Stop the diet today and replace the whole concept...

I am a chocoholic with a six pack! 

Granted I do plenty of exercise and this is exactly my point. 
Because of exercise we can all not only eat, but really enjoy food too.

Exercise naturally encourages us to do more exercise plus eat more and healthier food.

If you allocate more time to activities like Pole Fitness you will not only eat less because you are at the gym but also want to eat healthier due to needing the extra nutrition when you are finished.

You also boost your serotonin and endorphin levels making you happier and therefore more willing to want to eat the better option at the time.

Regularly do a food plan overhaul. Replace unhealthy or simply add yummy healthy stuff to the cupboard.

Dried fruit, fresh berries and nuts plus nutrient enriched foods (e.g. spinach, chia seeds) into your daily Smoothy. 

Continue to mix up your dinner choices making them a little healthier each time.

Be aware of what you eat all week and give yourself a well deserved lush break when you need to. Reward is the essence of success.

Choose foods that boost your energy and help get you moving!

Vertical pole gymnastics is a thorough and fun exercise plan guaranteed to change your habits for the better.

Become a chocoholic with a six pack! 

Pole exercise every week means you can have your cake and eat it too!

Is the community selfish or ignorant to the Pole facts...

Pole dancing is simply not appropriate for kids.
However vertical pole gymnastics is fantastic; for everyone.

Sofia, a student of mine, is 8 years old.

She did a perfect Half Split Hold with no hands and Flips, Climbs and Locks, like a gymnast champion.

Sofia has absolutely loved the Pole Fitness Studios program for 2 years now and is now at Squad level gymnastics because of her pole skill set and the gymnastic grooming it offers.

No Handed Half Split

I would never incorporate any kind of dance when instructing pole gymnastics (especially not striptease or erotic dance).

These are two individual movement patterns/types (dance and pole)... Combining them creates convolution, the students complete understanding of why, how, when and what they are doing on the pole is gravely effected.

Sofia is already combining some of the hundreds of pole exercises available, into amazing freestyle routines for fun, keeping her fitness training for longer periods of time while in class and completely engaged; May I remind you she is 8.

Gymnastic skills are basics motor skills, our most important requirement to practice, for all of us but especially kids when initially learning them.

Because people chose to combine these two skills (dance and pole), this does not define the pole, instead enhances the clarity between what pole product is for adults only and then appropriate for fitness and kids.

Here are examples of pole gymnastics in other countries...

What is the very best exercise available and why?

The Institute of Sport recommend gymnastics to kids (and adults) because it focuses on our basic motor skills and natural movement patterns of the human body... It's natural & practical.

Daisy - Monkey Climbing 
Aged 6

Kids are not only more active than adults but they are fearless, willing to try any and all of the apparatus available in the gymnasium.

Generally adults are not as keen, swamped in with life's responsibilities, often cradling joint issues and can totally fathom the burden of hurting ourselves if it goes wrong.

Awesome news... when conditioning your body vertical pole is superior to the other apparatus available in the gymnasium because there is no need to 'release grips' or for 'separate landings' from the apparatus.

Vertical pole is the most gentle on your body and mind.

Even the Rope does not allow for the comfortable 'slide out' emergency exit, that pole offers!

Iris - Monkey Climbing aged 72

Slide down out of an exercise mistake, rather than having to release and land, means Pole Fitness Studios offers the easier of the gymnastic apparatus's making it perfect for adult gymnastics!

Exercise is an essential part of living a healthy and happy life, marking the time and effort, reaps major rewards.

No need to do anything else, vertical pole gymnastics does it all... This gymnastic apparatus, conditions you in and peaks you out! 

Gymnastics is the No.1 fitness according to the Fitness Institute of Sport.

Overweight people of course feel heavier when starting Pole Fitness however the spinning pole offers an aerodynamic sensation that is fun and makes your workout lighter than ever before.

Plus carrying more means losing more; this added weight strengthens you up immediately, creating more muscle to eat away the fat!

If it is strength building or flexibility you need, the programme will challenge you offering you a greater range of exercises. Resulting in an even stronger more defined body!

Pole is guaranteed to tone you up fast and add muscle mass where required.

You may not be able to do everything as quickly as you please but there are plenty of pole exercises to practice while strengthening and stretching your body for the others, given time.

Everyone poles at there own pace, such is life. 

Unique is the key, we all have our own strengths and weaknesses and need to play on our strengths!

What is the best exercise for a flat tummy...

Why do people beat themselves up over their pole exercise progression?

