I disagree that dropping your body fat low is unhealthy, as long as you’re doing it by working out, building muscle, and eating to fuel your body. Think of professional athletes or dancers …no one would say they are unhealthy even though their body fat percentages are very low. They just are able to workout / be active for a greater percentage of the day compared to those of us with desk jobs or the like. Also, I thing its OK to try to strive for building the best/healthiest body that you can, including one with no belly fat! No, its not easy an it takes a lot I’d hard work and discipline, but that’s the whole point! If it were easy, it wouldn’t be so coveted. Just my opinion 🙂

I weigh 85 lbs. and I have one too, lol. it is my mortal enemy cause I have no fat anywhere else, so it does bother me, but like Veena said, it depends on how much I’m working out or what I’m eating…. I think you have to get your body fat % down pretty low to get rid of it, like a fitness model…. Which I’m sure is not an easy feat, but it gives us something to strive for, right? 🙂

I did the P90X program, and initially I could only do 1 or 2 but I worked my way up to about 10. I actually find the ones with my hands closer together easier (maybe because when you hold the pole and pull up on it, the hands are next to each other?)

I pulled (ripped?) mine trying to do the splits. I got into them and then heard a loud pop! It took about 6 months or so to completely heal. I hardly did any stretching initially, and when I started I had lost a lot of flexibility, but I kept at it and now it’s even better than before. My ex-dancer husband said ripped hammie’s are “part of being a dancer” Lol, but I don’t think that’s good thinking either. Just know it will heal but it will take a while.

I am a full time ultrasound technologist at a high risk maternal fetal medicine office. Can’t even begin to tell you all the crazy stories about pregnant women! Lol
I am also an Occupational Therapist but only every so often I do that.

I am at the same point! Guess just keep practicing at it and like all the other things it will come? That’s what I keep telling myself anyway, lol.

I would suggest maybe practicing each move by itself first and making sure you are comfortable holding each move (each part of the combo) for ~ 5 seconds+. Then try just one move into the second move. And then add the 3rd move when you are comfortable with doing the first 2 moves in succession.
Just probably how i would go about doing it!

More votes for Zoraya, David, and Karol!

She was my inspiration too!

Oh and I am a fan of PS, have had bad experience with the X Pole I had, and I still don’t think there is any bias, and thought the video was painstakingly fair!

Ok, I have been reading all this (starting with the last post she started) at first with some amusement, but now with just shock at how rude Payton is.
I propose we move on. We get it Payton – you don’t like X Pole, you think this site is biased, blah,blah,blah. No one cares or wants to hear you whine about it. If you are so distressed by this, stop coming on this site!

Ooh, good question! I’d like to know too…in case I ever get the nerve to post anything, haha

I got the gloves, but I didn’t really like them. They dug into the spaces between my fingers and I didn’t feel as secure with them as I did without them because my hand moved in them a bit. I know they say to use another grip aid before putting on the gloves, but I just prefer the biofeedback I get from my bare hand on the pole. I haven’t really had problems with ankles, knees, or inner thighs, but aside from initial pain/bruising with new moves, I think your body just has to get used to the pressure of the pole.
-
cool…. will definitely have to try that!
