Your Weekly Challenge(s)!

✨Week of Aug 19th: Stargazer Tutorial with variations & a fun exit!

✨Week of Aug 26th: REVIEW WEEK (stargazer, jade, leg hangs, and if you're really feeling creative, try making a combo that includes stargazer AND jade!)

Requirements:

  • Click "Join"

  • Because there are different levels included in this challenge, you do not need to mark all videos as "watched". However please follow the other requirements

  • Comment on this post with a picture (screenshot is fine) of something from your training this week (it can be anything... a move from the challenge, a screenshot from a flexibility or gym session, etc).

  • Share a picture or a video on Instagram and tag @stephanietallant_pole and #thebestpoleapp

Each month, there will be one randomly selected winner chosen amongst all members who complete the weekly challenge at least TWICE during the month! August's winner will be announced at the end of this two week challenge! Winner receives a discount on their next invoice 😍

SAFETY: There are different levels included in these challenges. Please approach new moves safely. Use a crash pad if you have it or if you have a trusty spotter, that's great too. I want you all to be safe, that's my #1 priority :)) If you're unsure about the prerequisites to the moves, please feel free to ask that question in the Community Feed ("Hey Steph. I really want to try XYZ, but not sure if I should. What are some of the moves I should have before this?) and I can help you determine if a move is appropriate for you to try!

jamimah yes the bottom arm does take a lot of pressure (but it’s going to feel like it’s taking a lot more if the forearm is not fully connected to the pole). The top arm should be working just as hard as well… make sure you’re engaging the bicep and really dripping the inside of that leg. There’s a lot of things happening in this move, so another thing to take note of is the responsibility of the upper back, try to pull your chin away from your chest and think about your spine being arched like a “cow” position in yoga. Update meeeee ❤️

Sharon Czarnek Susan Papp Mlodzienski vortex video :))
Tips:
- it’s important that if you’re right arm is the inside arm (the one wrapping around the pole), your LEFT leg is in front for your climb (or vice versa)
- After hands are clasped, the back leg slowly straightens, both legs still squeezing into the pole, and hips are pressed forward
Susan Papp Mlodzienski your setup was on point in your video. Have you tried to straighten your legs?
Sharon Czarnek let me know if you try!!
Other members seeing this, have you tried vortex? Do you like it? Let me know in the comments!!
