    Thanks for the advice!

    So I tried a spin and seriously BURNED my inner thighs even though my pole was SUPER SLIPPERY for my hands. I'm so confused haha.TH

    PS: You guys have been AMAZING- thanks for listening to me~

    Oooo good advice you guys!

    So question for all you pros. Should I wait to do spins until I have enough body strength to actually haul myself in those positions without the spin? For example, the attitude ankle spin. Should I actually be able to get my legs into those positions and hold it? Right now I can't, so does that mean I'm not ready for the spin?

    Thank you so much!

    I'm sooo happy to know I'm not alone haha. I'm in a class with beginners of all levels so it was really frustrating when a classmate was doing these gorgeous spins and I couldn't even get off the ground haha.

    Thanks so much guys!!!

    😀

    Will do- the lessons look GREAT so far.

    I really do like my studio but I think these vids are so much better at breaking down all the moves!!!

    Aww thanks everyone! Those were such nice comments.

    I actually JUST got the lessons and looked at the first couple spinning excercises and realized that I was wrapping my wrist around the pole and that was causing a LOT of my strain! I'm definitely going to try out those conditioning excercises.

    I also just realized that my spins are not well controlled and my legs feel really slippery while my hands are actually spinning fine. I'm taking a break for the day because I think I'm figured out how to do the spins without actually hurting my shoulder (I'm doing the shoulder back, chest up delio) but any advice on how to actually hook my legs so they'll stay instead of being all slippy slidey?
