In the world of aerial sports, there are many different apparatus to work with. Dance pole, flying pole, aerial silks, lyra hoop and more. Each of these apparatus can be your gateway to the world of aerial arts. One of the most common transition is from Pole Fitness to Lyra or Aerial Hoop Fitness. You may have the experience dancing on the pole and more specifically the spinning pole. Then the transition to hoop dancing would be quite simple for you. Below are some reasons you would be interested in taking up aerial hoop if you are a pole dancer;Use The Same Space At Home Do you already have a portable pole or stage pole set up at home? This means you have been blessed with a space dedicated for training. If you have a stage pole, installing the lollipop lyra is really straightforward if you want to switch between pole and hoop.If your pole type is portable and removable, make sure your ceiling type and space can accommodate a hoop installation. In case its yes, you can remove your pole on days you train hoop. For this reason I tend to choose dance poles than can be installed and removed easily. Installing and removing the lyra hoop is easy for me as I just unlock the little carabiners that hook onto my ceiling mount. Lesson Learnt: Attempting to install the aerial hoop yourself at home. Unless it is a stage lollipop installation that is easy to install, doing a DIY aerial installation on the ceiling is not advisable as you want to be sure the ceiling, hoop and accessories can handle your weight and movements. Get a skilled handyman or structural engineer to inspect and assist you with the installation. Apparatus Similarity Whilst shaped very differently, both apparatuses are made of tubes of steel. This means, there are similar grips, pushing and pulling motions you are already familiar with.If you've been pole dancing already, you're also used to bruises and sometimes feeling pain on new grip points. You will also know though, it's not all that bad. On the contrary, it is a sign you've had the opportunity to learn a new skill or use a new contact point on your body! Game Changer Tips: You can give your hoop a better grip by wrapping it with a lyra tape. A suitable tape will prevent your hands and contact points from slipping. To prevent burns, wear clothes and on days your hands are hurting, grippy gloves can be a lifesaver! Benefit From Cross Training Cross training pole dancing with another aerial sport. Such as aerial hoop will help to improve your overall fitness capacity, flexibility and mobility. Constantly training just pole dancing might lead to your skills and fitness level plateauing without improvement. Especially since you are just repeating similar movements using the same apparatus.Mixing it up with a different fitness sport that also share some basic similarities will work as a powerful supplement to pole dancing. It will not only increase your level of fitness. But it reduces your chance of overuse leading to injury while keeping your fitness levels high. Train Your "Other" Side The dance pole moves and lyra hoop moves both engages similar muscle groups. And both are mainly focused on the upper body, arms and shoulders. This means if you have been working on your upper body and core muscles during pole dancing. Then switching to Lyra hoop would be pretty easy and smooth for you.What I really like about aerial hoop is that I am getting a more balanced use of both my left and right side. With pole dancing I tend to use my dominant side more. Like a lot of other pole dancers. So far in my beginner aerial hoop journey, I have had plenty of chances to use my less dominant side more. And finally gaining some engagement and strengtening that I couldn't get from just pole dancing. Train In Colder Weather Pole dancing in winter can be tough. Warming yourself up, warming your pole, difficulty getting a grip on the pole. Don't lose the motivation and instead find other things you can do to maintain the consistency of your training.I noticed using the aerial hoop is great way to cross-train in colder weather because you can work out and dance fully clothed. This is only possible if you tape your hoop for that sticky grippy finish that will give you plenty of grip even with clothes on. This makes it a perfect choice for training in the cold!

When I first started teaching pole dancing classes, I simply couldn't afford a good brand name pole. I had to start with something more affordable yet I didn't want to compromise the health and safety of myself or my students by doing so. So just kept asking myself...... “What’s the difference between all those and the no-brand screw together friction fit dance poles sold on Ebay or Amazon?” The BEST way to decide which pole dancing pole is best for you and your situation is watch and read a lot of reviews. When I first started shopping, there were no video reviews on the no brand dance poles, just the verbal ones from previous buyers. Those didn't really didn't help me because I was using the pole everyday for commercial use while most people were using it once or twice a week for a 20-30 minute pole dance workout at home (or something like that). So what happened? I bought several different no brand pole dance poles off Ebay and Amazon that looked good, looked identical in the pictures, and appeared trustworthy based on verbal reviews and made a TON of costly mistakes.

