4 ways to maintain your pole grip

  • August 29, 2014

  • Seasons Pole Fitness

If you have ever considered taking a class for pole dancing fitness, you should definitely give the lessons a few tries! Not only is it a great way to make you feel sexy and boost your self-esteem, it is also a wonderful workout. Those who pole dance regularly will be able to tell you the great things it has done for the core of their body and upper arm strength. The best thing about those classes is that they are offered to anybody, regardless of experience or skill level. Don't be afraid to give it a try and experience something totally new and exciting!

Of course, there will be a few things that you need to know before you hop on the pole and start twisting around. A few basics will allow you to walk into the class with confidence, as you will be prepared to pole dance as well as you possibly can. One of the major issues that women experience when it comes to this activity is being able to properly maintain a strong grip on the pole itself. Not only will this hinder your ability to dance well, it can also present serious risks to your physical well-being. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to counteract this problem.

Here are a few tips for successfully staying on the pole:

  • Clean the pole and yourself: Throughout the class, you are going to be sweating up a storm, just as you would in a more traditional workout. After a while, the pole is going to be covered in a thin layer of your fluids, so you need to regularly clean it and your hands off. Just be sure that you don't use any strong washing substances, as that will also make it too difficult for you to grip the pole!
  • Don't moisturize: Before you leave for the gym, don't put any kind of lotion or moisturizers on your hands. They will seep into the skin and make it nearly impossible for you to maintain a strong grip. Think of it in the same way you would with a doorknob – the metal will make it impossible for you to lock in. The chemicals from any body gels or other products will leave a residue for up to 12 hours, so they need to be avoided half a day before the class.
  • Incorporate products: Especially when you are first starting out, you will need all of the help and guidance that you can get. Before getting on the pole, you should first invest in some different hand materials – such as liquid chalk or hairspray – that you can put on your hands and keep your body moving around.
  • Use vinyl heels: If you are in the more advanced classes, you might find that you are doing work with your feet as well as with your hands. This is fine as long as you have the kind of shoes that will allow you to safely hold onto the pole. Anything made of vinyl or plastic will work very well, as the composition of the footwear will allow you to hang on even when you aren't using your hands. Just be sure not to try any advanced moves before you have successfully mastered the basics.
