Welcome to StudioVeena! You found the right place. Pole is a journey to enjoy. Runemist said it perfectly, don’t compare yourself, everyone is differnt. Enjoy every accomplishment that will lead into the next one. Have fun!

First of all, welcome! Second, I think Veena and others can give better input than I can. I tried doing boot camp full body workout and pole on same day, didn’t work for me, it was too much. FYI I am 62 and this was just few years ago. So my schedule of workouts is different than others. Sounds like you have full workout schedule. One thing is getting rest days for recovery. If I may ask, how did you injure yourself and how soon do you think you’ll get back to pole?
I eventually cut down to one day week for boot camp workout, and 2-3 days a week for pole. The work out place I was going to suddenly closed down, so for now my focus is on pole.
I hope you can find a schedule/plan that works for you to include pole.

I do the same with certain moves. A lot of the time I can shoulder mount over and over when working on a move that starts with SM. But at home, I’m luck if I can manage a decent one, MAYBE two.

Yup, can relate! And sometimes It’s not because I’m tired or sore, just not able to recreate what I did at a class or workshop. I let fear or doubt get in my head. I’m starting to focus on practicing more at home again and work on things from previous classes, hopefully I can get some new moves/holds. I have a short list of things from classes and hope to accomplish at least one or two things lol

I am 62 and have been poling for approx 12 years. I started at almost 50 with no dance background, NOOOO flexibility. I had been working out with weights, strength training, etc., but it was nothing compared to pole. For as long as I have been poling, there are still A LOT of things I have not achieved, and I’m okay with that. I don’t feel I have to do what everyone else is doing if it’s not good for my body, too strenuous, or if it scares me! 🙂 I admire those like Greta Pontarelli and others I know who are just as awesome in their later years, but I feel people like me and many on this site are the norm (that’s just an opinion). We have different abilities, reasons for poling, different styles. As we always say, don’t compare to others and your pole journey is your own. Veena’s lessons are the best so you will get a great foundation, and help from members here. WELCOME!!!

I love YogaBela Vitoria print shorts, YogaBela Deusa Bra print tops, YogaBela LIBERDADE BRA prints. I prefer shorts that completely cover butt cheeks.

Absolutely stunning!!!!

Hmmm I might get a cheapie hula hoop to try this. Just hard to get off my butt to start practicing when it’s cold. Jump roping poops me out too much, especially since legs are the weakest part of my body for stamina.

Welcome, you came to the right place!!!

Thanks for the info, Webmaster.

Last night it happened immediately, the first time I started the video. But will try that. Thanks.

FYI – I don’t think I’ll be able to stretch this Wednesday 2/22. I had to reschedule a doctor appt and ended up that day @ 5pm. I remembered about stretch session after I made the appt 🙁 It’s with naturopath doctor and sometimes he makes appt longer than it should be. I will try to cut visit short.
