I had that happen to me once and it was the day after our wedding https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif I’m pretty sure it was from all the smiling and pretending to be happy and know a bunch of people who say their related. LOL I think stress can do it. For me I just relaxed and gently massaged the muscles around the jaw, it didn’t last too long for me but I was scary. So try relaxing first? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

Yes I do have strength exercises you can do in the lessons. Two good ones that work a lot of the major muscle groups are the pole up, and a push up. Shoulders are important to strengthen so he is a video I did a while back that will help with that.

Oh there are so many that come to mind. Do you have a fit ball? Those big exercise balls? If you get one of those there are soooo many exercises you can do with them for abs and more! I also have ab and back exercises in my online lessons. You want to make sure your working all muscle groups, exercising only the abs and not the low back can cause low back pain. So my 2 questions for you are… do you have a fit ball or the lessons? I can help you better if I know. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I have had this problem, it will go away with time. Remember you put a LOT of stress on your hands in pole dance and your hands have tendons and muscles too. As you learn how hard to grip it will get better. Just be sure you are warming up your hands and wrist well before dancing, I have cold hands all the time so it seems to take forever to get them warm, but if I skip warming my hands I pay for it the next day. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Awww Foxy….I’m sorry you had an off night! Your always welcome to share your pole woes with us. Take it from me EVERYONE has bad pole practice days. If the tricks aren’t coming to you that day well don’t stress, ( yes I tell you not to stress but it gets my panties in a bunch too! ) you had the right idea when you said maybe you should have just done some stretching. Your body knows when its had too much, and learning to listen to it, and not push can be a hard thing to do. I’m still working on that myself https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif
As for your friend, sounds like Rouge is right! Single people do tend to forget all the preparation that goes into going out for a mom. I’m guessing its just the combination of the bad practice, hubby and friend all getting you down at once. Cheer up! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I think your doing dandy https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
