What a fantastic blog! I’ll have a better look in more detail later today but its really interesting! I too wish I cud hold pole parties but alas think I’ve got a way to go. I’ve been self teaching, took class for a month but my teacher was into the kicking into inverts thing…after seeing online it wasn’t the proper way, I decided to teach myself haha

Wow thanks everyone for sharing! It's really great to see the variety and the dedication that everyone is giving to poling! (espcially @coatcheckgirl waking up at 5:30 to do studioveen workouts!!! 😀 ) and @Miraine showing that you can make progress even if things get in the way of practising.
All of the routines shared are definetly going to help me get a little more serious with mine and I hope that reading everyone's espcially Veena's(!!!!!!) helps everyone else with their pole routines as well!! 🙂
I was going to sloth out with a sunday dinner and a movie but I think noe i'm going to do some ab training and also a bit of flexibilty work to finish my Sunday off! Thanks EVERYONE for the inspiration!!!!! Happy Poling!

@Runemist34 – Hey! Sorry to hear about your troubles! Hope it’s getting better at least! Thanks for the sharing your routine though…I’ve heard that some people just do a light dance to help them warm up, I always want to do that but I’m so scared off pulling something so I always do the old school stretching as well. What kind of light spins do you do? Like the fireman etc?
Strength training can be a bit of a killer – it always tires me out and then I find that the chopper I did perfectly at the beginning of my workout is now the hardest thing in the world!! Hahaha
@Vaudeville ahhh great! I’ve only been poling since April so it’s brilliant to hear how ALL different levels are practicing!! 🙂 I really like your schedule, very disciplined!!! How do you find it? Have you noticed much improvement? I was a lot more disciplined when I first began and the result (after overcoming a couple of pulled muscles and bruises haha) was great! Even now I’m surprised by how much stronger my body has gotten! 🙂

haha that just shows you how confused I was getting…my right leg will stick but my left one won't 🙂

I have a TG xpert, they use tension on the ceiling and floor and you have to have a sturdy joist in the ceiling to make it stay, so I’m not sure that it would be alright in a mobile home. Your best bet would be to contact lil minx and xpole customer service 🙂

@Briannabohannah, I really want to invest in those mighty grip gloves….which ones do you use and is your pole static or spinning? On the Pole Dance Heaven website it says that: Non-Tack Gloves are recommended for those moves on Stationary Poles / Non Spinning Mode. AND Tack Gloves (Shiny Finish) are recommended for the Spinning Poles or to stabilize the hands when learning more difficult moves.
And because i have an xpert xpole im now confused which one I should get because I dont really want to have to buy both :S your advice would be really appreciated 🙂

Can’t wait till I get that good 🙂

I’m in the UK and have a TG xpert, the gold has faded on the top section of the pole and the xjoint kept twisting, however I contacted xpole and they are sending me the replacement parts asap. Can’t fault their customer service and the pole is great, really sturdy and the spinny option is excellent
