Cold weather, freezing temperatures and the bare skin of a pole dancer do not mix well.
Do you know what else is Cold? Metal. Metal is cold in winter. You know, the material that your pole is made from? Yeah, it’s absolutely freezing.
If you’ve yet to experience the feeling of your shivering bare leg pressed up against an even colder metal pole, then you’re in for a treat this winter. Not.
1. Warm Yourself Up
You should definitely warm yourself up before your pole workouts. You should be doing this all the time! During winter months, warm yourself up gradually and make sure you’re warm before you go anywhere near the pole.
2. Wear Warm Clothes (During The Warm-Up)
Don’t strip off straight away! Wear a pair of leggings and a long sleeve top during your warm-up so the cold is less of a shock when you jump on the pole 🙂
You don’t have to have such a shock when you remove your clothes to start poling!
3. High Energy Intervals
If you start to feel a chill mid-workout, or you feel your energy levels drop, then throw in a 5 minute high-energy burst of intensity to your workout! It will help keep you warm and will be good for your overall fitness to incorporate high energy intervals into your workouts!
4. Take A Shower Or Hot Bath Afterwards
You should do this as soon as possible after your workout, as muscle stiffness is increased during cold weather. Having a bath or shower adfterwards helps relieve any muscle pain.
So, those are our tips for pole dancing in winter, what are yours?
Happy poling!
