… stupid phone.
Other than that you seem to have a good mix of strength, Cardio, and flexibility.(Canfitpro group fitness instructor and pole fitness owner/instructor)

I think you can probably add pole to Fridays for sure without overdoing it and if you get an extra workout in occasionally on the weekends or throughout the week you’ll be doing well. Be careful about training pole on your yoga days if you’re worried about overdoing it on your forearms and core. If you do try it just take it slow at first and see how you feel. You may just have to be careful about what muscle groups your using. ie. Avoid split grips if you did a lot of chatarungas at yoga.

Hopefully this will help put your mind at ease. There is NOTHING that CAN'T be done on any of the commonly available sizes. 🙂 Hand grip is generally better/easier on a smaller diameter, and leg grips are generally better/easier on a larger diameter. But I originally learned how to sit on a 38mm, the smallest. It was fine. You will just get used to whatever you have. 🙂

I am probably the worst person to answer this, because I am the same way…I kill plants. My thumbs are about as black as they can get, LOL.
What I do is plant perennials, make sure you have varieties that will be in bloom throughout the season, and they come back year after year without much work or expense. All you have to do is pull the weeds. 🙂
Here are some of what I have: tulips and daffodils come up early in the spring, violets are not far behind. Hostas fill up large spaces (and get bigger every year) and have flowers that bloom in the summer. Tiger lillies are another one that spread, they have big orange flowers in the summer. Snow in Summer is a low lying plant with small white flowers that blooms throughout the season.
I also have a bunch that I don't know what they are called…my favorite has small pink and purple flowers that bloom in early summer, but the leaves are pretty all summer long, they are green with whitish polka dots. It's another one that spreads.
Rose bushes are pretty hardy too, I nearly killed mine last year when I was weeding. I grabbed a handful of it by mistake (the weeds were so big it was buried), thought it was dead for sure but what do you know, it decided to come back this year. It's pretty weak and small, I don't think it will bloom this year, but it has lots of new growth so hopefully next year…as long as I don't ruin it again. LOL
Just make sure you check where you are planting them, does it get full-sun, mostly shade, does the ground stay wet or is it fairly dry. Usually the tags on the plants, or info on seed packages will tell you how much sunlight they need, when they bloom, how much to water, etc.
Oh, one more tip about perennials, especially the kinds that spread. I've gotten nearly all of mine for free from family and neighbours. You can also get them cheap at yard sales too as people are always trying to cut them back!

Both outfits are super hot but if you’re worried about your stretch marks I would go with the second one. I think it has more coverage in that area. 🙂

Wow loved it! Makes me want a professional pole photo shoot

Good advice! You can also try pushing your feet off a wall instead of a step or table. 🙂

I generally don’t encourage jumping to grip aids too soon. Give yourself Some time, hand strength will come with practice. 🙂

I had forgotten that most people use the Veena grip for the flip. Is it possible to do with a regular double cup grip? Maybe my first step will have to be getting comfortable with a new grip.
