Maintaining your pole fitness motivation during the winter can be a challenge. With cold weather and shorter days, it's tempting to put your pole workouts on hold. However, by implementing a few strategies, you can stay motivated and continue progressing in your pole fitness journey. Here are five tips to help you stay motivated during the winter months:
Set Winter-Specific Goals: Adjust your pole & aerial goals to align with the winter season. Focus on strength-building exercises, mastering specific moves, or improving flexibility. Setting attainable goals that are specific to winter will keep you motivated.
Spice Up Your Workouts: Add variety to your pole & aerial workouts to avoid monotony. Explore different flex or dance styles like Sensual Flow or focus on Fierce Flow for floorwork or try a whole new apparatus with the Silks & Lyra Basics. Incorporate new spins, tricks, or transitions into your repertoire. Freestyle sessions can also unleash creativity and make your workouts more enjoyable.
