Pole Dance your Way to a Happy and Confident New You!

[Back]

Polestars team up with pole dancing instructor & nutrition advisor Joanna Wright to bring you an achievable diet, exercise plan and advice for leading a healthy lifestyle and attaining complete body satisfaction to last a lifetime!

The perfect combination of fun and fitness, pole dancing is a great way to tone up, increase fitness and gain self confidence;  you will feel empowered, sexy and able to achieve anything! 

Fitness instructor Joanna Wright, aged 24 from London, offers her tips - by making small changes to your life, you can achieve a sensible weight and maintain it throughout your daily routine in manageable ways.  Having a happy and healthy lifestyle which you can maintain is not about depriving yourself.  Joanna believes that by having everything in moderation, and doing activities which you enjoy (no slogging it out at a dull gym!), you too can adapt your life and a get a pole fit body to be proud of.

Here's a typical week in Joanna's life which leaves her full of energy, self confidence and with the size 10 figure she desires!

Of course diet is vital for a healthy lifestyle and Joanna has written a special Polestars diet plan which, when combined with lots of pole dancing, will guarantee a more toned and slimmer body!

I believe that by eating healthy meals and not depriving yourself of anything then your body will not think it is starving.  If you do not eat enough then your body will hold onto fat.  You need to train it to use food as energy by eating regularly and giving your body nutritious fuel.  Partake in fun activities regularly and your calorie expenditure will rise rapidly!

Remember this is about making lifelong changes, not another yo-yo diet! Find an activity you enjoy and stick to it, then reward yourself with delicious fresh, healthy meals to feed your tired limbs!

More Tips:

• Avoid eating as a response to emotion - Polestars helps this as it lifts mood & prevents you from sitting in front of TV stuffing down more ice-cream!
• Eat healthy food not less food, otherwise your metabolism will slow down and weight will be gained.
• Polestars helps you to appreciate your own sexiness and attractiveness, rather than always looking at stars and striving for unattainable goals which only lead to disappointment

More about Polestars classes.

POLESTAR classes guarantee a unique, fun, girly class atmosphere which all start with an industry standard aerobics session consisting of a warm up section. Once warmed up and ready to start, the class moves on to the pole dancing which develops endurance, strength, power, stamina and mobility especially in the upper body areas. If that's not enough there are plenty more health benefits to be reaped from participating in the class, such as reduced risk of coronary disease, decrease in blood pressure, body fat, cholesterol and increase in bone density. Remember ladies, exercise releases endorphins which make us feel good and help to mobilise positive thinking. So throw your stiletto heels on and have yourself a sexy spin!

By finding a new hobby that you enjoy, you will be desperate to keep practicing and improving your skills. Your active lifestyle will soon become second nature! Polestars pole dancing lessons are the perfect new hobby as not only do they improve fitness levels, but also make students feel sexy and empowered!

So get yourself booked on a pole dancing course, follow Joanna's diet tips and daily routine activities, and you too could be making confidence & lifestyle changes to last forever!
