the nail on the head…I feel like the class mother haha. Everyone’s doing cartwheels. I haven’t done a cartwheel in over 30 yrs !!! I’m a certified personal trainer. I’m thinking I should get certified in beginners pole and hammock too so I can teach the 50+ group. Thank you for your support. I really appreciate it.

Thank you for your encouragememt. I do need.to shift my focus. I’ve been surrounded by young beautiful girls and I felt intimidated and overwhelmed…I feel better when I just do studio veena at home. Maybe I should start a small group of 50 + woman to meet at my home pole studio once a week and train and have fun together. Then just take a class once a week with the younger crowd. I think I’d feel better.

Wow…thank you so much ladies…this is encourageing. I want to be able to look and feel good on the pole. It all seems overwhelming at times since I’m still in the strength building/flexibility enhancing process. I won’t give up as I’ve noticed improvement in just 6 months. But wasn’t sure how realistic i was being at thinking I could get as strong as I need to be. Taking classes may be whats causing doubts in me because I’m the oldest in my classes. I go twice a week and need to recover the rest of the week lol…a good kind of sore though. And the bruises!!! Lol…but I love it. I think when I finish my Level 1 classes in going to just stick to Veenas online classes so I can go more at my own pace and focus more where I need to. Instead of havein g to.follow along with all those 20 year olds. It’s discouraging me. Thank you again all you lovely lady polers for your feedback and encouragement.
