I just shared it this morning with a friend looking for stretching tips…hopefully she’ll check it out.

I use Dove Clinical Protection Deodorant on my hands every night before I go to bed. You wash it off in the morning. I will also use Dry Hands about an hour before I pole. This has saved me like you wouldn’t believe….I am also a proponent of Dirty Girl Poletice. I use it in the summer when I’m extra sweaty, but still use the Dove before bed, religiously! By the way, it does not stain or remove color from my sheets.

Thanks, yrngrl. Prncsopowr, I just had this mental picture of dragging an XPole into my docs office, lol. Actually, my chiro has seen videos of me poling just for that reason. I have an appointment on Monday so I can understand the best application. There are a couple out there. I need to support my Rhomboids as well. I think that is where the initial weakness is coming from and my rotator cuff has been overcompensating.

I knew you would get some great responses!! I’m learning some new ways, as well!

I would pay to see that. Just saying.

I am 49 and started when I was 47. I wish I had started sooner, but I am amazed at what my body can do!!! You CAN teach an old dog new tricks, lol. I find that I must take breaks to keep my body from getting overstrained, but that does not hold me back at all. I will keep on poling and stretching and bending as long as I possibly can.

Aw. That it really sad to hear.

I have used my XPole and my StudioVeena pole on carpet. No problems.

Chem, you have to remind me which one this is. I get them all confused. Where is this usually held?

I think that it is only possible to be “100%” all of the time when someone has 100% of their time to dedicate to all aspects of flexibility and pole, etc. I am constantly yo-yo’ing with my strength. Sometimes I exercise 3 days a week, and other times I can go for 3 or more weeks without touching the pole, or weights. I enjoy it when I can do it, and I enjoy the time I take off as well. I am a huge believer in the balance of life.

There does seem to be something about powder coating that can exacerbate sweaty hands. Have you tried Dirty Girl Poletice, Angie? You put it on your hands like a mask, let it dry, and then rinse off. It works really well. Another reason I love it is that I don’t like to use grip aids on the PC (I do use them on my chrome) because it makes spins pretty near impossible for me. Like Veena said, Window cleaner (like Windex) only on the PC.

No PoleMoves. She has genetic neck issues.
