How to Pole Dance for Fitness : The Martini Move in Pole Dancing Exercise

[TravLava]

thats not a martini, thats a fireman with a straightened leg.

[KautoProductions]

I'm getting a pole. Have some videos of me dancing- currently a size 18 /20 and dancing to get fit and lose weight. Going to invest in a pole for sure xxx

[Vampirae69]

@KautoProductions the question is: where do you buy a pole? :)))))))))))

[smadon1]

Pole dance fitness is interpreted by so many now, that naturally, moves will be called a variety of names. All the more rich fabric for the newest worldwide industry, thanks to Sheila Kelley, founder of pole dance fitness.

[jtlangel]

wow pole dancing has kept her looking young 

[olavarria73]

shoes and long trousers? that's strange.....



[deisels]

She makes it look so easy!

[lunaserafine]

Every studio has different names for moves, i learned this one as the martini spin although it is a variation of the fireman spin. this one you just put one leg straight out. There is also the french fireman, standing fireman ect.. lots of variations on moves :)

[lunaserafine]

one of my favorite spins <3

[DrGraceG]

You need to do something with the microphone :(

[MickScarborough]

There is no way to pole dance and not look like a hooker.

[DancerYaz]

@MickScarborough there are actually, poledancing competitions and classes aren't there to be slutty but to show off incredibly difficult and adventurous techniques. Its great fun and intense exercise, strippers and whores just give it a VERY bad image.

[TwilightLuver216]

@DancerYaz This is random but it does seem like learning to pole dance would be just a fun thing to do and make would also make you feel a little sexier :)

[xXBambiHuntXx]

She needs to go to another pole, That one is distracting.

[jamesklosowski]

You're too old to be a stripper... fuckin' ugly ass bitch ROFL

[lottieooo1]

we call that fireman extended

[bekkbekk90]

@lottieooo1 that's because it IS an extended fireman lol - i'm not sure where they get all these weird names for the same moves.

[bukkinfubble123]

what is the squeaking??

[1QUEENRA]

My instructor calls this one the "Rockette" and I am inclined to agree with her

[harlowjinx]

those poles are soooo thick!

[starfish715]

my teacher calls this one the "kitten" not the martini. maybe kitten is the english name for it?

[shae517]

She makes it look easy but the pole is rude... I was scared it was going to break... they should have that checked!

[SashaSpy91]

I know! It needs some examination. I'm a stripper and I would NOT get on a pole like that. It's also a fixed pole; I hate those. The spinning poles allow for much flashier stuff with more speed.

[curvygirl1123]

can you tell me please were i can get the poles you are talking about ?

[SashaSpy91]

There are a lot of places that sell them. Some adult stores will, Spencer's usually has them for around $100 or so. Try to get one that anchors in the ceiling, though; they'll be more stable and probably taller. The poles we have at work spin and they're about 25 feet tall. They're fantastic. I'm sure you can also find them online.

[MissLostprophets]

the fireman ^^ right?

[laurenjoannadear]

it looks like it would hurt your hand a lot... =S

want to learn this as ive been told its a great way to keep fit, but am worried about wearing down my hands..

[MissLostprophets]

I do poledancing, its not THAT hard... plus you only hurt your hands when you go on for too long. I do poledancing for about 2 hours a week. I make sure my hands get enough rest inbetween practices. then its fine

[tallkate7]

OMG that pole looks like it's going to crash down. Too bad, because the instructor is actually very good, the scary pole is distracting.

[MidnightSakura1]

I think it's supported high in the ceiling rather than pressured like at home. But yeah that would scare me if it wobbled even if it was supported I'd still get nervous

[lunazulaelise]

@tallkate7 Nah, poles tend to do that when they're warm (like getting warped)

She's fine :)

[sugursweet]

thanks babe i learned loads your so cool

[sugursweet]

thanks it helped me so much babe

[Trena543]

Squeaky pole?

[tessalina]

I know! In a lot of her vids people are commenting on her pole. I thought it was the floor...

[hermione802002]

I call it the dainty fireman. i noticed that the pole was squeaky. weird.

[Nstynurse]

Pretty squeaky pole.. what kind is it??? :}

I've always called that one the skater spin.. but I like the Martini better.. :)

[poledancingVdubber]

Wow, this one looks great and I cant wait to get over my flu and try it, I love this instructor and have subscribed. Thank you for the great lessons and keep them coming! GREAT!!

[mandagi]

all your videos are awesome!

[Megara]

It's a lot harder than it seems...

[XXnukleopatraXX]

I like this insructor best

[all4mj]

thanks for the great instruction, but the first time I heard that pole groaning and squeeking, my heart was doing flutters... glad mine doesn't do that!

[nijntje86]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[organicjuice]
