It's not always easy to fall in love with exercise, so we're going to offer you some valuable tips to achieve this.

Try something new.  It isn't always fun to do the exact same thing, the same way, everyday.  It's even more difficult if you don't like the activity in the first place.  Start by signing up for a class or two you've never tried.  It will reduce boredom because your body and mind experience new ways of moving.  You'll work different muscles and keep your body guessing.  

Exercise with a friend.  Whether your workout is new or not, it's always more fun doing it with someone else.  Shared experiences create deeper bonds and you have someone to laugh with.  You'll release more endorphins and reduce stress more than with the workout alone.

Set goals.  Goals can range from being able to do ten regular push-ups to wearing a slinky new dress.  The key is to set small goals that lead to the big one and never stop finding new ones to conquer.  They will drive you forward and your progression will advance.

Take notice of your body's changes.  When you started out, did you get winded 5-10 minutes into the warm-up?  How has that improved?  If you are consistent with your fitness, you'll see and feel your body changing.  Keep track of your progress with photos, measurements, and journaling.  You'll be surprised how much can change in as little as 2-4 weeks.

Discover new aspects about yourself.  Self-discovery is a major component to staying with fitness.  Pole dancing isn't just popular because it's fun.  Many women have found their self-esteem soar the more they do it, despite wearing less clothing.  You'll impress yourself with what your body becomes capable of and be proud of it.  

See your workout as personal time.  Why shouldn't your "me time" be a workout?  When you come to the studio, you get a wonderful social experience and laughter, all while keeping healthy.  Exercise outside of the studio, can also give you time to reflect on yourself without being interrupted, like biking on beautiful spring day.

Fitness connects your mind and body.  Staying tuned to your progress will make you more aware of how your body moves, what it needs, and how it should feel at rest or in motion.  Your movements will become much more conscious, even if you are doing something as simple as pushing a grocery cart.

Now it's time to call up that friend and try a new class!  We'll look forward to seeing you both!

 Pencil Spin

The Pencil Spin is a challenging spin that improves your upper body and core strength as you perfect it.  For beginners, just getting a little air under your feet is a wonderful start. Remember, it isn't a spin that gets several rotations around the pole like others do.  Demonstrated, in this video, are two grips on both a stationary pole and a spinning pole.  The grip depends on what you want to transition into from the spin.
