It’s always possible to increase your flexibility at any age! Have you tried using the stretching lessons here they’re meant for all levels! I’m not a natural back bender and didn’t start working on my back until I was 33.

There are lots of other stretches for the hamstrings you can do instead. However pregnancy isn’t the time to work on improving flexibility, because if the hormon “relaxin”. You will already have more flexi ness then before pregnancy so you could over stretch! It’s totally fine to stretch though, just avoid really going crazy with it and be gentile 🙂

I rent at the moment, and have put up many xpoles in other homes we've rented with no issues. As long as your ceiling isn't old an rickety or rotted and you follow the instructions to place the pole directly under the center of the stud, and tighten the pole properly it should be fine. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Ouch! It's probably fine just sore from over doing it. But if it doesn't improve soon see a doctor.
It's important to remember that spins are very hard on the wrist, elbows and shoulders, and most spins are not appropriate for new dancers. I'm not sure if your taking lessons here or elsewhere but I would suggest working on moves that build strength first, then move on to spins.
Rest and stay away from spins until it's healed Sending healing vibes. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I should also add that focusing on working the Transverse abdominal is best. To help avoid unnecessary issues with Diastatsis (abdominal separation) don't do heavy ab work like crunches or things that focus on the rectus abdominis (6 pack)
A lot of abdominal exercises can be modified and done against a wall. If you have the lessons you can do the Switch but standing against a wall instead of laying down. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Yep for the most part you can continue with what you were doing before you became pregnant as long as you have your Dr or Midwifes ok. One thing you should know, do not do any exercises that require you to lay on your back after the 1st trimester. Doing so will reduce blood flow to the baby.

Hi hml888, The TG lift is a professional level pole move. You might want to take a look at this blog before continuing to work on the TG lift. It may help put the trouble you're having with this move into perspective. Be kind to your body and live to pole another day. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gifhttps://stage.studioveena.com/blogs/view/5105b901-76b4-43c4-abf9-01a50ac37250

Try this link instead. http://dwd.wisconsin.gov/dwd/publications/wc/images/f5-8.gif

Lina, Usually just posting a link works best, not trying to use the picture button thing.
Anyway, this video might help you understand how your spine works. At 18 seconds it shows forward bending (flexion) after it shows backward bending (extension)

I wouldn't add anything to the mount. It's meant to screw right into the ceiling and stud.

You don't need to be scared of that. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gifThe joint makes the pole very sturdy, the xstage is the only stage I feel comfortable performing with. Its normal for poles to have some give in them, if that is what you are worried about. The only time I have felt a pole not give at all is a one piece, SHORT as in under 8ft, permanent pole.
