Free Pole Exercises
Pole Exercises for Strength & Toning Do you own this DVD? Are you looking for your free workout routines? Click to download them here!
Pole dancing is tons of fun, we all know that! But did you know that you can use your dance pole as a vertical home gym to help build the strength you'll need to do all those spins and lifts safely?
It's true! In fact, I started getting so many questions about pole exercises that I decided to make a DVD that focuses solely on strength & toning exercises for pole dancing (that's it just above). I'll tell you more about the DVD later if you're interested, but first I wanted to share a few of my favourite exercises with you so you can get a feel for what I'm talking about. Just click on any exercise below to see full instructions, more photos and safety tips. The exercises shown below are generally safe for most people in reasonable physical condition. However, as much as I hope common sense will prevail, here's my disclaimer.
OK, ready? Here we go!

Click to see the Sitting Pole Up exercise Level: BeginnerThis is a great way to start to build the strength needed for lifts, holds and spins. Once you can do a few sets of these, you can graduate to the kneeling and standing versions for more challenge.

Click to see the Pole Lunge exercise. Level: Intermediate to AdvancedAn excellent exercise for strengthening your glutes (butt muscles). I tell my students, "if you don't feel these the next day, call me, because something is definitely wrong!"

Click to see the Pole Knee Lift exercise Level: IntermediateThis one builds both upper body and core strength, something you'll need a lot of as you start to learn some of the more difficult tricks and lifts.