If you are able to hop skip and jump, you are able to pole!

There are a few reasons why people may not progress within vertical pole gymnastics as fast as they may like and none are worth throwing you off your Pole Fitness workout...

A. Technical - Learning, then remembering the exercise breakdown and then perfect practice makes perfect. This is a process.

B. Ability - You wouldn't expect to walk into a regular gym, for the first time in ages, and pick up the large dumb-bell weights. You want to, but know your bodies weight lifting limits and use the medium/small instead. Building strength and enhancing flexibility is a process no matter what your fitness level.

C. Expectation - Pole is a motor skill. Once you master the basic techniques you never forget them, so we have high expectations and can simply miss part of the aerodynamic exercise formula required.

D. Conditioning - We are are keen jelly beans and it is inevitable that Pole Fitness will get you into the exact fitness and body shape you desire. Be patient with the process!

This emphasizes the importance of a highly skilled Pole Fitness Instructor, there to remind you of the many intricate formula requirements to safely master vertical pole gymnastics!

After learning a Pole Fitness exercise, we are quickly keen to master them all! 

A fabulously powerful fitness motivator, perfect for all your body sculpting and fitness needs.

When Mya aged 5, saw Daisy aged 6 was actually doing the class Wednesday morning, her beautiful little face had lit up and then froze, with a dropped jaw, in awe of Daisy's skill level on the pole!

When they first arrive at the studio, kids play, then patently watch and wait for mummy to finish class.

After class finishes, seeing "Miss" (that's me lol), getting their mums to do the fun and amazing climbs, handstands, flips and spins...

It's lovely to see, when they are next on the pole floor, these children immediately start to concentrate on the formulas, I insist upon, knowing it will work better for them!

They love vertical pole gymnastics and kids are such naturals at mastering these gymnastic motor skills. 

It's not long until the school holidays like these come round and they are asking/nagging to be bought in for a Pole Fitness class!

Please know we do not include any dance at all at or any time at Pole Fitness Studios, children are welcome to attend our classes, being purely focused on the hundreds of vertical pole gymnastic skills to learn.

What is the best exercise for a flat tummy...

Handstands! Do not stop reading cause you won't need to start on your hands...

Vertical Pole gymnastics has a huge range of Handstand variations and the pole offers stability while practicing your form and strengthening up.

Triangle Headstand
with Layout Leg Line

A Triangle Forearm or Headstand up against a wall, are all great ways to start.

Once mastered, Handstands have wonderful floaty feeling and insure abs of steel, so worth the hurdles and practice it takes to get there!

Balance is the key to core strength.

Do some research prior to starting - Be wary of correct hands, elbow and arm set ups and correct head placements.

Here are some Handstand tips...

Flipper Handstand
with Z Leg Extension 

1. Think of your hands/arm placements as, the foundation therefore must be perfectly aligned.
2. To build or stack, your shoulders and hips, over the foundation, you must be looking at the foundation.
3. Point your toes and keep feet/heels together to finish in a Dish gymnastics body shape.

The pole is an amazing balance aid and after choosing an arm foundation/style, I recommend Triangle or/& Straddle Leg Entrance to start practicing.

Did you see Got To Dance UK Reload gave the male pole gymnast 3 gold stars...

How do they compare dance skills, to gymnastic apparatus movements?

The fact they allowed vertical pole to be on a dance show is simply unfair.

He started with a dramatic, No Handed Yoga Sit Pole Mount and froze another pole exercise set up, in time to the next music break however he didn't include any 'dance'...

Vertical Pole Gymnastics
No Handed Flat Foot Yoga Sit

He did demonstrate some great vertical pole gymnastic skills but the next female dancer executes a sequence of floor flips, that are much harder!

Plus that same dance groups timing was amazing and the natural body elevation achieved, when doing synchronized jumps up off the floor was simply not comparable!

Comparing dance to pole gymnastics is like comparing apple to oranges; both are a form of human movement but not the same category or style. 

Pole Gymnastics is commonly mistaken for pole dancing because it's often mixed together e.g. Pole dancing is actually 'dance' mixed together with pole gymnastics x;)

I find it hard to understand their Judging methods, when allowing other movement categories (especially that include apparatus) onto a dance show.

I can see why +Ashley Judd, Kimberly or Allen Did Not pick the male "pole dancer" for their teams, when faced with truly having to judge the dancing elements and therefore finding themselves comparing a pole gymnast to a floor dancer... Apple to Oranges!?
