Lots of good advice here! I find that making sure to really stretch out and a soak in Epsom salts bath and sometimes s bit of heat rub works wonders! I would stay away from the pain killers it is generally muscle soreness from lactic acid build up which means you need to make sure you spend more time in your cool down and stretching!:-)

I also have the brushed brass x pole! If my skin is dry I slip. really helps with that! And making sure my skin is well moisturised a day before I pole.

I use itac 4 at times but also find I need to put a touch of dry hands on top to stop the slip ! I prefer it to itac 2.

I have the 40mm brass x pole I am 5 ft 11, I also have the 45mm TG , I love the 40mm , I also love the 45, most studios in Australia have 38mm , I’m very happy with mine:-)

I have itac level 2 and 4, mighty grip , dry hands, and tight grip all on hand each one works at different times depending on my skin the weather and the pole,! Sometimes I do not need any thing, sometimes i need to mix them, and other times nothing at all works including using nothing! Those are the really good strength building days ! Though frustrating!

Pole has helped me keep my sanity and work off my stress, during the past 2 years my eldest daughter has had many problems with addiction to both prescription medication and non prescription medication, never knowing What state I will find her along with my 3 beautiful grandchildren , there have been incidents of child neglect , leaving 2 month old baby in car not knowing where she was( I found her) almost unconscious , to getting the typical verbal abuse along with pathological lying that an addict does, being abused publicly on FB and accysed if being the parent from hell that has caused all this !!finding my daughter unconscious with her 3 children fending for themselves having to report her to the appropriate agencies to make sure my grandchildren were going to be looked after, dealing with the guild that somehow I must be a really bad mother and trying to figure out what it was that I must have done wrong along the way! And yes She is still battling this problem !! pole has been my SAVIOUR!

I agree with webmaster if you have Veenas lessons there is no need for others DVD, however i do have Valentino stretch DVD and they make a nice change as i get sick of the same routine quickly, they use a stop watch which goes off so you know when to change and their explanation is very good, i also have Altheas and have found her cues not as good however i believe the most advancement has come from Veenas and Altheas stretch routine.:)

Listen to your body, it is very good at telling us when we need to stop or slow down, So take heed the stretching can wait for a couple of days you will not loose what you have gained .:-)
