    Oooh I'm currently studying medicine….few more months to adding a 'Doctor' title to my bachelor of science one 😀 !!!

    Medicine doesn't leave much free time for pole-ing and it won't get any better…waiting to earn enough to get a pole to fix up at home.

    Happy pole-ing everyone xxx

    Started poling on and off since sept 2011 and started stretching for splits round about dec that year. I had no stretch routine, just attempted ‘splits’ whenever I fancied – managed to pull something in my right thigh – now it clicks 🙁
    March 2012 realized my hips weren’t squared and back knee was facing out instead of facing down to the ground, so looked up splits stretching videos on YouTube and came across one by emotioncatcher.
    3 days ago, started a proper gym workout session (cross trainer or bike for at least 20min) followed by proper stretching. Managed to get down to the floor on day 1 😀 !!
    Can only so splits (side) when I’m nice and warm bur ah well, practise makes perfect.

    Is it possible to someday drop into splits without this much warming up??

    Goodluck everyone xx

    Ps. I’m fairly flexi to begin with and before starting my proper routine, was already couple inches from the ground both side and middle splits.
