Holidays can be a challenge for anyone trying to stay fit and healthy. Between the temptations of family, friends, food, alcohol, and all of the activities that come with the season, staying on track can be a struggle especially for those who tend to overindulge. So, how can we burn off holiday calories and rebuild our fitness routines as pole and aerial dancers? Here are a few tips to get you started:

Pole and Aerial Fitness

Pole and Aerials are a great way to burn calories and lose weight. Depending on the type of pole and aerial dance you choose, you can burn anywhere from 200-600 calories per hour. This makes aerial and pole fitness a great choice for anyone looking to get back in shape after the holidays.

In addition to burning calories, aerial and pole arts are a great way to build strength and tone your muscles. As you progress in your aerial and pole fitness practice, you’ll notice that your muscles become stronger and more toned. This is great for overall fitness, as well as giving you the confidence to take on new challenges. 

Tips for Getting Back on track for Pole and Aerial Dancers

1. Start slow.

Don’t try to jump into an advanced class right away. Start with a lower level class and work your way up. This will give your body time to adjust to the new movements and prevent injuries.

2. Stay hydrated.

Keeping your body hydrated will help you stay energised and prevent fatigue. Keep track of your water intake with a bottle that has measurements on it. You can easily monitor how much you have consumed and make sure you are getting enough fluids. This can help you stay energised and avoid dehydration, which can affect your performance and overall health.

3. Set specific goals.

4. Incorporate variety.

To keep things interesting and avoid boredom, try to mix up your workouts. Incorporate different activities, such as cardio, strength training, and stretching, into your routine. This will help you work different muscle groups and keep your body guessing. 

5. Be consistent.

Don’t skip workouts or classes. Make sure to stick to your schedule and attend all of your classes. This will help you stay on track and make progress. 

6. Find a workout buddy.
