Ooo, yeah. I’ll check that out.

I’m not pregnant yet, but I was always told that what you did before pregnancy you can do during. You just need to listen to your body and be careful with movements where you activate your abs. I also remember when Cleo the Hurricane was pregnant and she was really candid on what she continued to do and what she didn’t do while pregnant. I’m glad both of you posted for this now other pregnant poling moms can still do it with confidence.

I have an S Factor pole. I purchased a different brand and I’m trying to take it apart because it came in its own case and I’m thinking about selling it, so I need to get it in the case. My problem is the main pole pieces won’t separate. I’m going to call a friend to help.

Yeah I have those bands as well and I’ve noticed it depends on how many times you wrap as well as making sure it’s at a proper height and I guess how you use the pressure when you use them. I’m sure what I just said makes no sense, 😅 But that’s what I discovered. I’m looking for tutorials that can show how to use them when training. You get them and then your like, “Now What”?

I get on my knees and I put my hands up over my head on the pole and then I try to pull myself off my knees. I started out with 3 sets of 5 and then I increased from there.

Treesy sorry I wrote my response on my phone and it autocorrect it.

Freest,
Oh-My-Lanta do I. Ever since I moved into my new home I haven’t pulled in 3 years consistently and I have gained so much weight. I remember when I was about 124 lbs and now I’m a 181 lbs. I don’t look like I weigh that much but I do. And everytime I look in the mirror I get a little sad but then I know that if I just eat right and exercise more that the wait will eventually come off. So every morning I look in the mirror and I tell myself five things that I love about myself that does not include my weight or my appearance. When you don’t focus on your appearance you realize that you’re a wonderful human being. Don’t get me wrong some days are a battle but on the days that are tough I just take it one day at a time.

I say take it down. I might turn some buyers off or buyers are going to want to play with it.

Well I hope she’s doing some pole work in heaven.

It really depends on the person. I have Elastic Steel and he’s really good; he has a slightly new internet version where you can download it’s called Easy Flexibility and wow you get some range of motion. It’ll take a little while to get used to the motion and the movements, but you get some great stretching. Alethea has one Felix Cane has one which is like a major workout in it’s self. You will be sweating. Veena has her 30 day to flexibility, Then there is the video series from BeSpun as well and Cleo’s. I have fit and bendy as well. However one of the best advice that I have gotten for getting flexible was to take a hot bath or shower before you stretch and wear warm clothes and to just be patient with yourself.

Way to make that money! Sounds to me like you need to rest. I don’t dance at a studio, but I use Arnica for my bruises. get into a nice warm bat to loosen your muscles; if you have money and the time get a massage. It’s time to switch out your shoes to maybe boots that way you can bind some padding to the tops of your feet for extra cushion and hopefully that might save your feet a bit.The advice that the military always presses HYDRATE! Helps with cramping and such.

That was beautiful.

I feel your pain! Some instructors like advanced because they feel like they get to teach the more fun and impressive stuff. I also wished that there were more instructors to teach beginner and intermediate or at least be able to teach all levels of certain tricks. Of course there are just some tricks that if you aren’t advanced it’s just best that you don’t try it, but I feel that when people have little expos like that that they should have enough for every level to feel like they got a lot out of it. For some of the harder stuff it would have been great for them to give you guys some conditioning to do while she showed the advanced and then had you guys work on possible moves that could lead into that trick. As for the cursing that is just the persons personality, so you gotta take that worth a grain of salt. There was an instructor at my studio that was male and he wouldn’t pay anyone else any attention unless you were cute, petite or already had particular tricks. It was rough. So people stopped going to his classes. What was the point? After a few days where his classes were being cancelled he got the hint.
Don’t raise hell, they won’t give you your money back because you took the classes they technically fulfilled their end of the bargain; but they do owe you an apology though.Since you wrote a letter I’m hoping that they can pass that on to the instructors and hopefully they will switch up their teaching etiquette and style.
I agree with Runemist34; take the time for yourself and remind yourself why you are amazing at what you do know how to do. All the other moves will come just keep practicing what you have learned and now you don’t have that pressure to get it in a matter of time because everyone else in class are ready to move on. You know what I mean?
The girl that poled for 4 months was she able to do anything? You can always do BBB or ripoffreport.com. Too much negative reviews can tank a business. You don’t have to prove nothing to the instructors. You are great in your own right. I say stick with Veena and the instructors that you know and any other pole sites that you can learn from at your pace. I’m so sorry that you went through that. It takes a special person to teach and unfortunately those instructors just don’t posses that attribute. Don’t let it hinder you from going to other expos.

I have been a new home owner for 1 year and my house has original wood flooring. it does scratch, but if you get the right company they can do stuff to your floor where it can add a protective coating, so when it scuffs you just buff it up. I’m saving to do my floors it’s going to cost like $4,000 to do. My floors were so abused before I got it. So it has to be refinished. Yes it is hard on the knees, but you can wear leggings or knee pads, but I say it’s good to practice every so often with out them to toughen your knees.
