Practicing spin mode – getting really sick /:
Well, anyone who has an X-pole have sure tried the spinny mode. And gotten really sick xD Does anyone have any advice on how to avoid getting so sick when you pole on spinny? Or do you just have to practice being sick? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif

I don’t know Dolly. Maybe you could try some of those motion sickness meds? LOL
I wonder if that stuff would help?
Someone else posted about getting sick on spin too, but I can’t remember who or when it was or what answers they got…

I use to get really sick too, I still have to be careful. Keep it slower and controlled at first and it really helped me to work on only upright moves….don’t start off with inverting on spin, this made it worse for me. Do a trick or two, then get off and do some floor work, then try a trick or to again. The worst thing I found was to try move after move https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_r.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_r.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_r.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_r.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_r.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_r.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_r.gif

spinning in both directions helps relieve some of the dizziness! but it really comes down to practice…the more you do it the more accustomed your body and your ears get!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I was absolutely no help in this thread at all. LMAO! I just read over my post like, "why did I even bother" LOL.

I have this problem as well – makes me want to puke. I can’t seem to control the spin so I don’t go too fast. When I first got the x pole, all I wanted to do was spin but as I’ve got used to static, spinning makes me more sick. I have to lie on the floor and stop the room spinning before I can carry on! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
Maybe travel sickness pills will work! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_l.gif

My only concern with you taking motion sickness pills is if that would make things worse in a way? You should definitely read all the lingo jargon on the pills if you are going to take them. Who knows if maybe heavy exercise is not good when you’ve taken one…Just looking out for ya!
I suggest taking it slow. Make your movements around the pole more exaggerated and bigger. The tighter you pull yourself in, the faster you go. Like when going into a flirty fireman, pivot around in a big circle…I hope that helps.

I remember I used to feel sick on spinny too. I would have to lie on my bed to slow down the spinning feeling, and let the nausea subside until I could try again. It would make me feel like I was hungover hahaha! But now I am totally fine! I can spin all day, at any speed. Just keep practising and me gentle with yourself. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I used to get sick just pole dancing on a static pole! usually when I was getting a bit too into it and trying to do too many spins too quickly. it got much better with time so iam hoping it will be the same for the spin mode.
I haven’t used my pole properly in soin mode yet (only one or two spins), and after reading your post I will take it easy. Thanks for the warning https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif -
I have learned that spinny mode is kind of like an ice skater when they do the really fast pirouettes on the ice. When they let their arms or legs out, they slow down a bit, and when they bring the arms and legs in, they speed up. When I instruct students on spinny mode for the first time, I have them experiment with their body positioning on the pole. Pulling the body into the pole or straightening their posture will speed them up, pulling away, arching their back or bringing a leg or arm out will slow them down a little. I always make sure to tell them to GENTLY lift into the spin, NEVER jump or LAUNCH your body as they do when in static. As far as the dizzy factor, I found that it helps if you can spot something MOVING WITH the pole…i.e. finger nail polish, your hands, something moving with you. It helps a little….Just take things slow and take lots of breaks!! I hope this helps some!

I agree with ^ I look at my hands or the base of the pole if I’m inverting on spinny, it helps but you have to get used to it. You should NEVER close your eyes lol although I’m sure you’re smart enough to know that – I experimented at the beginning and found that not only does it make the sickness worse, flying across the room is also not so fun haha

Just give it time. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif Go easy on yourself and increase your practice time bit by bit. I used to feel sick, shaky and clammy for ages afterwards too. But now I can spin fast for hours with no sickness. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
It’s just like you have to keep sitting on the pole little by little to get used to pole burn between your thighs. All practice practice practice. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif -
A natural remedy for motion sickness is ginger. It works great for dogs and kids who get sick in cars. Not sure if it would work for spinny poles, though. I have gotten dizzy on static….not so much any more. Still not a big fan of spin mode…… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_shaking.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_r.gif

I took a spinning class last week and thought I was going to be ill the whole time – we were practicing a lot of moves. I kept thinking I was going to thow up while doing a layout – I’m sure I turned green. I kept thinking about that scene in the Exocist… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_l.gif
My teacher said to switch up the directions of the spins and that would help.
Um yeah – but NO…didn’t work for me LOL but maybe it might help you – who knows. My friend also swears by sucking on little ginger candies…

I used to get really queasy working on the spinny mode as well! What I have found that helps me is wearing Sea-Bands. They are wrist bands that use acupressure to alleviate motion sickness and nausea. You can find them at most drug stores along with the motion sickness meds or behind the counter. I actually wore them for morning sickness during both of my pregnancies. Between the bands and just pacing my workouts and alternating between spinning and non-spinning modes, I really haven’t had a problem. Hope this helps!!!
