Enjoy, it will probably become an addiction–in a good way.

I wish I could hair flip but I stink at it. When I do manage it my hair always ends up plastered across my face in some unattractive way. I’m sure that’s a combination of my lousy technique and my flat as a pancake, thin hair. You’re not alone, we’re not all hair flippers. 🙂

Thanks, ladies. I definitely was lucky. Most of my bigger falls at least involve a trip to the chiropractor but I literally didn’t hurt or bruise a thing on this one. We got it tightened up now and when I screwed up my courage to fling myself again it stayed solid.
Be safe. 🙂

Veena, you’re welcome to put it on FB. I’m the only person in the world not on Facebook. 🙂

That’s a great idea AK as opposed to me standing in my closet staring at my clothes for so long that the light bulb gets too hot and goes out–then I can’t even see what I’m staring at.

I went back and looked at my IG to see what I did first. While I said I did elbow grip first I meant forearm grip because I didn’t do elbow until much, much later. So I did forearm grip and then split grip shortly thereafter. Elbow grip for me was ages later.

I wouldn’t pole one day and lift upper body the next. If I felt I needed to lift upper body I would (and have) lift on the same day I pole so they can recover the next day. Personally I would lift after pole if you’re going to do the same day because if my arms are too tired it will be a very crappy pole day but lifting after just means I’ll probably have to use lighter weights but the arms are still gonna get a great workout that day between pole and weights.

Allyson, I’m fascinated that you save your outfits! So organized. Thanks for weighing in. I tend to wear the sexiest clothes I own to a pole show figuring if I can’t wear it there, I can’t wear it anywhere. My thigh high black boots get to go to the pole show–and I wear them to the comedy club. Don’t ask me why I think the comedy club is appropriate. 🙂

Ditto that, Veena. I dress up when I go to the pole show at the Arnold but I didn’t want to be the only one! Thanks for the response. Maybe I’ll see you there. 🙂

Hmm, that’s a good idea. I haven’t had a chance to work on them since I posted. Been busy or maybe I’ve been busy pretending the marks aren’t there.

I’ll give that a try with the micro fiber. Thanks for the suggestion. Dang floors.

Pleasers and it was dragging the toes with my leg warmers completely over them! I tried vinegar in water but no luck so far. Perhaps repeated efforts will help or I suppose I may have to call a professional. I can imagine me (48-year-old) explaining what the marks are from to some 20-something.

Yesss! I am obsessed with finding a way to pole outside. The pole at my local playground is just not all enough–and the kids seem to think it’s for them to play on!

Hey Tropical, as others have said you’re not alone. I saw your most recent fall on IG and was worried as it looked like a hard fall. I have been off pole and all exercise for a month due to something going haywire in my back in a genie–I didn’t even fall, just leaned down, something moved and I was done. I had trouble walking for two weeks because of the pain going into my leg. So scary–not that I wouldn’t be able to pole but was suddenly worried I wouldn’t be able to walk without pain. You and I are about the same age. We have to be careful though I don’t think either of us are used to that or like the idea of limiting ourselves physically. I believe I am getting wiser with my choices and more careful but I don’t like it. I rarely if ever do challenges because poling every day or even close to it just doesn’t happen for me. I have only recently started going to a studio regularly and do enjoy it but, by and large I’m still poling alone at home too. I don’t have any good advice but wanted you to know I’m right there with you. I’m trying to protect myself so that I can be active now and for many, many more years.

Congrats Veena! You deserve the recognition.
