I need to work in some lower body stretching…just not sure where to put it? It’s so hard, I basically work from 7am to 6pm everyday. I always stretch after any workout, but I struggle finding time to work flexibility to gain.

Well that’s awesome, you really are comprehensive in your lesson coverage. That’s always appreciated. I’m looking forward to finishing PT and starting the thirty day flexibility with some added focus on shoulder conditioning.

Once I start physical therapy and decide to start pole, I was thinking of doing the thirty day to flexibility and also pole strength and conditioning specifically the shoulder conditioning exercises. Any recommendations on how to structure strength with the thirty day flexy? I know conditioning is recommended after working on strength or dancing. Just looking for ideas so I don’t go too far.

Thanks everyone, I’m looking forward to physical therapy, and I’m hoping the therapist can help me come up with a plan of attack to strengthen my shoulders. I’m worried she will say no to poke fitness or not help me, bc of the Midwest mentality around here. As for the other stuff, I still haven’t heard from my brother. I’m organizing a memorial event for my friend and letting ppl know where they can donate money to help her daughter. I’m trying to use this period of inactivity to spend more time with my dad. And I basically took tomorrow off of work. I’m going to work on lower body flexibility tomorrow and walking in heels lol, just something to do.

Hey everyone! Old thread, but I recently created a fitness only IG, due to my regular IG being known by coworkers. I didn’t care that they knew, but apparently it was a factor in why I was overlooked for a position at my job. So, I created a new account that only my fitness pals know about. MY IG for fitness is polebravely, sorry if you were following sha_quiet, 🙁 I am still going to use sha_quiet, but not for pole, yoga, or other fitness anymore. For all that stuff, I’m using polebravely 🙂

I love kettlebells, but if you go that route I highly recommend getting training from a certified kettlebells trainer. The swing is the most difficult motion to learn and is like the foundation of most moves. If not careful you can really hurt the lower back and strain your neck. Also, use enough weight. I swing a fifty pound bell and started with a 25 pound bell.

p.S the climb lesson is in the beginner lesson section I believe
-
In the photo above the pole should prob be a little more up on my thigh away from the knee joint, but not much more
-
See I’m really squeezing between my legs and have some pressure on the top of my right foot, but not shin
-
You can kind of see where I press in my thigh, sorry it’s blurry lol I just did this, please enjoy my boxers

*left ankle/back of ankle-Ish

Do you have the Veena lessons? I think your points of contact might not be correct. I don’t use my shins at all. I’m right hand dominate, so when I climb, my right foot goes behind the pole. I press my right inner thigh close to the knee, but not on the knee, into the pole and it also goes across the top of my foot right foot/ankle-ish. My left ankle/top of foot comes around to the front to meet my right foot, and I lock into the climb by squeezing my knees Together, which takes the pressure off my ankles/top of feet. When I first started the tops of my feet bruised. Veena explains it the best. You should try with left leg behind and right coming to the front too. Even if you attend studio these lessons are awesome and helpful, and for 100 for a year or 79 if she has a deal it’s worth it.
