How’s it going? Leave a comment below, I’d love to hear from you.

After some shoulder conditioning it’s time to work on Pole sits again. If you have these down, remember to focus on things I mention in the Veena’s tips. Relax your shoulders, point your feet, try sitting with the legs in different positions.

Responses

  1. It’s pretty common for it to feel that way. Factors that contribute are over thinking, figuring out technique, and where you are in your cycle.

  2. It’s going well. Pole sits are so much easier than when I started. I can hold for quite a long time if my body stays warm. I’m always cold. Since my sits went well I played around with a forearm sit and scared the life out of myself.

  3. The pole sits have gotten easier and less painful for me. It seems to take doing them a lot, I think. I was so not in the mood to do the lesson I was on today, and while spinning in a sit, I figured out the thing where you put your arm in front of the pole and let go a bit. I had to spin to do that, though. So great when you are not really wanting to get started, you do something anyway, and figure out you can do something you didn’t think of really trying before! These lessons give me a boost because I like seeing progress, too!

  4. Hi Veena, it’s going well. I’m curious if I should be trying to do pole sits on both sides or if it’s okay that one leg crossed and one hip up in particular is most comfortable. Thanks!

  5. Yes, both sides for everything if possible. It’s ok to have a preferred side but always work on both, if pole is your main source of exercise. This will help keep things in balance.

  6. Loving this course. Thank you so much. I find my pole sit feels good if i stick my leg out, but both legs bent I find it goes right to the top of my inner thigh and the jiggly fat I have BURNS. Trusting the process though. I know repetition will reveal all!

  7. Petunia, your body isn’t in the way, it’s just guiding you into the best position 🙂 We’re all different and everyone of us ends up needed to accommodate our bodies in some way. You don’t have to do spin pole ever if you don’t want. It’s just an option if someone would like to try.

  8. The shoulder conditioning routine really burns but I can keep up! Grateful for that. I know my muscles are getting stronger. Unfortunately when I tried the pole sits, I immediately became aware that I had put lotion on not that long ago. Uggghhh 😩 lol, Lord….I was able to do a smidge better than my last try so I’m grateful for that. Next time I’ll remind myself about the lotion 🙄. Thanks, Veena! Your pole sits are so beautiful. I can’t wait until mine begin to look like that.

  9. Glad you had a good workout 💜 Ugh, lotion. Last night we were at a friend’s Birthday and they wanted me to dance. I had put lotion on that was “meant” for pole…it was so slick. I was not happy with that product. 😕 still had fun tho.

  10. Pole Sits still burrrn, BUT. I managed to let go of my hands today. Not for long, but I did it. 💕 Love your positivity in your videos (and community) too, thank you! I can’t wait to continue

  11. I really appreciate these short classes, they are excellent for people who have a ton of other things to do but can still get there work out on. Makes me feel like I accomplished something😊! I also like how you brought the pole sit back from the previous lesson, enabling us to hone that skill a little more without having to back track lessons.

    1. It really depends on the person. Another factor is where you are in your menstrual cycle. The closer to your period the less tolerable pain is. It definitely does get better 💜

  12. Finally secure with a one-handed pole sit. Better leaning to one side than another, and better with extended legs crossing at the ankle than bent legs crossing at the knee. Hoping to have a fully secure no hands pole sit with both varieties by the end of the month–that’s my goal!

  13. Wow! can’t believe how much my thighs have hurt less and adjusted to the bruising and friction of the pole more in just a couple weeks. !! Ice and heat definitely goes a long way too 🙂

    1. Probably nothing 💜 often times it just takes longer to get one side to feel like the other or I should say to behave like the other. My biggest suggestion is to take video so that you can look back and see how things are different is the angle you’re leaning at different. Are you sitting back further is a pull further up on the thighs further down on the thighs are you crossing your legs differently if you want help, feel free to send me a link that is shareable so I can watch and give feedback.

          1. You can still pole sit by keeping the top peg in place as you were it’s just going to feel different and require a different position which is why it felt so confusing.
