Congratulations on purchasing an X-STAGE/X-STAGE LITE. They
represent a revolution in portable/free-standing podium stages and have
been designed for portability, ease-of-use and high stability. They are the
world’s first collapsible circular stages and feature both ‘Static’ and ‘Spinning’
modes as standard. The team at X-POLE have spent a significant amount
of time researching, designing and developing the X-STAGE. We want the
X-STAGE to be the world’s leading Exercise and Dance Podium, if it’s not;
we want to understand why not! At X-POLE we thrive on positive criticism
and suggestions! So contact us (details on the back cover) if you have any
comments or suggestions on how to improve the product.
Welcome
Mis-using a pole can be dangerous, not only to the user but also to anyone close to the pole. The use of a dance pole is
always at the user’s discretion, and it is the user’s responsibility to check the pole is assembled correctly & safely before use.
Pole Exercise is extremely physical and uses muscles that you will not have used before and therefore if you are not
warmed up; muscle damage, strains and injury can occur. Before using the pole it is mandatory to warm up and, after use,
cool down.
It is highly recommended that before you use your X-STAGE/X-STAGE LITE you review some online videos to learn the
basic moves. Never try moves beyond your ability without an instructor. If at any time whilst using your pole you feel
uncomfortable, your muscles hurt, or you are short of breath – take a break. Always rest between moves & exercise
sensibly, if you experience any health issues, seek medical advice. The X-STAGE is designed for use by a single person.
Have fun with your X-POLE X-STAGE / X-STAGE LITE.
The X-POLE Team.
Before using your pole
Clothing
When it comes to clothing – less is best (unless you have purchased a Silicone Pole). So try to keep your arms
and legs uncovered. Pole work needs the friction created by skin contact, so t-shirts, crop tops & shorts are
best. However, you must feel comfortable so wear what you feel relaxed in (tracksuit bottoms, etc.) even though
this may mean you are unable to do some of the pole moves properly because of grip. For pole clothing visit
WWW.XPOLE.COM
and select your region and look for the active range.
Footwear
Again comfort is essential. Bare feet (recommended), dance shoes, or trainers can be used but trainers have
high friction, so a trainer with a smooth as possible sole is recommended.
Oils and Lotions
NEVER use oils and/or lotion on your hands or body prior to using your pole. This is very DANGEROUS. The oil
can transfer onto the pole making it slippery and impossible to hold and this could cause you or someone using
the pole after you to have a serious accident. We recommend
