Yes! I just discovered Pole Parlour a couple weeks ago! I watched your episode this morning Veena! I loved it!
-
I am also enjoying the new search results layout!
-
Do you have a focus for tonight yet?
-
Have you tried contacting the manufacturer directly? They might know where/who (third party/retailers) might still have parts in stock if they discontinued the product…Probably still a long shot, but worth a try!

Ok, I got behind by two days while on vacation, but now I am done!!! I realized I wasn’t flexing in my “before” pic… So I made a collage. The before and after are on the bottom, any the one on top is me flexing!

Elbow grip Ayesha…I felt like my bottom shoulder was going to dislocate the first couple times I tried it

Just finished flexy but went back to day 8 to keep training. On the last few days of the take off. I travel a lot, so I often don’t get things done on time, but I love that the lessons let you know where you left off! I’m also in the middle of Veena’s ab challenge and the other ab challenge that’s all over the Internet! Taking a couple pole classes a week, and snowboarding whenever I can! It’s my favorite form of exercise, beating out pole by a very slim margin!! 😂
-
Just wondering how you’re doing!! And what you decided to use to start training!😊
-
Here is day 1 and day 17(I forgot to do it on 15)… My plan was to get them in the same place at home but I’m away at the moment! I’ll get it for day 30 though! I’m also doing the more conventional ab challenge with sit ups and crunches etc Bc my husband wanted to do an ab challenge but he didn’t want to do pole tucks haha 😜 There’s slightly more definition but nothing too noticeable yet! Still on track though!

Getting up can be easier than coming down because you can use momentum. I don’t know what your solid basic invert looks like. Are you kicking up or dead lifting your weight? Either way the strength it takes to come down slowly and in control is definitely greater, so don’t feel bad if you can go up but not come down yet! Have you done or seen Veena’s Ab Challenge? https://www.studioveena.com/forums/view/529fa5da-d154-4b47-9cde-67460a9aa0eb I highly recommend it! At least the “Roll ups” exercise, really focusing on coming down super slowly. You’re on the ground so it will take your neck out of the equation until your core is strong enough! And you can always bring your legs to the pole to get out of an invert while your neck is mending!
-
Do you have any grip aid? Like Dry Hands, Itac, Mighty Grip? And squeeze squeeze squeeze!! Your legs together
-
I would give the 30 take off a whirl. It has a lot of helpful tips on form and technique as well as really specific pole strengthening exercises!
-
I would say listen to your body, but Absolutely! I am doing the 30 day take off, 30 days to flexy, and going to a local pole studio at least once a week. The flexy series has a warm up/strengthening component to it so you’re not stretching cold muscles or putting too much strain on your joints! Give it a whirl and if you start feeling too tired or too sore doing everything you listed just back off! It’s really all about you!!
-
OH 😂 That’s probably not very helpful then! I thought you were buying your first pole!
I don’t know if they redesigned it, but I would think they would put out new videos about it if they had!
