you got hurt from doing basic stuff on the pole? The best thing to do to strengthen your body for the pole is..poling lol. Or push ups, pull ups, pole-ups, sit ups, tricep dips, butt lifts, v-ups, leg lifts, ect ect ect phoenixmarcy has a video on youtube that shows all of her pole conditioning http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1z3K3hIFmPs

I have a full body work out in my online lessons here. Its perfect for beginners to work on strengthening their body for pole dance. 👍
This is normal. Most of my beginner students are sore and bruised after their first lesson, when all we do is a basic kate moss (a 360 step around the pole), a front knee hook and a fireman spin. Your arms will hurt fore sure, and you will definitely bruise. This is part of the territory. I looked like I had some ind of skin disease when I started poling - I bruised SO much! But the good news is this goes away with time as you get stronger, and as your skin becomes conditioned to the abuse (lol!)

Strength training is also great for building "strength" LOL.

Not to sound crude...but if you don't want to be bruised all the time then pole isn't the right sport! Even the best of the best sport new bruises from pole! Bruising and pole burn are common! I think Veena has some great conditioning exercises but I've always said that the best way to train for something is just to do it! Okay..sorry if this sounded a little bitchy...hehe I must be pms'ing! 😂
well thank you guys. i figured it out, i was using only my legs and not my arms at all to hold myself up 😳 last night i figured out to use my arms and i am not 1/2 as sore and i did like 3 different tricks 😛

:shock: i am new to pole fitness and have watched tons of videos of how to but i cant lol! my lega are bruised and sore, my arms hurt and i wasnt even doing anything crazy, just basic attempts. does anyone have any advice on some trcks that will strengthen my body to be prepared for the pole? i dont want to be bruised all the time ! i need help < pouting > 🙄 You're gonna bruise.... EVENTUALLY. With Every new pole more learned, a new bruise will come along. I'm a beginner too, and I bruised majorly doing fireman spins on my first tries. The next day? My arms were unbelievably sore. 15 days later, I now many spins....I'm hardly bruised, my muscles don't hurt at all. And yes, I practice almost everyday. I only have bruises on my inner thighs from sitting on the pole, So don't worry about it, your skin gets used to having contact with the pole, which means less bruises. The more you do a move, your muscles gains muscle memory which means, your muscles are just getting used to the strenuous work that its doing while holding certain moves. Keep this in mind: Every bruised you get, It's a new move learned. That's the way I see.
Aww I wear my pole bruises with pride! Lol. I am still a newbie and I've noticed the bruises are a lot less now on regular moves - new moves do create new bruises though! 🙂 -x-
