Pole Dancing Mistakes

I was once new to the dance pole and after 4 years I would like to say I have some pretty good experience. I see newbies make the same two mistakes over and over. If you can bypass these two no no’s your pole will take your self confidence and your fitness level to places you haven’t imagined.

Pole Dancing will increase your fitness level more than you can imagine I know this through firsthand experience. Most women need to work on upper body strength and a lot don’t want to use weights. With the pole you use your own body weight and tension and it creates those long, toned, lean muscles that so many women seek in their arms.

Use Your Core and watch the magic happen. There are so many people out there who forget that the abdominal muscles are the source of our core strength for just about everything. Be really aware when using the pole that you are stabilizing yourself and moving from your core muscles. If you really isolate them you will see results in about three weeks.

So what are the mistakes you ask?

Mistake number 1, miss this idea and you should just stop now!

At the risk of sounding trite or cliché I will lay it on the line. HAVE FUN! That is what pole dancing is all about. First and foremost you should be doing this for yourself and you should love it. Once you start having fun and letting yourself go and enjoying the endorphins will flow and time will fly. You won’t desireto come off the pole. When you are having so much fun you don’t want to stop that is when calories are burned and bodies are changed.

I don’t say this lightly. I see the people who are just letting go and having a blast come back again and again and practice at home. The ones that get inside their heads and judge themselves or others aren’t enjoying the moment and they end up stopping before any progress is made. Make this your time and have a ball, we all need more fun in our lives.

Mistake number 2, Make this mistake and you may have a broken leg…

If you are having a blast pole dancing and getting exercise, and you will then you will want to get a pole for your home. I can’t recommend this enough. For a one time investment you will have an incredible piece of fitness equipment that will last you the rest of your life. What I say to you on this note is invest wisely. Most poles aren’t returnable for hygiene reasons. There are all sorts of poles on the market but there are really only one or two worth investing in. Don’t go cheap on the pole. Just go to YouTube and watch the bloopers video and you will know why it isn’t worth being a cheapskate. I have seen it take place many times. Get the right pole the first time around.
