What if you want to lose weight, become more flexible, hardy and plastic at the same time? Do you really have to spend days and nights in a fitness club to achieve the desired result, including cardio training, a complex for stretching, abdominal exercises, training on simulators and yoga in your program? It turns out that instead, only one sport is enough - pole dancing.

Pole dancing, which is also called pole dance (Pole Dance) or pole acrobatics (Pole Sport), appeared in Russia not so long ago, and if at first many were wary of them, then very soon their popularity as a sport began to grow … Today, many major fitness and dance studios have included pole classes and workouts in their programs.

The founder of pole acrobatics can rightfully be considered a striptease on a pole. But the main difference between modern pole dancing programs and striptease is that you don't have to undress. In the classroom, they teach both the elements of strip plastic (dance ligaments, stretching exercises, the development of plasticity and flexibility), and acrobatic tricks on a pole.

Diligent students quite quickly learn to fly around the pole, keeping themselves in the air with only one hand, climb it to the ceiling and effectively hang upside down in the air. As with any other sport, those who are already in good physical condition progress faster. But if there is a desire for success, sooner or later, everyone achieves.

Pole Dance is practiced by ordinary women, thin and plump. And, believe me, some donuts can give odds to many skinny women in performing complex tricks. For those who are shy about group lessons, there is always the opportunity to work out with a coach individually. And true enthusiasts can even set up a pole at home to practice on in their spare time.

Since almost any fabric has a sliding property, it is most convenient to perform tricks in short shorts and tops.

In addition, pole dancing is the best option for those who get bored during monotonous workouts on simulators or in group classes. Firstly, because the training program will always be tailored to a specific participant: everyone performs and learns their own set of tricks, focusing on the general program. And secondly, because it will not be boring: a healthy portion of drive and the opportunity to experiment in the lesson is provided.

Separately, it should be said about the dress code adopted in the classroom. The golden rule for Pole Dance is the less clothing the better. Since almost any fabric has a sliding property, it is most convenient to perform tricks in short shorts and tops. Those who have been practicing for a long time purchase special clothes made of non-slip materials and high-heeled shoes for greater effect.

Regular pole training in terms of the strength of its effect on the body is comparable to effective fitness training, since it allows you to work out almost all muscle groups. After all, in order to hang in the air, overcoming the laws of gravity, one cannot do without steel muscles.

During exercise, the entire upper body will work, especially the arms, which must support the weight in a variety of positions. In stances and back bends, the back will work on the pole. Numerous coups and supports will train the abs. The legs will not be left without attention, especially the internal muscles of the thighs, which will have to hold themselves on the pole. In addition, pole dancing develops endurance, flexibility, coordination, grace, agility and stretching.

Another indisputable plus of pole acrobatics is the development of creativity. Having a basic set of shapes, you can experiment with their sequence and connections. And then - to put on a whole dance, showing not only a creative streak, but also artistry. In some groups, an independent dance performance is provided for the chosen music and its demonstration in the circle of other participants.

Finally, this sport has another virtue that no other training session has. Since there is no escape from the erotic underpinnings of this dance, classes on the pole will develop femininity, self-confidence, and will allow you to accept and love your body. And this advantage alone should push you to start walking on them as soon as possible.

As the body gets used to it, bruising will stop appearing after each workout.

By the way, autumn with her long sleeves and tight tights is the perfect time to start mastering pole acrobatics. Indeed, at first, bruises are indispensable. Gradually, as the body gets used to it, the bruising will stop appearing after each workout. Therefore, if you want to master the skill of pole acrobatics by the summer, it's time to start classes now.
