I think I might be better on the pole a few pounds lighter, however I believe believe what will truly help me get better isn’t my size, but my strength and flexibility. It all gets down to strength me thinks, not necessarily weight.

I don’t think the broom handle jiggly will work for me. The A and B poles are pretty long, making it problematic in retrieving the x-joint.

Oh crap….
so it’s a problem with the pole.
Thank goodness it’s not me (I thought I screwed up)
-
Oh wow…I’m having the same issue, *plus* I’ve got a few scrapes where the main pole A is supposed to connect to B. I’ve written Heydi from X-pole, and am anxious to hear what she has to say. Other than that, I’m SUPER relieved to hear it’s not me (I always thought *I* messed it up), and that it’s a product issue.

I don’t know why I’m so afraid sometimes. It’s a tough thing for me with loving my body, I’ve suffered from eating issues for years. Then I got pregnant, then I got sober, then I got to 200 pounds. I’ve never fully felt comfortable in my skin, which is why I took up pole in the first place. Not only to find that inner sexy gal, but to become more confident in my own skin, to love my strength, and to find my voice. I need to surround myself with women who like me, have been on the bigger side and who pole (truth is I just need to surround myself with positive women, period). It will serve as inspiration, and a reminder that I can do it too!!!
By the way I think your videos are great (both of you), so amazing.

OK, I’ll follow trough in about a week. The upside to this is that it gives me time to clear a little space in my living room, and allows me to work more on floor dancing.

Thanks guys….according to Fed Ex, it should be here tomorrow.
I’ll keep you updated.

I’ve seen two tutorials on youtube, they were great, however neither showed how to take the pole down (or how to erect it by yourself). I’m not complaining though, when the pole does arrive, I will be referring to those videos.

Just like me to be impatient and not want to get it done myself, and not wait for the hubby.
It’s not here yet by the way, I’m just itching with anticipation, and want to pounce on it as soon as it arrives. I ordered the chrome 55 xpert pole,
Now, taking it down, has that posed any problems for you? I’m in the position where I *have* to take it down with each practice, because the layout of the apartment just doesn’t allow me to keep it up. I really wish I could keep it up though, and pole to my hearts content…..

Amyxshi does teach at Shokra studios. Her classes are fun, a little tough for me (but that’s because I’m uber stiff, and kinda big, the ULTIMATE beginner). She has great flow, and a great energy, I recommend you check her out. Here is the site for the studio http://www.shockrastudio.com/
Good luck, NYC is a wonderful place to pole.

There is a wonderful site called The Shape of a Mother, where women of all ages post pictures of themselves postpartum. It’s a wonderful site, practically brought me to tears. I decided to post pictures on it after seeing so many courageous women doing the same. I recommend checking it out…
