Hi americandream. We're all doing Veena's 30 day take off program (and a couple are doing the ab challenge too I think). You need to have access to her lessons here on the site first before you can participate. It's a great way to progressively build up strength of you're a new poler, and a fun way to go back to basics of you're a more advanced poler or have been away from the pole for awhile or just want some guidance in your exercise routine. I can't remember what the code is but you can even get the lessons for free for 3 days to see what you think. :)

Day 5 done :)
I'd love to. I really need to work on my abs!!
Day 6 take off done. Will do abs at end of day when I do evening stretches.
Day 10 done. Adding some extra foam rolling for the legs just because it hurts so good!
americandream6620, you do need access to the lessons for the 30 day take off Program. This is a program to get dancers started again, either because they are new to pole or have been off the pole for a while. The Ab challenge is free. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4KzMIIbZH0
So wait what day are we on? I'm starting late but I'm going to catch up. My motivation for everything has been complete crap and even if I don't get stronger at least I can say I completed something.
Quite a few people are at the end of first week, some on week 2 and a few middle of first week :)
Day 6 complete. I am keeping up:)
Yay! Day 6 down. Man, do I feel strong! Plus, I finally have had a breakthrough in that pesky lateral epicondylitis that was slowing me down. You see, I had gone on a crochet binge a couple months ago, coincidently around the same time I took up poling. I did a little Myofascial stretch on my elbow and "pop", then instant freedom. That's what it's like when an adhesion breaks loose, my friends. :)

Day 6 done :) yeah almost a week !!!! ;)
Day 3 and middle splits done last night. Day 4 today and I'm glad I'm not as far behind as I thought. I'm trying to simultaneously work on flexibility so doubling up on program days just isn't feasible or smart but I'm still in it! Day 4 and back flexibility when I get home tonight; keep pushing everyone!
Woohoo, day 4 done. I'm catching up! I think I'll just do a day each day from now on. I know it's not quite at day 7 where I should be tomorrow but it's not far off. Maybe the next rest day I'll skip and do the next day so that I do actually catch up to where I should be soon!
Today is a rest day for (day4 & 6 are on my list for today) really the past month and half have been rest days! But I'm trying to incorporate some different exercise into my schedule, last night i rode my bike and did a back and shoulders yoga session, which ended with a meditation that zonked me out. Give my inactivity for too long and the first sight of a workout and I'm exhausted haha!!! Just taking the 30 day program as a guide to a new way of letting my body decide what is next. I will say I'm starting to miss my pole!!! If i can not incorporate strength training and conditioning into my life i won't allow a new pole in my home... giving myself ultimatums!! Glad everyone is plugging along and loving it;)
Day 7 - See ya!
Catch up day for me and so glad Its my day off. Going to walk the dog and get too it.
Ok I had soo much catching up to do. I'm on day 6 today so glad day 7 is rejuvenation day. Loving it! Definitely implementaing these moves and exercises into my classes. Have a great day all!
Day 8 REST awesome think I can handle that :)
I am taking rest day today. Had fab 1:1 today and got brass monkey from CAR and from shoulder mount! Will do abs as usual but day 7 is upper body stuff and I've trained 5 days straight: I have to take 48 hours out to let my shoulders biceps and forearms recover. I will switch things about a bit, and do upper body stuff on Friday instead, lower bod and core plus stretching is all good.
I'm doing both the 30 day abs and 30 day take-off. Today is day 8 and I can feel the difference in my abs and my strength. I really need this after taking a 4 month off pole. Thanks, Veena!

Week done yippie ;)
Still in the game! Good job everyone!
Woo week 1 complete! So glad it's a rest day today on the abs. I have to say I am noticing a little bit of a difference too. Have a great day everyone.
I'm a newbie. I'm on day 10 of 30 day TO and day 2 of abs. Thanks to this thread I now know about the ab challenge. Yay!!
Had work and school yesterday so days 5 & 6 today. So far behind but not giving up, I don't care if I'm on day 15 while everyone else is on day 30 lol (I don't plan to get that far behind, just saying)
