I JUST started pole in March 2021, so I'm a total beginner. I was 49 when I started, 50 now. ANYONE can do pole (albeit maybe not as elite as this lady). It doesn't matter your size, age, gender. It's the most challenging thing I've ever done, and I've done every workout out there in my 5 decades of life! Including being a competitive martial artist, 1st degree black belt. I completely dropped martial arts for pole. It's renound for being a super inclusive, accepting, encouraging community! It's so so hard, a lot of pain and permanent bruises on the body (I'm sure people think my husband abuses me). Yet, I can't see ever stopping, unless I get a terrible injury (please NO) Anyway, if you are considering it, I don't care if you're overweight, middle age, or anything else, please give it a try!
I love your post, thank you for the encouragement! I'm a pole beginner at 36 and I have fallen in love with it too, never tried any other sports apart from yoga and jogging! You are 100% right! Godspeed 💜
Thank you for posting this!! I am 50 and started taking pole dance lessons a few weeks ago. It's quite daunting with all those young women in the class. That's why I am so happy reading your post. I have no martial artist background unfortunately nor am I gymnast, so that does worry. But I am slim build and sporty and above all I just LOVE the pole dancing lessons. I am hooked! So thank you very much for the encouragement! Wish you well!
