I bought it but didn’t get very far. what has helped the most is Jim Whartons flexibility book. You hold the stretches for just a few seconds. It’s a very informative book. I also have my pole instructor stretch me and I am about 4 inches off the ground, my pictures are posted. I started about a foot off the floor. The stretch that I really think is helping me is I lay on my back leave one leg straight and have someone push my other leg as far back as possible. but gently. almost like splits on your back. then after doing that I get up and try the splits and hold for about 15-20 seconds and contracting and releasing while in the splits. and I inhale, on exhale go down a little further. but don’t do anything past a few seconds because the muscles panic according to the book and will stop you so progress will be halted. After I am down in my splits I will go back to staceys video. I don’t explain well but that is what heped me.

I am 47 and in better shape now than when I was younger. I have gained flexibility, strength, confidence, enhanced mood. I am glad I started poling. Its been a year now and dont see myself stopping anytime soon.

Veenas lessons, in my opinion are the best for me so far…for home polers. you get physiology, proper technique, personal replies from Veena when a call out for help, all the training you will need to get where you need to be. I love them! good luck! I tried a few of the other sites. no complaints really justnot as complete as Veenas.

Before begining any diet check with your primary care physician and see what he or she has to say about it and go from there. I tried this diet recently and I couldn’t finish it because I just didn’t have the energy to pole and was not willing to give up pole for 30 days. You lose weight but I believe it is the result of the extremely low calories. My boobs grew out 2 sizes, I am a 36DD now, I had horrible menstrual cramps and very heavy bleeding so those were my side effects. This diet is not for the faint of heart or someone that is not very very disciplined. You have to be committed to it. The food is boring and it just didn’t feel natural to me to restrict certain foods. I believe everything in moderation. I have lost a lot of weight with pole and think I will just pick up another day during the week to lose the last few pounds. I have gone from size 16 to size 8 misses. No real big diet changes just everything in moderation and eating off of a salad plate; pole 3x’s per week…that’s it.

Hi Annie,
I am coming from summerville south carolina. I take lessons at Goddess Studios. Sure hate I missed last week, I do pole for the cardio so that would have been awesome. -
Thank you I will call when I get there. I’d hate to have to go to a strip club just to get through pole withdrawal https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif)

I am wednesdays’ at 6:30, wed. 2p and thrs 1p. I like to put a day in between to rest my muscles. The day times dont work too well because the kids get out at 2…bbbaahhhh it’s just a mess.
BTW, if you have any tips on what helped you get the scottish straddle give ’em to me. I am still struggling. The ladies here broke it down to me and it helped ALOT but the trouble I am having is getting my knee higer up to go thru. I don’t know what I am doing or not doing ugh!
Glad we connected https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif) and I am all for some get togethers you ladies just let me know. -
Hey Tara!! yes that’s me. I will help you remember me…I sat next to you and your husband at the halloween party. I was a kitten. I can do a lot more on the pole than I am allowed to do in class https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif. I am working on my core strength to get the knee hold, but I am sure it will take months.
Girl you freakin rock on the pole!!! You blew me away with your doubles performance at the halloween party.
The first time I saw you we were in a 101 class, and I remember your "move up the ranks dance." I have been wanting to quit classes and just do it at home because of the new schedule but will stick it out because I have made so many wonderful friends https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif)
I hope to catch you soon. I WANNA BE LIKE YOU WHEN I GROW UP!!! -
I’m at the Summerville studio too! I am level 3 now. I started march 2009. I am not very good at it but doing it for fitness and have gone from size 16 to size 8.
