Absolutely! Polates is a great activity for people of all fitness levels, regardless of their current strength or fitness level. In fact, many individuals start pole dancing without any prior strength or fitness background and gradually build their strength and abilities over time.
Here are a few reasons why you can still try Polates, even if you’re not currently strong or fit:
- Progressive Nature: Polates is a progressive activity that allows you to start at your own level and gradually progress as you build strength, flexibility, and skill. You don’t need to be strong or fit from the beginning. Regular practice and consistent training will help you develop the required strength and fitness over time.
- Building Strength: Polates is an excellent way to build strength, particularly in your upper body, core, and legs. As you engage in Polates exercises and routines, you’ll gradually develop muscle strength and endurance. Polates itself becomes a means of building strength.
- Modified Exercises: Qualified Pole Dancing/ Pilates instructors can provide modifications and variations of exercises to accommodate different fitness levels. They can guide you through exercises and routines that are suitable for your current abilities and gradually introduce more challenging moves as you progress.
- Fun and Motivation: Polates is a fun and engaging activity that can help motivate you to improve your fitness level. The joy of learning new moves, the sense of accomplishment as you achieve your goals, and the supportive community in many pole dancing studios can contribute to your overall motivation and enjoyment of the practice.
Remember, everyone starts from a different point in their fitness journey, and Polates can be tailored to your individual needs and abilities. As you consistently engage in pole dancing, you will gradually build strength, improve your fitness level, and develop new skills. Be patient with yourself, listen to your body, and enjoy the process of growth and self-discovery that pole dancing offers.
