RE: Pole Dance: Leg Switches - Conquered!
Pole dancing is like hool-a-hooping except you are the Frisbee, the hoop, the horse shoe, and you are like surfing around the pole. It must take a lot of strength but also balance and momentum. I play basketball, and I don't know much about this, but I can see that I would probably get dizzy.
Ha! I've felt like the horseshoe before when I didn't have enough grip with thr pole while really going for a spin.
I had figure skated too and people frequently brought up dizziness but I think it makes a difference in your perception when you tell yourself "time to spin in three circles"
@thedreamsteem, perception is definitely key! I found that I stopped getting dizzy on the regular when I stopped focusing on the fact that I was spinning and instead concentrated on things like pointing my toes and really engaging all of the muscles I needed to properly. :)
Right, good, we can prepare and adjust to the spins.
Hahaha. I like that description @joeyarnoldvn. That's pretty accurate. Doing moves on spin mode can actually help in some cases if you can use the momentum to your advantage, but it does make some things much harder. Good strength training in any case! You actually do get used to the spinning with time and practice, so I don't really get dizzy anymore. :)
Awesome. Good work. Amazing.