This pole is safe and sturdy enough to be used to learn pole dance fitness in your own home. Off brand removable or portable dance poles come in both static and spinning form. Static poles remain stationary 100% of the time. Spinning dance poles can be static or spinning. Usually, there are screws at the bottom of the pole that allow you to lock the pole into static mode, or loosen the screws for a spinning mode.Not all brand name pole are safe or good quality. There are also what I call "party poles" which are good to stand by and dance around but are not meant to hold a lot of weight and therefore are not suitable for exercise purposes or pole tricks like fast pole spins and inverting. Typically, you will find these types of poles in a local adult stores or Spencers.I bought one once just to try it out and wouldn't recommend them to anyone for safety reasons. Some come spring loaded and can come loose from the ceiling. Especially if too much tension is put on the pole. They also usually come with plastic parts, and that says it all. I'm not even going to try and spin on a pole with plastic parts. Plastic breaks, end of discussion.

Carmen Electra Dance pole - you can read that review here: When purchasing an off-brand portable pole, watch for these clues.

There are two types of powers or currency in this world > Sex and Money. One of the biggest underlying reasons all woman are so driven to feel sexy, have a beautiful body, and be as fit as possible is because of this underlying power that sex gives a woman in this world. We don’t talk about this much, but it’s a VERY important concept to truly understand on a deeper level if you ever really want to feel comfortable and sexy your own skin.During a recent sexual encounter, I was told: “you’re actually comfortable with your body, it’s nice to be with someone who isn’t’ insecure about the way they look”. My response was “well that’s what I do, teach a woman to feel confident and sexy in their body, I would be the world’s biggest hypocrite if I didn’t actually feel that way about myself”. And then I started thinking…… Gee, I never really talk at great length about this with my fans. That was by far the best compliment I have ever received from a man.And THIS IS the most important part of learning to pole dance for fitness. Sure it’s the best workout, sure it’s a lot of fun, sure pole dancing can make your body look toned and fit, HOWEVER, above all that, pole dancing has the power to re-shape the way you ACTUALLY feel about your body when you are naked. It has the power to re-shape your attitude into feeling comfortable in your own skin and a powerful, confident woman - IF you allow it to happen.The reason I haven’t talked about it much is that it’s a sexual topic and feels a bit taboo, especially when I am trying to send a message that pole dancing is for fitness at home and keep things “clean” for the everyday woman. Pole dancing isn’t a trashy stripper thing to me, but there is no denying that it has sexual undertones and influences that really attract women to it, even if it’s a purely subconscious attraction. There is nothing wrong with wanting to feel and look your best while you are dancing on your dance pole at home.ALL women are sexual in nature. We all want to feel in control, pampered, cared for, sexy, REALLY SEXY, and confident. We want to make heads turn. It’s the world we live in. The reason sex is a powerful currency is that we all want it. Anything that the majority of people want will cause people to pay for it and flock to it subconsciously and that’s powerful.So where do woman stand to gain and improve knowing about sex as a power?The first steps are to embrace the attitude that it’s ok to be sexual. Allow yourself permission to love your body, even if it’s not perfect because IT’S YOUR BODY. You only have one body and it deserves love, kindness, and tenderness even if it doesn’t look like a perfect supermodel.At some point to really feel comfortable with your body on the inside, you have to strip away those internal thoughts that tell you that you are not sexy right now. For example: if you were to reflect inward and attempt to feel sexy while you are pole dancing, you may hear in your mind that you need to get rid of that cellulite on your thighs and THEN you will be sexy. When this happens, don’t deny that thought, it’s a genuine point of view that you have. The trick is to see that thought, allow it to be a point of view that you have, let it go and remember that you don’t have to believe every thought you have as truth right now.You can still CHOOSE to feel sexy ANYWAY right now, even if your thoughts disagree. Your internal thoughts are not the final decision on how you get to feel about yourself. Learning to hear and see your thoughts, but not necessarily buy into them as the truth in the now moment is a critical practice to master.This takes time. So if you attempt to practice this and end up feeling like it’s not working right away, don’t be surprised.You have believed those negative thoughts in your mind, messages sent in the media, and viewing pictures of supermodels for years. Undoing these subconscious thoughts are a process and practice that will be perfected in time.I didn’t’ wake up and decide I was going to feel sexy and then it just happened. I had to KEEP DECIDING to feel sexy every day. Here is a secret I have NEVER told anybody before.I didn’t get the beautiful body I have now BEFORE I felt sexy on the inside. I got the body of a pole dancer and became toned and sexy AFTER I decided I felt sexy.I honestly feel that the biggest block to actually getting the body of our dreams and actually feeling comfortable in our own skin is our own mind.Once you get through those blocks in your mind, you will find yourself more committed to your workouts and more willing to eat healthier. Your won’t be fighting or pushing yourself anymore. When stop fighting with you on the inside, the perfect dream body just naturally falls into place.Your dream body is a result AND EFFECT of what you think on the inside. Getting a dream body won’t make you feel anymore sexy than you do right now. That’s a lie a culture has duped us into believing as a means to increase profit margins by selling you the next best diet pill or eating plan. I have confirmed this truth in my own pole dancing classes. There have been many beautiful women who come to class and they hate their bodies and appearances just as much as the girl who is 50lbs overweight.It’s time for a change; it’s time to change on the inside FIRST. Your body will come in alignment with that as you shift on the inside.That is my message to you today.That is the message I want you to remember when you are doing your pole dancing workouts.Be beauty now, it’s who you are……..Please remember to share this article, share the social love, and leave me a comment below!

