    Within two months of poling i have now injured the tendons in both elbows. My dr. Has sentenced me to four weeks of rest. :). Unfortunately, I began at a studio with a “by any means necessary” motto instead of teaching proper form. I was already a very very very slow learner so it has been frustrating. However, the upside is it has forced me to focus on getting to a good studio versus just any studio. Also I would recommend Venna’s lessons. I started Veena’s lessons today and there is so much I can work on while healing.

    Interesting that you are from Brooklyn. I am a new poler so maybe the competition world is different but the one thing I have noticed is how diverse the poling community is. So diverse that I would find it hard to categorize a single group of polers. If I had to divide, it would be on gender.

    I wear 12/14. I don’t consider myself plus size. Hmmmm. Sounds like dangerous territory. I like the post that says a skill is a skill is a skill….. If nothing else the poler should self select into such a category. Just my two cents.

    Thanks for the quick responses. I was talking about the getting started video. I will go back to the lessons and see what happens. Thanks again.

    I recently signed up for the lessons. The introduction video came up but when I tried to play it it said I did not have access. I thought I should give it some time that maybe there was a lag between being able to view the video and recognizing that I had paid. I was able to get to the first set of videos and had the same question about the warm up being last. Thanks for answering that question but how do I get back to the introduction video? Thanks

    Yeah. It was what I asked for for Christmas in anticipation of getting a home pole. Even as a new poker I Took one look and saw it was a waste. Has anyone gotten money back? Hate to tell husband but……

    What finish do you have on your x pole. Why do you think it is so slick? Thanks.

    I spent the day pondering this decision. The pole was supposed to come last Wednesday and since it did not show up today (Saturday)I am taking that as a sign. I am returning the pole when it finally shows up. I think I am just going to continue to take classes and save up for a better finish. Kind of disappointed but better safe than sorry.

    Shoot! Just bought an x pert x pole from amazon. My first. Only been poling for three months and thought I could get better with a home pole. Everyone said not to go cheap and recommended x poles. It hasn’t even arrived and I am so discouraged. I am not very good. Can’t even climb. The last thing I needed is a problem pole.
