Never Underestimate The Pole

Last nights pole fit session was the last in the 6 week course, and we learnt a dance routine to Rihanna's Rude Boy. For most of session I felt physically sick, and I'm still not 100% sure what I'm putting it down to. Could either have been the KFC playing tricks in my tummy, dancing around the pole more than usual or seeing Kat catch her knee doing a practice spin and having to spend the whole session sat out!

I'm putting it down to seeing Kat catching her knee on the pole! I could see it hurt, never mind what she must have felt, poor Kat! It's easy to forget how dangerous pole fit can be, especially when you're having so much fun. 

There's videos on YouTube of different things going wrong. On this one (the fact it's not in English is irrelevant; we can still see what happens!) The instructor is showing the pole fitty how to do a move, which as you can see, goes horribly wrong. This next one shows what can happen if your pole isn't installed properly. Ouch!

Last year I attempted a one handed spin, basically spun around the pole one-handed, and pulled a muscle. It hurt, ALOT.

So this is my word of warning:- Be careful!

    banging your knee on the pole is not a good idea! i have only done it lightly which hurts enough!! im glad your arm fixed itself quickly though so you could get back on the pole :) i managed to chip a bone in my finger after i slid down and landed awkwardly on my hand and i damaged a tendon in my arm by learning stuff before i had the strength to do it! the lesson i learnt is not to do stuff until you're ready!
