now or later?
I was wondering WHEN, during a pole workout, is the best time to work on "the new move"? For example, i lost my twisted grip handspring, so that is my current goal and I’ve been trying to get it back.
Anyway, I feel like I’m not warmed up enough at the beginning of my pole work out— and close to the end of my workout, I’m warmed up but my muscles are too tired to hold me up. Maybe I should start trying "the new move" immediately after warming up? Seems like that just frustrates me and a end up quitting my workout early. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif

I prefer to work on new moves at the end if I am only pole dancing that day, so I am fully warm. I just don’t dance to the point of exhaustion! My new favorite way…. I do a short free weight session then hit the new moves. The weight lifting wakes me up (I have to workout in the AM) blah https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumbdown.gif but I have noticed a big improvement in my quality of pole sessions if I do strength work before. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I also find that helps me I do a (roughly) 20 minute warm up then body conditioning exercises which includes strength training (all in all warm up and body conditioning probably takes just over an hour – then it’s pole time!!!) and I find that on the days that I skip the body conditioning exercises it does take me a little longer to get into.
Veena if I may ask what do you recommend instead of doing push ups lol – I HATE doing push ups https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

I like to vary my workouts between…… Chest flies, Bench press with dumbbells or bar bell (its good to change it up) Decline bench press, Incline bench press, or I use different hand placements for push ups. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif Oh and the Arnold Press (shoulder press) Is great for chest and shoulders! I avoid the pec deck, this machine can put some peoples shoulders at risk for injury. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif Don’t forget you can use Cable machines or fit bands for any of these.
