Thanks everyone for the advice. I just watched veena’s steaming video, so funny. Will be attempting that today, fingers crossed. 😳
i cleaned my pole with fairy liquid, hope that’s the same as the dawn one you use. I feel a bit of a difference so its good.
i tried to hold on to the pole so much last night that i lost a finger print. Haha
i was looking for itac 2 on ebay and they don’t seem to have it, strange, i thought ebay had everything. 😃

Hey, just got an x-pole in chrome and i find it really slippy. The poles in class are chrome as well and i seem to stay up alright. Is it because it’s new? Do i need to clean it with something? My hands don’t sweat at all neither.

Also, which is the best pole grip? I know some people use a spray, what is it?

Oh thanks for explaining it so clearly CCRockstar, so I think I would enjoy pilates a lot more than yoga. Im not really into staying in one place for too long. 🙂 Thank you.

Yeah dustbunny, I hear a lot of good reviews about those Alethea Austin DVD's, think I should invest on one of them for a start, see how that goes. 😀 And as soon as I get my pole I am going to get a month of Veena's lessons……Veena, you make it look so easy!!!

WOW, it took you just 5 months to get your splits with the book Ly?? So amazing, hope I can do that, thanks for the advice. Going to read a bit about that book, 😀

Oh and I am also going to see about that app, it could come on handy on my phone. 

Oh and thanks CCRockstar, I'll start with veena's lessons and progress from there, and if i get really into it ill start pilates. I was also thinking about yoga, is there much difference? 

Thanks again….https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

Thanks for the help. I'm going to try and follow your and see if it works, i'm sure i'll get there eventually. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif Think I might have to join veena's lessons. It does have flexibility videos doesn't it? As well as how to do specific moves?

Hi Lina, 

Well I have been taught some of the basics, the simple stretches we do before and after poling. But I don't think those are going to help me achieve my splits and moves such as the music box.

PDC Syllabus seems to be really good. It has over 300 moves and 3000 pictures to break each move into simple steps. Each move shows it's difficulty so you can stat off easy and work your way up. You can buy it only in it's own website. The 2013 edition just came out. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_santa.gif
