shariya · 2012-07-09T12:23:14+00:00

I was just wondering what are your pole workouts like?? How often do you guys pole? Do you go to a studio or just use Veenas lessons? What other types of workouts do you do to improve your pole skills faster? I'm getting my pole back up some time this month hopefully and am super excited and am trying to plan out my workouts and figure out other things I can do so I can improve on the pole much faster!!! So any comments will be appreciated thanks guys :)

Training routines now for a comp (!!) So I'm poling 3-5 days a week, I usually start with a quick warm up then get right into my list of tricks or moves I want to work that day. Once I get frustrated with my lack of trickyness, I work on some freestyle dance transitions and try to come up with soething unique. At the end I run routines (or what currently exists of them) for stamina and flidity. I end with flexibility when I'm warm. I like to add pointe work into my warm ups some days or do some vertical barre. I also do silks 1-3 times a week, and lyra 1-3 times a week. Also have been doing yoga at home 1-5 times a week and ballet beautiful, and the regular gym 2-3 a week. ...whew! Amazing that I'm still overweight right?

Hmm this might explain why I'm so slow to progress if everyone's pole schedule is like you guys! I only pole twice a week - 1.5hrs on a Monday and 3.5 hrs on a Sunday and then I stretch 1hr every Thursday. I'm focusing on freelance work outside of my full time job though so pole is on the back burner... I don't usually up the training unless I havr a competition coming up. I'm happy with this schedule, I don't feel the need to exercise everyday and my body isnt suffering in any way :) am in awe of those who practice every day though, your fitness level must be through the roof!

Shariya, if you're looking for a no brainer pole workout routine you could try our 30 day Take Off Program! It's part of the lessons and gives you 30 days of instruction, telling you exactly what to work on even on rest days, including stretches and conditioning work. It's a great way to build strength and learn more about how to structure your own pole workouts! 🥂 This video explains a bit more. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4KzMIIbZH0&list=UUup79MtZnWP_SCAHeVlmzdQ&index=9

how do you guys fit these hours in? Do you not work full time or do you just wake up super early? I assume it'd be exhausting to do a two hour workout after a nine to five.

@Athena30 - I fit in a workout, pole or other stuff, just like I fit it showering or brushing my teeth. It's part of my lifestyle on top of my 9-5er and sidework clients. @Shariya - I pole 4 days a week which includes 3 2-hour in-studio inversions class, 2 1-hour classes of open pole, and one flexibility class. The other 3 days consist of some type of cardio, like flywheel (spin) class, yoga, gymnastics, ballet, or the SV videos. I like the variety outside of pole. I rest on days when I need to...that's very important.
