Hi friends! Since I originally made this video, a few things have changed: 1) I'm now an intermediate pole dancer, and as such, my training sessions have gotten longer and more frequent. I try to train 3 times a week for an hour (that time includes a long warmup!). 2) GRRRIP is now readily available on Amazon. 3) The mat seems to be completely out of stock forever, so I put a different suggestion in the description box. 4) The wonderful Poletato Jem just uploaded a video with similar tips for beginners, which is also linked in the box!

I would absolutely love if you could do a video that explains what your conditioning sessions involve, whether it's a quick overview or an in-depth 'condition with me'!

That would be super awesome!

Honestly with inversions: THEYRE HARD. and like Dr Emily Rosch says you don’t have to invert to be a great dancer. Progress isn’t linear, as you said. Some days I have an invert and some days my body is like “nah girl”. So I just condition instead. I remember getting SO MAD cos I could do a move at the studio but couldn’t do it at home. Every day is different and that’s okay too.

I love how real you are!

Thanks so much Kelsey, I love how inclusive you are of beginners 💖💖💖

What?! I can’t believe the instructor told you that unless you’re dying you need to keep going on with everyone else. 😵🤯 I’m not sure if that’s part of why you stopped taking in person classes but if so I can understand! I love how my studio encourages ppl to take as many breaks as we need and reminds us to drink water :) Love your channel! I just started my first level 3 class today I think it is intermediate, with upside down stufffff yaaaaaa)

That is definitely why I never returned to that studio :P Enjoy the upside down stuff! It's chaotic when you first start!!

Stopping before you get injured is actually a GOOD skill to have. You might faint in the air if exhausted... ! O_O

Love your videos! Could you share what your conditioning sessions consist of? And if you already have can you drop the link? 😊thanks ❤

I did just make a conditioning video! It was just a month or so ago, so it should be front and center on my channel page!

Can we have the link to your pole handbook?

I tighten the pole every 4-6 months, sort of coordinating it with big weather changes!

My routine seems wild now sometimes I go 5-6 days a week and do like a 6-8 hour session. Depression does get in the way so I’ll drop off for a few weeks and then break back into my routine by doing 3-5 days and doing 1-3 hour session😂 And I’m still only an average dancer like I’m not progressing 💀😂 so my routine just seems wild 😂 I should try and switch it up, been trying to progress for 3 years

It sounds to me like you're way overtraining yourself!! A training session that long is enough to drain you for a few days, but if you're doing several of those back to back to back, I don't think your muscles have enough time to recover!
