I don’t know what a dangerous Brian is Chem? Can’t find it in lessons.
Bow and arrow is a great idea though!!! Thanks 🙂 -
Lyme, I had no problems when I fear set up my Xpole but when I moved into fellas and put up there I have had exactly the same issue. When on spiny it ‘catches’ or ‘springs’ back when you spin it. I found that the ceiling wasn’t quite level and put a piece of wood underneath it to level it out an that helped but still not smooth like it used to be 🙁

My fella is a sport science teacher, degree and currently studying for MSc. he says….
Protein shakes:
The only Negative – smell coming from your bum (I agree :-/ )
It’s not the supplement that makes your muscle get bigger its the training
Supplement + training = muscle increase.
Supplement + no training = sloppy poo!
The type of training is what matters, if you’re doing lots of weight training ie barbell curls and bench press your muscles will get bigger. If you’re doing strength or muscular endurance movements ie pole, you’re muscles will get slightly bigger but mostly harder and denser. Meaning you’ll end up looking more like Jessica Ennis than the Incredible Hulk!
In terms of protein: a supplement reacts the same way in your body as food but with a pro shake timing is vital, as its main aim is to aid recovery, all the current peer reviewed research states you should take 20-25g with water immediately after exercise, at least within 30 min if you can’t have it immediately. The rest of your protein should come from whole foods- chicken, meat, fish, dairy. But, if you’re struggling then taking 20g of pro powder mixed with skimmed or semi skimmed milk at least 2 hours between meals will help you get in your protein needs. But don’t have it with milk directly after training as this interferes with absorption rates.
As a final note, for your type of training (pole 4/5 times per week) you should aim to consume 1.3g of protein per kilogram of body weight per day (food mainly, protein shakes after training). Studies have shown that anymore than 30g in a 90min period provides no further advantages.
Protein will not make you fat, as it cannot turn to fat, only too much carbs and fat will make you fat!
Whey isolate is the best 🙂 don’t pay more than £15 per kg, it’s no better.Hope that helps!

I vowed to start this as soon as my pole room was ready, it is ready, the pole was up on Sunday night and I started the 30 days today….Day 1 DONE. I have to say I LOVE it, I thought I would be bored, I was not, it is a great start to structure my pole sessions, I can do all the videos and then anything else I want afterwards. I'm going to endeavour to do it every day, realistically I'll probably end up doing it 3 times a week, but you never know, it might be the 'pill' I need to get me doing daily exercise…

Kate92, yes it is important to learn on both sides. I do not want to perform or compete but I do want to be a good, strong and fluid poler and to achieve thy you need to train both sides- exactly the reason I am going back to basics. I have trained both sides for strength- pull ups, inverts etc but not for tricks and spins and it shows in my dances… Start now 🙂
Thanks to everyone for their stories, they really do motivate me x -
Raven, you response is exactly how I feel those around me are progressing in strength and after 4 months of only 1 pole session a week when I used to do 3 my strength is fading quickly. That is what has made me think about this, if my strength isn’t there to progress my Ayesha and nail my handspring everytime then I need to look at other stuff, it’s the perfect time to progress something else.
I have seen you perform and you are an amazing poler so knowing you recommend this has motivated me so much more- thanks 🙂
Hopefully I’ll be pirouetting for fun and the pole jam in April! X -
That is a real shame, I have seen those videos already on you tube you are right…you can watch them for free…how rude..

Mine is one of the supporting muscles, probably the gracilus.

I did a similar thing stretching for middle splits, something went pop on the inside of my thigh. At the time it wasn’t painful the day and months after it was and I lost ALL flexibility in that leg.
I very much recommend rest, do NOT stretch it and visit a Physio ASAP. I left mine alone for about 6 months, it didn’t get any better and as a result my hip has tightened and the nerve in the thigh too. My Physio has me doing exercises for my hip and to lengthen the nerve now. It is helping massively. -
My pole left a mucky ring too on the ceiling, I just got a baby wipe on it and it worked a treat, marks came right off 🙂

Haha.. This reminds me of a little tale…took my goddaughter to Tesco last year, whilst waiting in the barriers at the check out she started swinging around the poles that hold the line in place, and shouted at the top of her voice, “Auntie Shona, you do this at home!”, everyone in the que wa watching and listening.. Hehehe!
