Cantetinza17,

Yeah I decided to go with the x-pole. Can’t wait till it gets here. I’m so excited.

Hi!! I’m a newbie as well, it’s been a few years since I last was on a pole and I was a newbie at that point as well. I just ordered my pole and as soon as I get it I plan on signing up for lessons. It’s nice to meet another newbie. Hope your enjoying it.

[Sandy45]

Oh wow. Thanks so much. I definitely will check it out when I get my pole. Really appreciate it 😊

[Sandy45]

Yeah I ordered the black one as well. Probably gonna need to get some of your lessons as well since I’m pretty much starting again as a newbie. Have a great Thanksgiving!!

Thanks so much Veena. I decided to go with X-pole. They actually have a powder-coated pole. It’s a bit more expensive but I figure you get what you pay for. I’ve been saving up for a few months for this present and am so excited. When I first tried pole a few years ago I fell in love with it then got a new job, moved, etc. and got away from it. I’m now 49 and hope it won’t be too hard at this age to get back to it. I do weight training but thought this would fill in the gaps as well as give me a good, fun, and sexy upper body and cardio workout as well as just doing something I really enjoy., dancing!! Can’t wait for my pole to get here😊

Oh my gosh. I laughed so hard I cried. I needed a laugh today. Thanks for sharing.

Have you heard of Brazil Butt Lift with Leandro Carvalho?  I love this workout.  It definitely focuses on your butt, but also on cardio at the same time.  There is also a "Tummy Tuck " (yes that is what it is called) workout with this; it is like 17 minutes long but will kill your abs.  You can check it out at BeachBody.com if your interested.  You will definitely get a great butt and abs as well:)

Hey jade s,

Thank you sooooo much, these will be very helpful just to give me some ideas.  I really appreciate, and hopefully hubby will to:)

Hey HyperHorsegirl,  Thanks for the input.  And, you're probably right about him enjoying anything, he's a guy, right:)  I have a few moves I feel comfortable with, I think I'll just practice making them look nice and not worry too much.  I am a bit nervous since I have never done anything like this for him, but he is always so complimentary of me anyway, I know that he would love it, so I guess I better get to practicing.  You were very helpful.

Hey Bitchy Witchess,  Thanks, yes I am a member, joined just recently, but I did not see the routine.  I'll have to look, thanks.  Yeah, it will be 20 years this May.  https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Hey mishamishamisha, thanks so much.  I appreciate it:)  I'll check it out.

Thanks for the suggestions MissKitty83 and MemphisKitten.  I should have no problem finding me a good pair of shoes with all these different websites to checkout, thanks everyone:)

Hey nefashpink, Just wanted to say I feel your pain as well.  I am a newbie to and, like you, I have issues with pain and sliding to the floor as well.  I get so frustrated when I try to climb the pole  and the pain in the top of my foot is excruciating and I always come down with a huge bruise on the top of my foot and think to myself, I can't do this, it's too hard and it hurts, but I refuse to give up.  I have stainless steel pole that's not very good quality (it is constantly getting loose from the ceiling and I always have to stop and tighten) and I slip and slide all over the thing.  Just waiting to be able to buy a good quality pole with a different finish and smaller diameter and maybe that will help with the sliding.  I tried the pole sit the other day, and it felt the skin was coming off my legs, lol:), but I figure if I keep it up, eventually I will get it and be able to do some of the tricks the ladies on here can do.  I also do Veena's workouts on here and other workouts on my own.  Good luck:)
