I’ve only been doing pole for 8 months and I’ve started keeping a journal in the last week or so and I’ve already found it invaluable. I can keep track of the moves I’ve mastered, the moves to revise and the moves to learn. So far I’ve aced 5 moves in 3 days.

For conditioning I can strongly recommend kettlebell training as it cardio and weights in 1.

It strengthens your core and will help you build strength. I would recommend you do HITT training as p90x or any of those type of programs take waaaayyyyy to long.

There are lots of great FREE Hitt programmes such as bodyrock.tv or Zuzka light (she has free youtube workouts and very cheap subscription sites)

Zuzana workouts

Free zwow workouts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgkSSCJsbsI (27mins)
List of 6 minute workouts : https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=zuzana+light+6+minute

Just because they are short doesn’t mean they are not intense. I’ve been doing here workouts for 3 years and she is the real deal. I’m in the best shape of my life at 43 because of her workouts

Bodyrock.tv

I would recommend you go to youtube as they do lots of workout challenges

Fitness Blender

Also do great free HITT workouts they are excellent too.

wow that is disgusting. I am so sorry you went through that. some people are really disgusting rude pigs (and racist in your case too). Thankfully not everyone is like that and everyone here is really nice (and normal). So don’t quit. If you quit, you let them win!

If your looking to build lean muscle. You will have to use resistance training from weight training. To dispel a myth weight training WON’T MAKE YOU BULKY.

Quite the opposite, women are more likely to build lean muscle.

I suggest going to body http://www.bodybuilding.com . As there is a lot of diet information there and a great resource for supplements. I can also suggest kettlebell training as its cardio and weight training in 1. Once you get the proper training on to do a correct kettlebell swing, you can do it in the comfort of your own home, workouts take about 15-20 mins and it will save you a fortune in gym fees.

May 20, 2015 at 6:04 pm in reply to: Local options for a man wanting to learn pole dancing

That’s Very uncool they discriminated against you- I am sorry you are experiencing this. At my studio in london, men are welcomed. I’ve I would suggest that you sign up for online classes with studio veena so you can get started. Also consider 1-2-1 tution with a teacher that way you feel comfortable and learn at your own pace. Just keep searching someone I am sure will say yes to you. All the best. Check this out too, he’s fantastic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roOpKsflY2I

I can also suggest chia seeds they are very high in protein, added to greek yoghurt with some honey you have probably (though not sure) a much protein as a protein drink. Also soy protein is rank. I can recommend also Syntrax Nectar, tastes great, is gluten free, diary free and I think sugar free. I drank the stuff for years. Here’s some info on chia seeds http://www.globalhealingcenter.com/natural-health/health-benefits-of-chia-seeds/

massive HUGE fan of Olga Koda. What can I say…the most amazing body, excellent floor work, excellent taste in music, great routines and I’ve seen her spinning pole videos. To me, if there was pole athlete on I aimed to be as good as it would be her.
