I know exactly how you feel!!! I am at the very very beginning of my pole journey. I bought a pole back in October or November I believe. I still can’t even hold myself up on the thing! Since I’m at the very beginning and I’m super hard headed I’ve had to learn how to keep at it in a different way. So I took it upon myself to just have fun. That’s it! I’m not pressuring myself to do or become anything, I’m just playing! I weighed 272lbs. At thanksgiving, I’ve since then gotten down to 255lbs. I still have a long time to go before I build the muscle to lift that much body weight off the ground. So in the meantime of the long time it takes to lose the weight I’m wanting to lose, I’m building strength through yoga and using my body weight to build slowly. Not to mention the amount of time it will take to get flexible enough to use my body in the ways I need it to be used and moved. So I am literally starting from square one! Trust me I know how you must feel. You are most definitely not alone! I just try to take it a day at a time and focus. If I think beyond that it’s almost like I get overwhelmed at all the things I can’t do yet and have to somehow build up to and then PRESSURE AHHH! So I always have to remind myself to step back and just have fun. Have a set goal in mind for that day to slowly build to the overall goal… And focus on your daily task. That way you can feel good about accomplishing the daily task. One day at a time and I just am putting a lot of faith into the idea that what I’m doing will get me to where I want to go eventually, and have it in my mind that I don’t have a set date to “be good at pole” but that one day I will be pleasantly surprised and say OMG I’ve never been able to do that before!!!! And it will happen over and over again the more time I put into it.

Thank you Veena!! Yes that video was perfect and broke it down more. When I did day 3, I was able to take both feet off for a slight second lol. The very first one, I got it and was able to engage my whole body while keeping proper posture and body mechanics. However I still don’t have quite the strength but now I have the proper way to build it. I was only able to really get that first one, the others felt more like attempts but I’m more motivated to work up to it now. 😄😄😄

Thank you all SO much for the information. I really do appreciate it! I’ll continue day 3 today, and I’ll stick to just doing the 30 day take off for now. However depending on which day Sunday falls on I’ll just repeat a rest day. Those are my toughest days and sometimes all of my super deep clients line up on that one long shift.
I’m glad I’m not the only one not able to do a pole hold whatsoever. I was reading on another thread that you can practice the pole hold with your legs helping in the support? The link to the video seemed to take me to a video that may have been taken off. Anybody know more about that?
