A dancer’s body are coveted by men and women alike and presents the aesthetics in their performance and day to day look. We all want to feel confident and have the beautiful lines of a dancer.
The body of a pole dancer and the body of a ballet dancer have slight differences, but how they both got the body they have is quite similar.
To fully understand how to get the pole dancers body, it would first be wise to understand how dancer’s in general, go about losing weight, building muscle, and training the body to move in certain ways. First, note that when you look at your average woman, even though she may be skinny, it doesn’t mean that she has the body of a dancer. She may not be toned and therefore you cannot see the lines of the muscular structure underneath her skin.
Skinniness, in general, doesn’t equal a pole dancer’s body. So what does?
The secret to understanding how to get a pole dancers body is understanding two parts; human adaptability & specific, targeted nutrition.
Part 1: Understanding Adaptability
Humans always have been and always will be adaptable creatures. Whatever daily demands are placed on the body, the body will react by compensating to handle them. When those demands are too much, then injury or illness ensues. If you think of a rock climber, they usually have very strong upper body muscles. That’s because they are using their arms to pull upward and climb things like cliffs. In the same way, when a woman is dancing on a pole, her body will adjust by gaining flexible muscle to perform the moves she is trying to do.
There are pole dancing exercises you can do to promote your body to adjust faster so that a dancer could execute the pole dance moves sooner, however, nothing really causes the body to adapt and reshape quite like dancing itself.
Ballet dancers spend time at the barre, training their bodies to move in certain ways. These ways of moving are not naturally performed in the body. Things like walking and running come naturally, but ballet dancing uses muscles that aren’t normally used in daily life.
Dancers work to cause the hips to turn out, to align the bones, to point the toes in very specific ways, and to be more flexible in specific muscle groups. By doing this, a dancer gets better extensions in the legs and learns to move in a way that creates long lines for the viewer in the audience.
As time passes and more time is spent dancing and training these muscles not used in normal daily activity, the body adapts and “reshapes” to accommodate those regular demands.
Getting a pole dancer’s body isn’t really a huge secret, however a big part of the secret is, learning to move like a pole dancer on a regular basis.
Once it adapts it affects their regular life. For example, dancers walk differently. In class, they learn to keep the hips under and neutral. When they are out walking around, this same rule is applied.
Dancing isn’t like going to the gym where you can perform certain exercises and then forget about them until you go back to the gym again. Dancer’s LIVE what they learn. Those hips are tucked under in a neutral position while they are pushing the shopping cart through the grocery store! It’s a lifestyle!
It’s a regular demand placed on the body. Not a one-time exercise, not a one-time fix and definitely not something you get to do for a few months and then quit.
Part 2: Important Dietary Changes For The Lean Body Look
Lets face it, you can’t keep eating toxic junk food and expect to have a lean appearance. Body fast much be reduced so all those newly shaped dancers muscles can be seen. Snickers, popcorn, and soda pop just won’t do anymore.
One thing that is important to know that an toxic food you ingest can get stored as fat. When the body is in a toxic overload then it will suspend those toxins in your fat cells (away from your organs) to be disposed of later as a means to protect what’s most important, your organs! To save your life!
Toxins come into the body through the air we breath, the wine parties we love, and our favorite soda, you will get exposed but the key is to reduce that overload as much as possible, therefore reducing the bodies need to store it. A great digestive system and liver function play a key function in removing toxins from the body, eating a diet that supports those two things while avoiding in taking new toxins will cause you to lose fat quick.
Did you know that there are many hidden toxins in your kitchen most people don’t know about? You can read more making simple, cheap kitchen changes to clean up your body toxicity level quickly here:
While this article is already very long, to summarize a clean diet that supports getting lean is:
- A diet largely in vegetables and fruits from an organic source. This will help clean up the digestive tract, here is a quick hack to put this on supercharge and melt fat quicker =>
- Clean water is essential (tap water is horrible, at least filter the chlorine out. Aquasana is the best water filter and the only one I trust for me and my family) anymore.
- Replace white sugar with a natural zero calorie sweetener like Swerve.
- As for meats, Ive seen people eat meats of all kinds and stay lean, just remember organic is better. This choice will remove the artificial hormones, dyes, and preservatives they add to meats (yes even fresh meat).
If you want to truly understand how to get a pole dancers body, then you must commit to a pole dancing lifestyle and eat clean (again, as a lifestyle). Never give up your pole dancing classes and always keep going.
