30 Day Spinning Pole: Day 1

Duration: 00:40:19

Today you'll start off by learning some helpful tips for controlling your spinning pole. Then it's time to practice two commonly used holds, the pole side sit and a back hook. I have placed "take a break" videos between each REPS video. This will help you acclimate and allow you to do anything you need to recover from the spin.

Pro tip: It's not unusual for people to feel sick or dizzy after spinning pole, but as you learned in today's video there are ways to prevent or improve these issues. Below I've written some helpful things to keep in mind when working on spinning pole:

• Every pole spins differently, test it before using so you'll know how much force to use
• Choose a gaze that works for you
• Don't let your body drop or flop around, stay in control
• Keep the arms bent when using a pole hold; this position will strengthen your biceps and lats more than hanging from straight arms
• Use the legs (between the knees) if needed to hold the body while slowing the spin
• Cut your vision to relieve dizziness
• Bounce to relieve dizziness
• Breathe
