Thank you Thank you for the video and advice!! 

Chemgoddess1, It looks like the top of the pole is inserted in the ceiling. Is that the case??

Thank you Veena!! I am strongly considering getting the X Stage Lite. Another question, currently I weigh more than 250 lbs. I was considering getting the X Pole portable pole (weight limit is 250 lbs) so I would not have to worry about stepping down onto the floor while doing my floor work. But you did say that the X Stage Lite is good for a beginner, were you factoring in floorwork practice for a beginner in your assessment of the X Stage Lite?     

I will be using the pole for strength training primarily, using your Lessons provided, until I build up my body strength to properly perform holds, spins, inverts etc. However, I am concerned that the X Pole might slip even while I am doing my strength training.  (!) 

I will not be performing any pole moves until I am within the weight limit. 

I did not see a weight limit with the X Stage Lite, however. I am just a little bit concerned that the stage is not wide enough (I'm 5'8"), or maybe not conducive enough for floor work as they say it would be. 

Well, that is my dilemma between getting the X Stage Lite or the X Pole, since I see both of them as working for me to a greater extent. I hope that makes sense. I'd appreciate any further comments…. Thanks

PDR, 

I use The Secret. Watch the movie. Buy and listen to the The Secret audiobook. Listen to the followup audiobook, The Power. 

It literally changed my entire life. 

I started pole in April and I have progressed at lightning speed. I VISUALIZE MYSELF DOING THE MOVES AND DANCE. Like Veena said. 

 Your mind will get you there. 

Imagine yourself with your desire, already. 

Feel yourself with your desire already. – Be grateful that it is done. 

Receive what you desire. 

 

Visualize yourself in the full expression of the pole pose, never deviate from that image during your journey, shut out all doubt and never let negative thoughts take root in your mind, and you will get into that pose faster than you ever thought possible before. 

And Always, Always, Have fun in the process.

i have been doing Bikram Yoga for 5 years, which helped to loosen my hamstrings and hip flexors significantly. I started my splits work on May 7. 

I use a resistance band to help, called the Flexistretcher. It is wonderful. Here's the link for it:  http://www.flexistretcher.com/flexistretcher.html
