My revised potential schedule. Since only 10-15 minutes of my 1/2 class is actually spinning and the rest is dancey or floor work, I don’t think this schedule would be overdoing it. Thoughts?

M: 1 hr pole (level 1/2), 1 hr floor/chair

T: home workout: 30 minutes cardio, 30 minutes stretching or yoga

W: 1 hr pole (level 1/2), 1 hr floor/chair

T: home workout: 1-1.5 hours mix of home poling, weights, and stretching/yoga (depending what I feel I need work on)

F: Rest Day

Sat: 1 hr stretch/flexy class, 1 hr pole (level 2/3)

Sun: Rest day or light cardio/yoga

I am getting over a cold so today I took a sexy stretch class that helps with flexibility instead of taking pole 2/3. I really like the instructor because she comes around to check everyone’s positions and eases us into poses. The instructor on Tuesdays/Thursdays is flowier which is nice, but I like someone making sure I am doing things correctly.

If on Saturdays I do some light cardio and then the stretch class from 10:30-11:30 AM, would it be OK to go to pole 2/3 at 2:30-3:30PM? I don’t want to overdue anything but I really like the stretch teacher and Saturday afternoon is the only level 2/3 that works with my schedule.

Thank you both! I do think the 1/2 is a bit more dancey than the 2/3. I took my heart rate monitor to my level 1/2 and to my floor chair class. I burned 425 calories in pole which was more in the aerobic zone and 340 in floor/chair which said it was more in the fat burn zone. I will need to take it to 2/3 class. There is also a tricks and spins class that I can use if I need help with certain things that I learn in the studio (or here 🙂 ). I hate running but maybe I can do more fast-paced walking or other cardio.
