Hii ivy S! Thanks for posting here. Have you happened to try the stretch around minute 6 of the satellite tutorial? It might help you achieve this range of motion!

Friendly reminder about the Gym Program on the App! 💪✨

This is a structured gym program designed to improve your overall strength, flexibility, and balance—all with pole dancing in mind!

You’ll get 3 workouts per week for 12 weeks, followed by 2 weeks of systemic training (aka our “out of breath” weeks 😂). These cardio-focused weeks help make sure you’re not limited by endurance—whether you're in a hypertrophy phase or working through longer pole combos.

A new 3-month program is released regularly, so you’re always progressing.

Each workout takes between 30–60 minutes, depending on the weight and intensity you choose that day.

How do I know it’s perfect for polers? Because it’s built using both my pole-specific experience and the programming genius of @tiananicholetallant. We discuss the movement patterns and muscles we need most for pole, and then Tiana works her magic to create the workouts.

Curious but not sure? Give it a try for a month—no time commitments! 

P.S. We’re starting one of our 2-week systemic training blocks next week (June 2nd). Questions? Drop them in the comments below! 💬👇

Yayyyy go front leg—so straight and beautifully pointed through the ankle, babe! 😍 Quick question about the flexibility in the split overall—how often are you training active split drills these days?

Also, could you share how you got into this move? 🙏🏼

(And yes—untucking the tailbone will definitely help bring that back leg further, but I asked about the active flexibility because I’m curious what your current range is off the pole. That will directly impact how much range you can access onthe pole.)

Does that all make sense?

Hi Susan! A pole cartwheel—yay excited to help troubleshoot this one with ya! I have a lot to say about it, so I might send a video too, but here are some quick bullet points to get you started:

Try placing your hand closer to the base of the pole (I'll attach a screenshot to show what I mean).

Think of your top leg swinging up in a rainbow shape—keep it close to your body to help with active straddle compression.

Use a bit of momentum from your kicking leg to help lift off.

Let your head and torso drop down more—that’ll make it easier for your hips to go overhead.

Also, are you comfortable doing regular cartwheels on the floor?

jamimah yes!! that feeling of squeezing the knees will engage the very bottom of that quad muscle so thats a perfect thing to think about! good work babe!
