Haha! Thanks Serzi 🙂

[JoleneBell]

That's what I thought 🙁 Thanks you guys.

[JoleneBell]

I just subscribed to your YouTube channel 🙂 Veena, are there any pole brands you'd recommend over others?

[JoleneBell]

Omgosh thanks so much Veena! This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much!

[JoleneBell]

Thanks for the link Lina! That looks definitely doable, and would increase my strength too I think! I'd have no problem working on that spin.

[JoleneBell]

Oh awesome! Thank you all so much, this is very encouraging. The instructor who introduced chair was filling in for the original instructor for just that class. Maybe she just had no clue what she was doing.

This is all very good information. At least I wasn't hanging and hurting my arms! I was desperate to have good form. What exercizes would you recommend for conditioning until I get my pole in a few weeks? And which spins are the best to learn first?

[JoleneBell]

Oh wow… you know, my husband said something along those lines. He thought it may be unrealistic to be pulling off spins right off. Would you recommend, then, that I just skip trying to spin when at class? I'll be getting my own pole in a month-ish or so, what pole-free moves can I do until then in order to condition myself? How will I know when I'm ready? Looking forward to your input! <3

Thanks so much for the encouragement JeHanne!

I will say, that the other girls complained of having raw skinned wrists afterward and my wrists never touched the pole, as I was desperate to have perfect form. Maybe that’s where I’m going wrong?

[JoleneBell]

Gypsy, I haven’t tried a grip aid but I’m sure I’ll be making that a purchase when i get my pole. Also, are crash mats expensive? Do I need one right away, or should I wait until I’m at least intermediate?

Ohhh okay. Good to know. That definitely does sound like a pain. I’m certain my hubby wouldn’t like that ha! He’s kind of anal about keeping the house in nice condition. Ramming a broom would not be his idea of proper mechanics. This causes me to consider Lil Mynx even more.

Thanks so much ninja! Very helpful advice! What is the X Joint, exactly?

[JoleneBell]

And thanks for the response by the way!

[JoleneBell]

What size do you use? And is it sturdy? How much do you weigh?