A must read article to learn what you need to setup a Pole Dancing Workout Space with professional tips to install pole at home to get it right the first time.The very first thing you will need to learn pole dancing at home or to do a pole dancing workout at home is a dance pole. However, there are other things to consider when you are setting up your workout space at home.When you go to the gym or do other fitness workouts for women at home you may need various equipment like dumbbells or weights of some kind, an exercise ball, a good pair of athletic shoes, and workout clothes in order to do your routine. Getting ready and preparing your space for a pole dancing workout is no different. There is more than a just a dance pole to consider.So what else do you need besides a good quality dance pole for a home workout?Here is a short list to get ready for your pole workout: A Dance Pole You need a good quality professional grade dance pole. There are cheaper pole dancing poles on the market, however, they are not all safe for pole dancing fitness. A spinning pole dancing pole is best because you will get a different workout in the different modes. A pole that is both static AND spinning is not required but I feel it is best. My beginners learning to pole dance have specifically said that they prefer a spinning dance pole because it’s easier to learn on.A XPert X Pole is the most popular, but there are other poles that are pro quality for a cheaper price. You just need to know what to look for a good dance pole or it could be dangerous. Other things like individual ceiling heights and angles as well as flooring types in your home will affect which pole you buy. You can learn how to choose the right pole for your unique floor and ceiling height here => Dance Pole Grip Aid Grip aids help you grip the pole better. Most beginners don’t have the strength in their hands to perform pole dancing moves so they will use a grip aid (or multiple) until their grip gets stronger. Your ability to grip depends on the cleanliness of your pole and the type of grip aid you will want to use depends on your skin type and the environment. Here is a great video that will help you choose a grip and learn to clean your dance pole >> Adequate Space For a Dance Pole The space you want to choose to set up your dance pole should be large enough for you to safely swing on the pole without hitting anything in your surroundings. A great way to test your space is by standing a broom or stick so it stands straight up and down on the floor. Extend BOTH your arms straight out to your sides while holding onto the broom and then walk in a circle around the broom. Your fingertips on your extended left hand should not touch anything. See graph to side: Pole Dancing Clothes As a beginner, you will not need to bare as much skin as more advanced dancers. Most fitness clothes will work for a pole dancing workout for women at home, however, they should be fitted not loose. Your top could be a tighter fitting racer back with a built in bra. Shorts for pole dancing do need to be tighter fitting and as short as you can stand to wear them.Most of the women in my classes don’t like to wear booty shorts, especially in the beginning so they will opt for shorts that are about mid-thigh in length. Shorts that have a fitted elastic band around the legs is best to keep your butt cheeks from falling out. You won’t need shoes, bare feet are the best. Pole Dancing Lessons You can learn to pole dance in a local pole dancing class OR you can also learn a pole dancing workout at home online. Be sure to get lessons that are “fitness” oriented for the everyday woman. Many of the pole dancing moves taught are not suitable or safe for the everyday woman. It's because they are not training to be a competitor or a contortionist. Dance technique (ballet inspired) is a must because that level of training will reshape your body. This method allows you to reveal those long toned muscles you crave. Other accessories That you may or may not need depending on your type of workout your choices are: Ankle Weights to increase the intensity of your extensions, A Medicine Ball or Dumbbells for a more intense ab workout, Yoga Blocks for flexibility training (especially if you want to work on your splits). I also highly recommend a mirror so you can watch your dance technique. You can get a huge one for cheap at Kirkland's (that's where I got mine).Anything else you want to add to your home pole dancing workout can be added after you have started learning. Especially since you better understand your own fitness needs. We are all at different fitness levels with different body types. So the equipment needed for a workout can vary from woman to woman.Do you need crash mats? For a beginner … not really. If you have sensitive knees that may give you trouble then you may want to consider. Crash mats provides extra floor padding. You could also wear knee pads as well.Crash mats are expensive and most beginners don’t use the crash mats. The reason is mainly because they are not performing dangerous tricks or inverting. Learning the pole-dancing basics first is important. Crash mats are more for the intermediate and advanced levels. However, if you have the money in the beginning and you don’t mind spending the extra, it never hurts to have the extra padding for safety.Lastly, adding fun stage lighting to your area to practice. Pole dancing routines with lights off is a great way to build confidence in your dancing as well. Lights can be a lot of fun and can be easily mounted to the wall or ceiling for a great dance hall effect!

