welcome and glad to have you onboard for pole journey!
-
I love this idea! I plan to order soon to have for next event I'm able to attend, or pole jam or studio I attend. hmmm, I wonder if my hubby would wear one when he goes with me 🙂

tarah, have you used WMM for editing or did you try Videopad? Thanks.

I wish I would have kept mine. I had so many 45's, would have been fun to have. You wouldn't believe the first song I bought for a little record player I got for Christmas when I was around 10 yrs old! Couldn't believe I found it on amazon.com. Thanks for age support, my dear veneers, haha

Do you mean first song actually ever bought. My first song was a a kid on a 45 record. Does anyone even know what that is, as most are so young 🙂 I even remember the song, ugh! It's from the 60's and I found it on Amazon, OMG

Welcome! As you can probably tell, you'll love it here 🙂
One thing I need to keep remembering is we all progress at different levels, even with the same moves/tricks/spins.
I realized that focusing on one or two things at a time helps strength and accomplishment, instead of trying too many things at once.
Warming up for me is also something I make every effort to (especially since I've injured myself due to not warming up).
Also hope you can get veena's lessons, they are wonderful; however, make sure to go as much in order as possible.
Again, welcome!

I was also going to suggest Shelly's studio if Poletential does not work out. I met her when she won 2nd at USPDF West Coast 🙂

Poletential!!

OMG, I wish I lived in the area to attend!!! If anyone has a chance, take advantage of it.

Welcome to the veneer world!!

I’m kinda the opposite with hubby. In the beginning we both knew I didn’t know what the heck I was doing, so he witnessed from beginning to now. He saw the fumbles, stumbles, awkward & painful attempts, etc. He even spotted me a lot and helped me off the pole when I got stuck. So now, he is impressed and comments on how I’ve improved, what moves are nice now in comparison to when I first started, etc. As for the pole "dance" part, I’m not good at it so I do have difficult time doing any of that in front of him, or even when I’m by myself https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif We have it in mind that I’m doing pole for fitness so it’s easier to include him. When I attempt dance stuff, we just crack up.
As others said, it gets easier, but also nice to have "your" pole time.
As for dizziness, glad I read this post and will try spotting, cuz the dizziness is just too much for me, and I’m still doing pretty much basic spins; forget spin mode! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

Gals, unfortunately, I might need to inform it’s not available after all https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif I’m so sorry and feel horrible!!! I’ll update for sure next week, but wanted to let you know in case.
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_ncool.gif This is how I feel, not cool. Again, if it’s not available, I apologize.

Yay! I’m not the only one!
I *hate* this TG Xpole. Hate it terribly! I am having to re-learn everything I do. I can’t even do the most basic spin on it. Even when I do manage to get a grip it leaves awful callouses on my hands. My thighs are covered in horrible pole burn and no matter how much I squeeze or shift my weight, nothing helps.
I can’t move with this pole either…my body just wont wrap around it and it feels so un-natural. I’ve been poling for a while and have never, ever felt this discouraged.
How long have you had the TG xpole? Is it x-pert (spinny)? I’m asking cuz I got my TG xpert around September this year. I’m not that experienced, probably beg/interm poler, but struggled with my lil mynx ss long enough. I was just as frustrated and thought I made a major mistake getting the TG. However, I stuck with it and really like it now. I’m able to accomplish more than on the ss and had to learn to adjust grip, etc.
I believe spins are tougher with it, veena and other advanced polers can give advice in that area. I do basic spins on it now and again. I tend to be on the lazy side when it comes to spins.
My body looked and felt like I got beat up within the first couple of weeks and thought how do I tell my husband this isn’t going to work. He gave me $$ to get it for my bday. After much agonizing, I had no choice but to stick with it and I don’t think about looking into chrome anymore.
I hope it works out for you as time goes by.

OMG, WHERE to begin!!! I remember…
going to an introductory class and thinking "yeah, right!" and having the deer caught in headlights look with every new move to attempt!
the superman took forever and MUCH pain…
aerial invert was a move for all the other polers (still need to improve it), but it’s getting there…
beginning the caterpillar and caterpillar climb were like, what the heck!…
the shoulder mount was no where near my pole-to-do list, now I’m in beginning baby steps and am on my way to getting it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
Maybe next year I can say I remember when handstand was no where on my list (just have a MENTAL block)
EDIT: My pole hubby says "I remember when she used to wear her wedding ring"
Sorry, thought of another one…I remember when I said "I could NEVER post a video of me poling!!!" https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gifList can go on and on, so thankful for all of the veeners, you have all made my pole journey fun and exciting. I am amazed at how our pole community is so supportive, encouraging, friendly, funny (glitterhips!) etc, etc.
THANK YOU V, FOR THIS SITE!!! AND WEBMASTER https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumright.gif
