Wow, massive massive thank you to you ALL for coming here, reading and responding. I feel a thousand times better already.

Today, I have cleaned the pole. I have also been online and found some grip aid, (it never harms eh!). I haven't been back on the pole much as such… I feel very achy and all seems a bit daunting. But I have read everyones replies and have just purchased the first 30 days of Veenas lessons. I have decided against doing anything today and starting the routine tomorrow night when the little ones are in bed. I will do each days lesson every day for the next month and see how I am by the end of that, then purchase the next lesson batch and so on 🙂 Feeling a little more pole-enthusiastic now.

My pole was on Spinning Mode, I've just switched it to static, and am hoping that will help out a lot too. Just one last question for you all who have taken Veenas' lessons…. I've skipped through them all just to see what I'm likely to be doing within the next 30 days and wondered if any of you had got to the lessons where you're doing spins and holds, climbing etc, and found you couldn't do them on the day of that lesson? I am worried about this, and also unsure about if/when I cross that problem, do I keep re-practicing that lesson until it works, or keep moving on through?

 

Thanks ladies, what a BRILLIANT supportive community you've all got here. So glad to be a part of StudioVeena ! 😀 😀

Thank you so much Sasha for your response. My arms ache really badly todaay, dont know if thats a bad thing or a good thing, showing that they are getting the muscles there worked. I will look out for some Dvds and grip aid. I heard Dry Hands was really good for pole dancers.
I also find I cling into the pole, almost afraid to pick my feet off the floor at times, hope this gets easier with practice. Taking my hat off to all you pole dancers – it's nowhere near as easy and effortless as it looks 🙂 xx
