Our certified instructors will make you feel comfortable and welcome as they teach you classes in pole dancing. We will help you lose weight. Since I started pole dancing I have frequently been asked if it is a good way to lose weight. Pole Physique was founded to. How Soon Could You Lose a. Losing Weight With Pole- . Pole Dancing Obsession. One of the reasons I agreed to start pole dancing was because I heard it was a form of exercise. I’d done a few hens nights and birthday parties here and there so I knew it could be fun, but I never really knew to what extent the fun would go while getting fit too. ![]() ![]() 8 Kinds of Dance That Help You Lose Weight. Will belly dancing help you lose weight? But don't just pay your money into the program and assume that will magically help you lose weight. Can Dancing for 30 Minutes a Day Help You Lose Weight? How much you lose depends on your weight. ![]() I remember in the first few classes in beginners, Cleo told us that she had lost 6kg from pole and that the trick was to get obsessed with it. Well, obviously I have taken that advice to heart . When I say that, it shocks a lot of people because if you were to look at me with clothes on, you wouldn’t think I had that much to lose, but I hide it well with baggy clothes and I’m always holding in my stomach. When I was younger I went to a sports high school so I used to row. I trained 4 hours a day and ate like a horse. I had no fat on me and was ripped. I had abs and all my muscles were defined. When I left school, found alcohol and became sedentary, I put on just over 3. I became very fat, and very unhappy. It took my family continually teasing me about my weight to finally do something about it, and I lost the 3. Between then and now I lost it again and put on a fair bit of weight, so now is the time that I’d like to get back down to the ripped version of myself, which means losing another 1. The biggest issue with losing weight is that once you get fat, the new fat cells are there and even if you lose weight, they will always be there. They never disappear, they just shrink. So if you lose the weight, it’s going to be much easier to put it back on again, so you need to continue working for it once you’re done. If you lose weight too quickly, it doesn’t give the fat cells time to shrink and it’s much easier and a lot faster to put weight back on. You’re probably wondering where this is all going? I’m going to tell you how I’m going to lose the weight (as I did before) and hopefully give you guys some motivation to lose a few kgs if you’ve been wanting to. First thing – losing weight is mostly about diet. The average sedentary woman burns 1. If you are burning more calories than you’re eating, you will lose weight. Here is where it gets tricky. If you under eat, you will put your body into starvation mode and you will not lose weight. The minimum amount of calories a woman should eat per day to still stay healthy is 1. If you eat under that, your body will go into starvation mode, your metabolism will slow down, and you will not lose weight. Your body will store everything it consumes. Second thing – calories out. This doesn’t mean that you have to burn 1. So here’s the trick – deficit in calories you’re eating plus exercise = shedding kilos. The easiest way to lose 1kg per week is to eat 1. This means that your diet is in deficit of 5. After a week, that’s 1kg.“I don’t have time to count calories” is what I just heard about 9. Yes you do. There are 2 of the easiest ways to do this that will make you wonder why you never did this before. When I look at the back of the pack of what I’m eating for nutritional information, I just simply divide the kj by 4. I always think it’s better to overestimate than underestimate. Next thing, most people have a smart phone these days. There is an app called “My Fitness Pal” which is free for iphone, android. This application tells you exactly how many calories to eat each day by allowing you to find the food you ate and it automatically calculates the calories for you. It also allows you to scan the barcode of what you’ve eaten in case you don’t want to search for it in the app which I find saves a lot of time. It keeps track of your weight, your measurements (if you put them in) and tells you at the end of each day how much you will weigh in 5 weeks if every day was the same as the day you had. I find that this is a major motivator for me. The best thing about this app is that is syncs with the web straight away. Don’t have a smart phone? Most of us are at a computer every day and they have a website where you can do all this at www. So there really is no excuse for why you can’t count your calories and track what you’re putting into your mouth and getting out of your body. The very best thing about tracking what you’re eating is that you get to see how many calories everything is. I can tell you that this was a HUGE eye opener for me because there are things you’d think are very good for you that are not and vice versa. You may think that salad you’re eating is good for you, but on occasion you’d be better off eating a deep fried chicken schnitzel burger. Once you see how good and how bad things are for you, you will totally change the way you eat. So there you go. That’s how I’m going to do it. Our gym just opened up in our building at home, so I have been going to the gym at 6am 3- 4 times per week. I’ve also been going to pole classes twice a week and training for pole 2- 3 times a week. This week I lost a kilo. A few other things that will help – don’t just do cardio. Try to get some weights in there too, because the more muscle mass you have, the more calories you burn when you are sedentary. Do yourself a favour and buy a heart rate monitor. You can get them with a soft strap so that you can wear them during your pole class – it fits just under the elastic of your sports bra. I wore mine tonight and all throughout the class we monitored how many calories I had burnt. At the end of the class, warm up to cool down, I had burnt 5. We were all very surprised. Lastly, weigh yourself first thing in the morning (after you go to the loo) with no clothes on. This will give you a better indication of your weight loss. If you weigh yourself in the evening after a full day of eating, you will see inconsistent results. You can do it too! If you think you don’t have time for exercise, start by a deficit in your calorie intake. Once you see the kilos start dropping off, you will change your mindset and WANT to exercise. I hope I’ve given you some inspiration! How to Lose 1. 0 Pounds by Dancing / Fitness / Weight Loss. You can lose ten pounds just by adding dancing to your life. It will require careful food monitoring, picking your moves carefully, music selection, managing your time, and planning a dance routine. It's important to remember that everyone's body is different, so you might lose weight slightly faster or slightly slower than someone else. Your weight loss will also depend on how much weight you have to lose. People with a higher body mass index or BMI are more likely to lose closer to 2- 3 pounds a week whereas a person with a lower BMI or of older age may only lose 1- 1. Here is a way to lose 1. Food Monitoring. It's important to avoid increasing your caloric intake when you start your dancing exercise program. If you add more calories, you'll either maintain or gain weight. Your body might want more calories because you'll be increasing your metabolism. You can count calories and use measuring cups and spoons or you can just make a log of exactly what you are eating and then replicate it in the weeks following. You can also focus on food groups and food exchanges to track your calories while eying amounts instead of measuring them. An ounce of chicken, for instance, is about the size of a deck of cards. Managing Dance Time. To lose weight by dancing, you should strive for at least 2. You should start with a 5 minute warm- up and end with a 5 minute cool- down which means 3. Rather than watching the clock, manage your time through music as described in the next section. Set an alarm for your total dancing time on your cell phone or a clock that you can then hide. It will make the time go faster. Calorie Burning Dance Moves. The key to burning calories is to move your whole body. The best dance moves include the old standby move of a step with one foot and then bringing the other foot next to the first one and then going the opposite way. Add arm movements that go at least up to the shoulders and your heart will start pumping. You can also jog around the room. You'll be surprised how tired you get if you have your legs shoulder width apart and you just twist and alternate bending each leg with your arms doing the washing machine rotation movement at chest level. If you mix in leg lifts and knee lifts bringing your opposite elbow to the knee, you're really working your legs and abs. Then it's all about creativity and keeping moving. You can just gyrate and swing your arms like a mad person. No one needs to see you. Music Selection. First find a free online metronome so you can determine music speeds. You can click on a certain number on the metronome and that should be the basic beat of the song. For your warm- up and cool down, you'll want music that's around 8. For your 2. 0- minute full aerobic time, choose music that has a metronome marking between 1. Pick music you love that makes you feel happy.
