Importance of Warming
Up for Pole
Pole Power Academy - Kelly Morgan
Hey peeps so in today's session we're going to talk about the importance of warming up before jumping on the pole
Ugh I just hate the warm up, warm up is evil, that warm up was harsh! Have you said anything like this recently?
I'm hearing a lot of hate for the warm up so I thought let's talk about it so you know why they are important and how they can help you with your training.
When most people start, they do the warm up that they get taught in their studio class, some people just dance about and others who train at home have often said they skip the warm up completely... gah! I know this can be from not knowing what to do but also becuase they don't enjoy it. But you don't know what you don't know, so lets get stuck in and maybe (finger crossed) you'll start to love the warm ups and see them in a new light.
It's good when you first start to have a warm up routine that you stick to and can remember each time you train. However, as you progress through levels, it is important to incorporate different techniques to help you train for the more advanced skills you are about to learn.
This is why knowing what you are going to learn by having a plan is beneficial, so you know what you need to warm up for. If you follow our structured lessons, we've done all the planning for you and have included a suitable warm up. (Now you know why they can be different)
If your body hasn't done a thorough warm up, it can be prone to all kinds of injuries. Just because you are warm on the outside, doesn't mean your muscles are warm enough for what you want them to do in your lesson.
Not only do you want the warm up to be beneficial to nail the tricks you want to learn, it can be a great way to rehab any previous injuries or prevent any common injuries that can occur from wear and tear of training.
If you commonly strain a muscle, it maybe time to reevaluate your warm up and ensure you are incorporating exercises that can target the area to reduce the changes of continued straining.
Your warm up should be intentional, one that has a purpose. So what should be included?
Listed below are just a few exercises you could include.
Begin with joint mobilisation. This includes:
Start increasing heart rate
Progress onto dynamic movement.
Into strength based work, especially core
A warm up for pole shouldn't take any less than 10mins, if it does, it's likely you haven't done enough.
Think about what you are going to be doing in your session and you'll be able to adapt the dynamic movement and strength exercises specific to suit
