Pole dancing during pregnancy is an excellent way for you to stay active and feel confident. Practitioners agree it's fine to continue a consistent level of exercise during pregnancy. Mid-impact exercise can contribute to a healthy pregnancy and could help you post-recovery. Make sure to practice with caution and remember to allow yourself to rest when required. If you’re wondering how to stay safe pole dancing during pregnancy, find out more below with Lush Motion.

 





Seek Medical Advice

Before continuing Pole Dance, you should seek medical advice from your doctor. Explain to your doctor what your Pole Dance workout involves. You could show them a video of what you used to do before your pregnancy. Your doctor will be able to assess the level of exercise you'd like to continue. It’s generally agreed you should avoid Pole Dance in the first trimester of your pregnancy. Afterwards, it should be possible to continue your normal exercise routine with adjustments. Always consult with your doctor before continuing with your training.

Listen to your body

Here at Lush Motion, we believe each body is unique. This means some people will be able to Pole Dance close to their due date. Whereas, others may find they need to stop several months before. Pole Dance requires a lot of abdominal control so it’s essential to listen to your body. You should lower the intensity of your workout. Alternatively, you could focus on staying active in general with a range of our online Prenatal classes. If you feel like it’s time to take a break from Pole Dance, don’t hesitate! Your body will tell you when it’s had enough.

Understand your Limits

If you receive the go-ahead from your doctor, it’s still essential to pay attention to how you feel when exercising. You shouldn’t overexert yourself. Pole dancing during pregnancy can be controversial due to the potential dangers. Lush Motion founder, Tatjana recommends listening to your body when stretching while pregnant. She found with her pregnancy, it was possible to (carefully) maintain the flexibility she already had with a range of Flexibility classes.

Change your workout routine

Depending on which trimester you’re on, you may find certain moves are ruled out from your workout. Pregnancy can throw off your balance, increasing your risk of injury. That’s why it’s recommended to avoid inverts, flips and climbing. Take plenty of time to warm up and take breaks when it’s needed. Change your workout routine to include more cardio (such as our floor work choreos with adjustments). Or, you could attend a lower level of Pole Dance class. This means you’ll still get a great workout without the risk of overexerting yourself.

Acceptance

As you progress in your pregnancy, you’ll find yourself struggling with how your body is changing. Physical symptoms like morning sickness can put Pole Dance to the bottom of your to-do list. You'll need to change your workouts as your sense of balance shifts throughout your pregnancy. Try to see this as an opportunity to embrace change and nurture your body. Start slowly and focus on maintaining staying active.

Conclusion

Exercise during pregnancy is not only about physical well being but also emotional. It’s about keeping active and feeling confident as your body changes. Remember to be kind to yourself throughout your pregnancy. When you’re ready to return to your fitness goals, Lush Motion will be here for you.