There are two types of powers or currency in this world > Sex and Money. One of the biggest underlying reasons all woman are so driven to feel sexy, have a beautiful body, and be as fit as possible is because of this underlying power that sex gives a woman in this world. We don’t talk about this much, but it’s a VERY important concept to truly understand on a deeper level if you ever really want to feel comfortable and sexy your own skin.During a recent sexual encounter, I was told: “you’re actually comfortable with your body, it’s nice to be with someone who isn’t’ insecure about the way they look”. My response was “well that’s what I do, teach a woman to feel confident and sexy in their body, I would be the world’s biggest hypocrite if I didn’t actually feel that way about myself”. And then I started thinking…… Gee, I never really talk at great length about this with my fans. That was by far the best compliment I have ever received from a man.And THIS IS the most important part of learning to pole dance for fitness. Sure it’s the best workout, sure it’s a lot of fun, sure pole dancing can make your body look toned and fit, HOWEVER, above all that, pole dancing has the power to re-shape the way you ACTUALLY feel about your body when you are naked. It has the power to re-shape your attitude into feeling comfortable in your own skin and a powerful, confident woman - IF you allow it to happen.The reason I haven’t talked about it much is that it’s a sexual topic and feels a bit taboo, especially when I am trying to send a message that pole dancing is for fitness at home and keep things “clean” for the everyday woman. Pole dancing isn’t a trashy stripper thing to me, but there is no denying that it has sexual undertones and influences that really attract women to it, even if it’s a purely subconscious attraction. There is nothing wrong with wanting to feel and look your best while you are dancing on your dance pole at home.ALL women are sexual in nature. We all want to feel in control, pampered, cared for, sexy, REALLY SEXY, and confident. We want to make heads turn. It’s the world we live in. The reason sex is a powerful currency is that we all want it. Anything that the majority of people want will cause people to pay for it and flock to it subconsciously and that’s powerful.So where do woman stand to gain and improve knowing about sex as a power?The first steps are to embrace the attitude that it’s ok to be sexual. Allow yourself permission to love your body, even if it’s not perfect because IT’S YOUR BODY. You only have one body and it deserves love, kindness, and tenderness even if it doesn’t look like a perfect supermodel.At some point to really feel comfortable with your body on the inside, you have to strip away those internal thoughts that tell you that you are not sexy right now. For example: if you were to reflect inward and attempt to feel sexy while you are pole dancing, you may hear in your mind that you need to get rid of that cellulite on your thighs and THEN you will be sexy. When this happens, don’t deny that thought, it’s a genuine point of view that you have. The trick is to see that thought, allow it to be a point of view that you have, let it go and remember that you don’t have to believe every thought you have as truth right now.You can still CHOOSE to feel sexy ANYWAY right now, even if your thoughts disagree. Your internal thoughts are not the final decision on how you get to feel about yourself. Learning to hear and see your thoughts, but not necessarily buy into them as the truth in the now moment is a critical practice to master.This takes time. So if you attempt to practice this and end up feeling like it’s not working right away, don’t be surprised.You have believed those negative thoughts in your mind, messages sent in the media, and viewing pictures of supermodels for years. Undoing these subconscious thoughts are a process and practice that will be perfected in time.I didn’t’ wake up and decide I was going to feel sexy and then it just happened. I had to KEEP DECIDING to feel sexy every day. Here is a secret I have NEVER told anybody before.I didn’t get the beautiful body I have now BEFORE I felt sexy on the inside. I got the body of a pole dancer and became toned and sexy AFTER I decided I felt sexy.I honestly feel that the biggest block to actually getting the body of our dreams and actually feeling comfortable in our own skin is our own mind.Once you get through those blocks in your mind, you will find yourself more committed to your workouts and more willing to eat healthier. Your won’t be fighting or pushing yourself anymore. When stop fighting with you on the inside, the perfect dream body just naturally falls into place.Your dream body is a result AND EFFECT of what you think on the inside. Getting a dream body won’t make you feel anymore sexy than you do right now. That’s a lie a culture has duped us into believing as a means to increase profit margins by selling you the next best diet pill or eating plan. I have confirmed this truth in my own pole dancing classes. There have been many beautiful women who come to class and they hate their bodies and appearances just as much as the girl who is 50lbs overweight.It’s time for a change; it’s time to change on the inside FIRST. Your body will come in alignment with that as you shift on the inside.That is my message to you today.That is the message I want you to remember when you are doing your pole dancing workouts.Be beauty now, it’s who you are……..Please remember to share this article, share the social love, and leave me a comment below!
