I can only share my personal opinion and observation since I have no training or education/certification in this area. That being said, I can share my personal observations. I have seen square splits where the focus is to keep the spine upgright and shoulders back with light tension in shoulders pulling them back to open chest. I have also seen square splits where there is a huge focus on doing contortion like back placement to create a dramatic arch. Personally I focus on a straight spine with my shoulders and neck positioned over my hips. That creates more body weight over the hips area to put more downward force on my split.
Veena is ACE certified… maybe she will be able to offer some expert opinion! I know there are some experts here… maybe they will chip in.

Yes indeed, that would be me. Thanks again! 🙂

Stay inspired by watching your favorite pole videos and planning on what you're going to start back with! Its tough when our routines are disrupted due to medical situations, I hope you heal up quickly and can get back to your pole.

^^^ LOL CapFeb! I've double/triple posted before not really knowing how I even did that.

Thank you Webmaster!

Welcome for the post! 🙂 I haven't seen it performed too many times but I have also seen other dancers use that move. It always amazes me! @Nadine… I'm thinking spinning pole would allow the sustained multiple rotations around the pole like in the video. I'm no expert though… just figured on a static she would lose height.

I stick a little too well to powder coat and it causes friction burns that hurt like heck. If I'm on powder coat I am extremely careful about doing spins and will not do any drops. I love how they look though… and they are great if I am practicing moves that are not drops. I do like the extra grip, make climbs and inversions sweet! Especially when the room is cold and I'm just starting out for my session.

Keep working the power of visualization along with your practices and you'll have great results! I have dreamt about poling but in my dream my pole tore a 3 foot by 2 foot chunk out of my ceiling drywall and I started to panic on how I would get it fixed. Would have much preferred the effortless dancing dream!

If you enjoy pole and want to continue your journey, don't be discouraged! I would suggest you use a buddy system and not walk out alone to make sure everyone gets safely to their cars. I would also suggest you report the harassment to the studio owners as well, they need to know what is happening outside of their studio.
There are people that will take issue with everything and anything we choose to do. We can't control their behaviors but we can control our own. I'm sorry to hear that their behaviors triggered something negative in you. Whatever you decide to do… follow your heart and passion.

Thanks Lyme Lyte!!!

Unfortunately a 'ditto' type of answer. You can't spot reduce fat… our body stores it where it stores it. By lowering your body fat percentage you can reduce the fat overall.
Bigtime congratulations are in order for all that hard work and determination it had to take to loose so much weight. Great focus and great job!
Maybe you can focus on buidling/maintaining muscle and reducing overall fat to help you with your goals. But wow… don't lose sight of what you have accomplished so far. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

This is only my personal opinion… I find XPoles to be more slick than other poles I have used. It could be how my body chemistry reacts to it. The silver lining is I tell myself… If I can dance on an X… I can dance on anything! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
I use rubbing alcohol and a micro fiber cloth to clean my X pole. I wash my pole microfiber cloths without fabric softener and hang dry them. I put my lotion on at least 6 hours before pole. I make sure my pole is warm by doing lots of spins/climbs before doing anything inverted. I make sure I am really warm or else I will slide right off.
Wishing you the best successes finding what works best for you!

When you are not physically up to an intense session… allow your body that time. Do something less demanding or skip the session entirely. Fatigue can comprimise your form and set you up for an accident or injury or burn out! Better to pole another day than to push when you are not feeling up to it.
I'm sorry that you were kept up so late and then had to keep up with so many responsibilities.
Hoping that you wake up refreshed and read to hit it tomorrow!
Happy Poling (and Resting!!!) 🙂
