Healthy Body Tuesday
Cramping! We all get them every now and again, but I think the biggest complaint I hear from students is the foot cramps. These can be painful and annoying when trying to spin and even more inconvenient when you are hanging upside down!
There are tons of things that cause cramping, the main things for pole dance are: dehydration (low electrolytes), your feet aren’t stretch
ed out and warmed up, and poor circulation. I can easily help with 2 out of the 3; the last one circulation is a topic you should discuss with your doctor or nutritionist.
Not hydrated?! For some people it’s just not enough to drink a ton of water during classes. Make sure you have adequate liquid intake the day of class; then consider if this isn’t enough drinking something high in electrolytes for class or eating more foods with potassium i.e. banana’s and zucchini!
Feet not getting warmed up properly?! Easy enough stand with your legs hips distance apart, work all of the little muscles and bones in your feet by rolling one foot at a time to point then pressing it down into the ground slowly to flex your foot. You can always work on a slow point and flex from sitting.
Most of all give your feet some LOVE! Soak them, massage them, or find someone to do it for you ;)
