I’ve heard a lot of people rave about the benefits one can get by doing pole fitness dancing at home. I really am not surprised though because as a pole fitness practitioner and instructor I have reaped the benefits that pole dancing gives. Not only did I lose weight and tone my body through a fun and flirty workout, I also gained a newfound self-confidence and attitude. For what it’s worth, pole fitness dancing is really an effective workout for the everyday woman.

If you have bought an online pole fitness dancing lessons and have dutifully finished it (or couldn’t find the time to get through ALL the lessons), you might be wondering what other uses you have for it. I mean, after all, you still want to get value for your money even after you have exhausted your lessons.  And I bet you that there are certainly numerous creative ways in which you can use your online pole fitness dancing lessons for other purposes.

1. Use it for flexibility exercises

Pole fitness dancing is no doubt a very good workout for improving flexibility. The various lifts and tricks needed to execute a graceful pole performance entails a lot of plasticity and so naturally range of motion exercises come with the whole package. Flexibility is VERY important and there is always room to grow and get even more flexible which will greatly improve your pole dancing routines.  Most older woman think they may be too old to get super flexible or even get their splits – BUT THAT’S A LIE!  I didn’t even start to try and get my splits till I was 28 and at my current age of 38 (well almost – my birthday is in two days) I still have my splits all 3 ways 🙂 and YOU CAN TOO!  Granted, as we age there are certain challenges but nothing you can’t overcome with the right tips and training.

2. Use it for strength training

A lot of people would probably debate on this, but whether you like it or not pole dancing is an incredible workout that demands a lot of strength and endurance.  Strengthening exercises build strong bones and connective tissue along with joint mobility lessening the occurrence of osteoporosis. And unlike running or skipping, pole fitness dancing is a better alternative because it doesn’t put stress on your joints from huge impacts of jumping up and down a hard surface.

It has also been widely reported that even sports athletes cannot replicate the grueling moves that constitute pole dancing saying that it requires a lot of upper arm and core strength more than what the average everyday woman can manage.  The fact is, with regular and repetitive strengthening exercises done on a dance pole, everyday women can build strong muscles to do things like inverting with ease.  Don’t let a lack of upper body scare you away from continuing your pole fitness training.  There are many upper and lower body strengthening video tutorials in the PoleBody Complete Home Edition online pole lessons course to re-use over and over again for years to come.

3. Use it to improve your balance

Are you someone who constantly bumps or trips into something? Then pole fitness dancing is absolutely perfect for you. Due to the nature of the exercise, pole fitness dancing is impeccable in developing your kinesthetic awareness or your brain’s ability to perceive the body in 3-dimensional spaces.  Repetitively practicing the full and half pirouettes on your dance pole will definitely improve your balance – when done right.  You must do your turn and pirouettes with your bones stacked right, the chest lifted at the right moment of rotation, and the weight centered in the ball of the foot without allowing the ankle to sickle.

I’m not a mother yet, but you heard me right. Pole fitness dancing lessons is a great tool in helping you prepare for pregnancy and childbirth. According to friends and science, pole fitness dancing helps develop a strong back and abdomen which alleviates back pain associated with pregnancy. Moreover, because of the tractability of the back and abdominal muscles, it also lessens the pain of childbirth.  Some mothers even continue pole dancing while pregnant!  (this isn’t always recommended for every woman just so you know)

This may sound overrated but pole dancing is a sure way to help spice up a stale relationship. It can definitely add excitement in both partners as pole dancing was once a big taboo for a majority of people. More than that, it could also be a great couple’s workout as we certainly have been seeing a number of men trying out the pole fitness exercise and sport.it’s VERY COMMON for husbands to play on the dance pole at home with their wives.  Some husbands will not admit this, but it’s true!  Just ask a friend you know with a pole if her husband has
