If your pole doesn’t fit in the frame, just download “free flip and rotate” from dvdsoft (Google it), and you can film it sideways and flip the video later.

Thanks Lyme. The back flexy is where I feel there's no progress. I want that flying ballerina SOOOO bad, but my body just won't bend that way…..yet. I can only pole once a week because that's all my schedule and my body allow so stretching has become my new obsession 🙂

Welcome! The best suggestion I can give you is to get Veena's lessons. She is a teacher you can trust and her lessons cover everything you could possibly want or need to know as a beginner. Strengthening/conditioning lessons that are geared towards pole in particular are imperative for a beginner. You can search the forums here for user recommended DVDs, but, for the price, you won't receive a better value or better training than you will get from Veena herself, IMO.
As far as how often you work out, that's really something your body will have to tell you, but start slow. An early injury can really hurt your pole progress. I am 40 and I work on my feet 80 hours per week. I own my business so protecting my back is critical. I work out on the pole once per week, typically for two hours, because that's what works with my schedule. In between pole practices, I do stretching and flexibility training whenever I have the opportunity. Many other members work out daily, but, after a year of poling, I'm progressing almost as quickly as them. Once a week is just what works for my body. It seems I progress best with tricks when my body is rested and well hydrated. But, this is different for everyone. Take it easy while you discover what works best for you.
You're going to love it here! This is a very supportive community. Excited to watch your progress 🙂

@polergirl – sorry you’re feeling blue. Just wanted to tell you that I love watching YOUR videos for inspiration. You have a very natural, sensual flow, and I think you are absolutely gorgeous.

Send Webmaster a private message. He can help you. When I first purchased the lessons, I had to log out and log back in to view them. If that doesn’t work, message Webmaster.

I started one year ago to gain strength and muscle tone and improve my posture. I need strength to continue to operate my business and protect my back as I age. I chose pole because I’ve never been able to stick to a workout. No other workout has held my attention. I’ve been lucky that I’ve never had any weight or health issues so working out has never been high on my list of priorities. But, I knew I needed to start doing something to strengthen my back. I will never get bored pole dancing. There is always another song to dance to, another trick to learn, a desire to increase flexibility, new shoes and pole clothes to buy… 😉
I’ve gained so much more than the strength I was seeking. I’ve made many new friends in this great community. The support and love of polers is unlike that of any other community, and I value and treasure the guidance and comfort I find here. I know pole dancing will be my lifelong passion, an outlet for expression, and a refuge from the trivial troubles of daily life. I began poling for physical strength. I continue poling for emotional release and community support. For me, pole dancing is truly holistic medicine. -
Love

From my phone I can delete my videos and video comments. Also can delete my blogs. Can’t find a discussion I started to see if I can delete that but it looks like I can’t delete discussion comments from my phone.
