hi. wondering if poling will help with abs..ie toning etc. I am a beginner and I totally love it. --> still only able to do the fireman, a mini-cradle, carosel etc and other basic moves. Anyone use pole dancing to help tone their mid-section and the results? Thanks! Emily

Heck yes poling will help tone your abs!!! It tones pretty much every part of your body. 😀 We were having an ab discussion in one of the other topics here somewhere, can't remember where... 🤔 I think it's in Pole Moves and something about an Aerial Invert and Chopper... Glitter started the thread. But the jist of the conversation was to work on strengthening your abs, try doing your basic invert without kicking up - just lift your legs up to the pole. Same with the regular from-the-floor chopper. Shoulder mounts take an incredible amount of ab strength, so when and if you can do it, a few of those in a row will be a full workout for your tummy. I added a question to the thread asking if a shoulder dismount would work on abs, but the general consensus was to be able to know how to do the mount first... much to my disappointment because I'm not strong enough to do it yet! But do some more poking around the forums here and you'll find abs are a very frequent topic so you'll find a wealth of information here. But still don't be afraid to ask! 😀

Pole dancing is the best core and upper body workout I have found. I've never had the kind of definition I'm getting in my abs before. I would have a six pack if my body fat was lower! You bet it'll tone your midsection! Fleur

Yes yes yes. Pole will work your abs! And if your lacking in abdominal strength you will know it when you start pole dancing. Its great!! 👍
