    I don’t use wrist support often but I bought some of the wrist wraps to try and didn’t care for them. For myself I was looking more for support of the wrist joint (the wraps go above the joint) so I prefer to use a good old ace bandage. I buy the kind that stick to its self. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Glad I could help Cazacat! Legs4Days, when I broke my foot I took the opportunity to focus on upper body training. By the time my foot was healed I was then able to hold and Iron x because of all the time I had put into only upper body. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Hi Passion Poler! As everyone mentioned it's totally normal for a move to come and go. Frustrating, but normal. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Sorry about your hand!

    You could buy some wrist weights (I know they’re not usually super heavy) but you could do lying chest flies, lateral, rear and forward shoulder raises, bent over rows, lying or overhead triceps.

    This would be a great time to focus on core and improving your strength and lines of the Lowe body!

    Hi ๐Ÿ™‚ regardless of your level you want to start at the beginning of the lessons. This why you’ll understand the progression and build the strength you need. The 30
    Day Take Off is a great place to start!

    I read it, she's said to have had friends who've tried pole dance, but if her only visions of pole is grinding, then I would wonder where her friends went! I don't know of too many legitimate studios that teach you first to grind on a pole, bodywaves, yes, grinding, hmmm, not so much. 

    I will also add, and this might be a surprise, I'm tired of the word empowerment being connected to pole (I used it too). However, now I say….Be fit, Be sexy, Be Confident, forget the E word it's time for the B word! LOL That was sooo cheesy! But anyway, using the term "empowerment", still sounds like we're making excuses for enjoying pole dance or that somehow it will make women themselves more widely accepted!! Which is silly because we rule the world. lol Using the E word is as if we are trying to change peoples opinion of pole. In reality you can't change OTHER people, so it should only matter how Pole makes YOU feel! For me it's fit, sexy and confident!! Just BE! I'm much better at expressing myself through dance then words so I hope you get the idea. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Take a peek at the lesson description and it tells you how often. You can foam roll whenever. Also start by wath in the Getting Started lesson for both the foam roller and stretching section. ๐Ÿ™‚ enjoy your roller!

    You'll need to do strength work more than once a week if you want to see gains. If you take a look at the descriptions for each lesson you'll see how often I suggest doing them. Also be sure you're going in the order I have the lessons presented, always starting with the Getting Started Lesson. In addition to that, you'll want to work on the conditioning lessons as well. 

    Have you tried the 30 day take off program? I tell you exactly what to do for 30 days.

    Hi Morganriley, What else are you doing besides pole holds and pole ups? Have you added in other strength and conditioning work specifically for shoulders, forearms, and hands?
