Arching your back can help, but making sure your not starting off too close to the pole can help a lot. You want a hips width distance or even a tad more, if your holding up real high on the pole you’ll smash into the pole. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif

If its just sore and not painful I’m sure you’ll be fine. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif If your still worried about it the next day talk to your DR. This spin is an advanced spin because It requires a lot of strength and good form. I would recommend working on pole climbs and other moves to help strengthen your shoulders for this spin, many ladies have injured themselves working on this spin too soon. I have placed this move under the intermediate category in my online lessons. Just because its a spin instructors teach it as a beginner move and student think they should be able to do it right away. Not true. I haven’t see you try the spin so I can’t tell you if your ready for it, but please be careful, shoulders are tricky things treat them well. Always hold them back and down when poling, never hang from the arm. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif Hope you feel better tomorrow https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

Learning on spin first, can make it harder to learn on static later….can but not necessarily. You can developed habits, using spin mode because it requires you to turn into the pole a lot (but not always) and then climb or get into a position. Soooo the problem that some run into is when trying static spins they have a habit of turning into the pole first and that can cause problems in proper technique for some static spins. One is not harder or better than the other but the technique is different. I think static is a better work out, if burning calories is what a person wants to do, because you need to use your body for momentum on static. Spin is more about holding the pose properly….which is also a challenge! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Its great to have you with us!! My youngest is now 9 months and love to hold the pole and lick it ewwww or sometimes he’ll sit and look down at the X pole bottom (because its shiny) and babble to the baby down there. Welcome https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Veena, so your body should be off to the same side as your higher hand?
Yes, if you doing the forearm grip that can make a big difference for you to feel more stable. So.. your not trying to do the forearm grip with your arm directly in front of you body line but to the side. Does that make sense? https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Well I’m glad your back! Cuts https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif on your legs? What the heck were they having you do?

How are you trying to go about doing it, from an elbow grip or forearm? Do you have a vid of yourself trying it? Here are some tips.
Soooo, caterpillar your booty way up, and slightly off to the side of the arm you’ll be gripping with, you DON’T want your body to be centered with the pole, you want to be off to the side (for the forearm grip) for the elbow centered it ok..now keep it there so your butt is out and away from the pole, your legs are making a 90 degree angle, an upside down L. Your lower arm ( the main one you push up into the Cat with) is straight and the other arm is either gripping in an elbow grip or forearm grip. I like the forearm but try both. Then slooowly keeping your knees bent…try to release them from the pole. You will have a slight arch to your back, because you have just come up from the cat and have the upside down L going on. Like your sitting in an upside down chair. lol If you can’t fully extend your legs into a V, its ok, just work on getting your balance first, by keeping the knees bent, and legs close to the pole, until your comfortable with your balance. Use a spotter if you can, or a ton of pillows, Keep it low to the ground, and to keep from tipping backwards…keep your legs moving toward the pole, don’t try to get them over your head, you’ll fall! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif I hope that make some sense. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

Hi, Welcome. As far as cameras go I don’t really like they way most web cams create vids. Most I have seen turn out kind of choppy. I have a great little video camera…I just got it and looove how easy it is to use, and how small it is!! Its called a Flip Video Mino HD. Love it, I did my latest vid, the Michael Jackson one with it and the quality is great, I think. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
