I first started my pole dancing journey this past September, and since then I’ve been doing strength training anywhere from 4-6 days per week. I did start with the 30 day take off and loved it! I’m a big girl and I started with very little strength and literally couldn’t do anything but a pirouette. A friend of mine on here suggested alternating days of strength training with days of learning spins and tricks so I find I really like that structure.
A typical week of mine would be
Day 1- Lower body training
Day 2- leaning or practicing new spins/moves. Day3- upper body training
Day 4-spins/moves or routine practice
Day 5-lower body
Usually there’s a day or two a week when I have to skip a day and rest. On average every time I train it’s only 30-45 mins but I’ve seen a lot of progress in 6 months so it works for me 🙂
