As much as I wish that pole was as popular when I was younger I don’t want to be younger in this age and day.
I routinely get "I hope I look as good as you when I am your age" along with many not believing I am in my 40’s. Pole keeps you young!!

This page on the X-Pole UK site says it won’t be available until spring:
http://www.x-pole.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&category_id=22&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=129&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=89&vmcchk=1&Itemid=89" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I’d imagine that the UK would have it available before the US, so… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif
That was Spring 2010.

I would contact Sissy and see if she has any more info. Empy I think is still in Jamaica.

This site is beyond amazing. There is SO MUCH information on this site and it is put together really well.
ExRx
The link is to their Exercise and Muscle directory but there is so much more on the site.

With Pleasers if they are boot style or closed toe I have to get a 10 and they are a bit big on me. For sandal styles I go with a 9. I typically wear a 9.5. I also have had issues with Ellie running too wide, and I have wide feet! I think the Ellie boots that I have (well, technically Penthouse) I bought as 9’s and they are perfect!

You are not my friend for introducing that site…..

What really helped me was doing reverse decline crunches. Basically on an inclined ab bench sit backwards. I would use the pads that you are supposed to wrap your feet under to grab on and then do reverse crunches and then bring my legs over my head. Yoga plows are really good for this too.
reverse decline crunches
At the end actually bring your hips into the air.

I am 41 and have bounced through the same sizes as Veruca. I have been 25 lbs heavier than I am now and was even 15 lbs heavier the beginning of this year. What she posted years ago on the other forum is just as true today. I am going into year 3 of poling and there are still so many things that I can’t do nor probably ever will be able to do, but I am constantly amazed at the things that I have gotten this body TO DO. I will never be as good as any of the people who are competing but it does not matter to me. This past weekend at a party I was able to pole and the look on my hubby’s face when I was done almost put tears in my eyes. Those few moments when you are lost to the world and it is just you, the pole and the music…THAT is what continually draws me to pole and to push myself.

The tail spin is similar however BOTH hands are above the pole.

If you are on Facebook you really need to add this group:
Grande Dames of Pole Fitness. There is even going to be a contest next year at the Midwest Competition for those 45 and up. There are quite a few of us in our 40’s and up on the site, too!
As a side note, Shelly Lamb who is also a member of Grande Dames just took second place at USPDF West Coast!!

I have been poling for 3 years almost and still do not handspring. If I were taking classes it might be one thing but I just do not trust my strength enough to even attempt it. I would love to be able to do it but I also know that when I do feel comfortable enough it will happen. Pantera helped me a lot with set up and progressions of the movement so it is now just going to take time and practice….2 things I don’t seem to have enough of!!!
