Warm the pole

Posted by CeledaBcn on March 1, 2011 at 4:55 am

Hi everyone, as beginner i have a doubt…

What it's the meaning of "Warm the pole"?

Maybe it's simple, i know that warm the pole make best grip, and it have to make at the start of the practice, but… HOW?

Can you give me some tricks or maybe a routine to warm the pole?

Warm my self for make exercices it's easy, i make sport all my life, and know the meaning, but with the pole… I have problems to warm it up xD

Thanks in advance.

Veena's warm up video in the lessons has a warm up for the pole. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Hi Celeda. The pole being metal, it is very slippery when you first try and use it. By warming up the metal a bit, it makes it more sticky and easier to use.

I can't access Veena's lessons with my stupid slow internet connection, but at our studio, all we do to warm the pole up is a couple of easy spins so that our hand slides down the pole. This is enough friction to warm the pole for me.

Here CeledaBcn….this is the warm up dance HellsBells is talking about. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/80540840-b88a-11df-856f-001b214581be

You can do anything that raises your heart rate, like jogging in place, doing strength work. The nice thing about the warm up lessos is I show you moves that also warm the pole at the same time as your body 🙂

CeledeBcn. The very first pole exercise I created, went I started just a scant month ago, was one to warm up the pole in a slow zen-line manner, from high to low. Its sole purpose is to heat the metal, sensitize the center of my palm to the curve of the pole and to drop and engage my shoulders and scapula downward. Nothing special for someone to look at, just a nice way to center myself around this wonderful vertical barre I'm about to spiral about.

Chuck your pole in the microwave for 3minutes on high https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

I tend to do that too, only I find 3 mins makes it a wee bit hot so I keep it at 2 mins…https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

The sparks the microwave makes from all that metal inside are also very pretty as a bonus!

Sometimes if you leave it in for 4 mins it makes popping noises & its like fireworks in your kitchen. Who needs to pay for them, right?
