thanks Veena. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif yes i have it to the side of my spine and am putting my head as low as possible while pressing my back against the pole. i know i have the strength, but even when try to do pencil from bow & arrow, i just feel like i am going to fall to 1 side. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif
i guess will just have to keep trying. frustrating as can be, https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif but am sure it will eventually click. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_idea.gif -
ya it was such a blast! took some time to warm up to the idea of getting on stage, but once i touched that pole, it was freakin on! LOL i like to say i am not going to die wondering. do it. people usually regret more what they didn’t do than what they did. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

i have also been thinking of getting a stage or stand alone for some time, but am so confused as which to get. am just going to oreder a 45xpert reg pole for now ( my 3rd xpole). i am loyal to x, but obviously want something safe and user friendly. thanks for the in-depth reviews https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gif

ok so yes i would agree about going to your doctor just to take some blood test and make sure it’s not an underlying medical condition.
now energy- i work 2 jobs (10 shifts in 5days) so i know about making the most of energy
B vitamins are very important as well as iron ( your doc can tell w blood test if you are deficent in either)
stay hydrated – almost impossible to feel energized when dehydrated ( caffiene like sugar will only gve you a short term boost followed by the crash)
try to go to sleep and wake up about the same time everyday as much as possible to get your body on a sleep cycle
warm bath follwed by strecthing helps ( as your body temp drops you should start to feel more drowsy)
splash cool water on face and pulse point ( wrists/inner elbows, neck) this should refresh you
get moving. do squats /jumping jacks/dance whatever for a few minutes. you will get the blood circi.ulating better as well as raise your heart rate
eat plenty of protein (nuts are great as get protien, good fats, and b vitamins. oh and minerals!)
avoid heavy meals better to eat more frequently but smaller meals
don’t go more than 3hrs w/o eating something. piece of fruit, string cheese, yogurt ect
try to be as organized as possible so not wasting time/energy looking for things ecttake breaks througout the day. take a quick walk, daydream, read a magazing or whatver for a few mins here and there so your not running all day
lemon and other citrus scents as well as peppermint can help wake you up a bit
hope this helps !

well thank you for all your help https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
i will probably try this sat at class, but will see what my body is up for. hopefully will nail it sat. but if not, soon. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/bom.gif -
not sure if this was already said, but really opening your legs as your flipping over helps rather than sort of falling into it. i think some people call that sort of pose the "TAMMY" it will hurt alot for awhile, but what your saying sounds like you just need to get your inner thigh away from the pole a bit more as your flipping so its not against the pole to drag just opening legs wider as you get into it should help. if you watch leigh ann orsi you tube vids she really opens her legs as she goes into it so thats’s a good example of what i mean. hope it gets better for you!

still looking to get a new 45 x-pert but when went to vertical dance it looked like the shipping was 500$!!! 2x more than the actual pole! can that be right? where else could i get 1? hmm.. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_question.gif

thank you, i think i am going to try it from an ext butterfly. maybe at class this week so can get a spotter. have never used one and have been poling 2 yrs! i am very eager to get it, but i know when to say no so will ease into it and see how i feel. balance would be more of the issue. is there anything i should know to never or always do? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

wel thanks! ok as far as split grips i learned sg aysha before forearm grip , but than started doing forearm grip all the time and now don’t feel comfortable w Sg aysha anymore (thats what i get for neglecting it) but i fel very comfortable w sg for butterfly, ext butter, ceiling stand ect i can cw and hs into butterfly and than into aysha, but can’t just flip right up. ok so will start working on getting re-aquianted w the sg aysha and than ask for a spotter when that feels natrual again. i really don’t think strength is going to be an issue, but balance worries me..well thanks for the help! i appreciate it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

seems like this topic never gets a response, but will try again anyway. just wondering if anyone knows of any vids or forums where i can get some help w jacknifing off the pole ( not kicking up into it) from a butterfly or whatever. saw it done at class but still not totally sure of the exact steps to do itright. ANY help would be appreciated.

ya i don’t think pics are allowed, but i am not sweating it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif life is too short to worry about what others think. if a pic did show up on the front door of my job, my response would be and has been "So??" https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif this is my private life and as long as what i am doin is not illegal or in direct violation of an agreement, i will strip, skinny dip, and do whatever else pleases me. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_queen.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
spent way too much of my life trying to make everyone else happy or comfortable while i watched life pass by. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif not anymore baby! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif LOL it is a nice feeling when a guy comes up to you who is dressed ( i https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_study.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_shaking2.gif didn’t strip) and tells you your beautiful and he would rather watch you dance than girls just walk around w/o clothes. i was thinking seriously?? me? not the model looking girl w the perfect body? it was just really memorable..
