Never heard of that before! I just did a youtube search on it and happen to find one perfect for splits! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBu0HQFDpME&feature=related YAY!!!! They have a whole series of different body stretches using this method. That's great thanks!!!

Really? I'm gonna check her out! If you find anything else let me know, I'm always looking to add to my stretching routine. I get bored easily and then lose motivation so I keep trying to switch it up. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I have the same issue. I love my maxiflex but I have been neglecting it lately and doing my stretch on the floor after running. I'm a believer now in the power of warm muscles. I get so much farther in my splits after I'm super hot after a run. I tried the stretches in the video you posted and wow what a difference! Great for the hip muscleshttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Thanks for sharing! These look like great stretches. I will definately be adding them to my routine. I too am struggling to get my splits. I use the maxiflex which is great but it's always good to mix it uphttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

The woman in the video posted was also an instructor at the original BeSpun I think. If you check Leigh Ann's Youtube Profile some of the eariler dances were done by Angela…hmm can't remember her last name. Damn she's good! LOL
-
I love this video for floorwork and transitions. I think she worked at Bespun at one time because there are videos of her pole work on Leigh Ann Orsi's youtube page. Great song for it too!

Hmmm for those of you who have boots they pole with which do the like the best and what else should I look for? LOL who knew buying boots would be as complicated as doing your taxeshttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif?!

@Horsecrazy good point. The thing I like about these boots is they taper outward at the top so they give room for upper thigh area. Thanks!

@Cringirl lol oops I totally missed "side zipper" in the web site description THANKShttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
@ Moth I have the opposite problem where they scrunch down bc they make the sizes for thinner legged ppl. Thanks for your imputhttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
@Chemgoddess1 ahhhhhh ok I see the difference now. THANKShttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
@Ivygirl726 I'm glad you mentioned the sizing. I'm a 6 1/2 and I find in Pleaser I wear a 7 so I was thinking of going with the & but wasen't sure about the calf sizing. THANKShttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Thanks Lyme Lyte and Chemgoddess1https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
@Chemgoddess1-There isen't more details even on the pleaser sight. I'm glad you mentioned the issues with coated lycra ones because I had never heard of thathttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif. Are those the more legging type boots? Would they normally list that in the description?

Welcome to SV! I too have wrist problems. I struggle with mild carpal tunnel and I found that in my first months of poling it was excruciating. The biggest mistake I made was to go straight into learning spins and tricks without doing the strength training. Poling requires alot of body strength including wrist strength because in most instances you're pretty much lifting your entire weight. My friendly advise would be to ensure that you work on strengthening your wrist and upper body muscles as it will make a huge difference in how quickly you learn poling as well as ensuring no injuries. I'm not an expert by any means but this is just what my experiences have taught me. Hope that helpshttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Thanks Veena! That's a good idea I never thought of thathttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gifI was hoping you weren't going to say that. I'm having trouble getting my hand to reach the pole when I have my knee to my chest. When I tried it the first way I was able to get it bc my torso was lifted but my scorpio isen't that secure all the time so I wanted to get the half jade way. Hmmm maybe my torso isen't high enough? So much for finding that plan for world peace tonight lol
-
Thanks Veena, I was actually following your lesson on it and found I the second to be a bit easier for me but I'm just getting lost on the hip turn. When I'm in half jade with knee to my chest do I somehow turn my right hip at that point? Probably a very silly question but I've been struggling with it all day so I'm obcessing about it now lol
