MuReview: Pole Dance Fitness: The Complete Book
MuReview: Pole Dance Fitness: The Complete Book by Irina Kartaly (2018)
5/5 stars, strongly recommend for anyone interested in movement and health work. Stretching diagrams! Recipes!
We're very pleased with this thick paper book and think the title is justified. It's quite complete and while it can't cover everything in depth it covers many things very well while repeatedly urging the challenger to seek out a qualified instructor and follow safety guidelines.
In many ways PDFTCB is our new favourite health and fitness book! Besides the detailed coverage of pole fitness movement and tricks, there are detailed diagrams of stretches for every muscle group for both warm-up and cool down. I was delighted to find diagrams and names (!) for stretches I have picked up from videos and books somewhere along the way.
The nutritionist's section (!) includes not just good guidance about nutrients, energy, and muscles but a large set of recipes for the day of, just before, and after exercises sessions. Some of them look very tasty and I want to try them out!
We bought this book to try and learn a little bit about pole work and what kind of exercise it is as we consider adding it to our collection of hobbies. We're quite pleased with the detailed background, emphasis on safety and the extensive selection of moves and tricks that are the core of this volume, but if I'd known how well the book describes and names stretches I might have bought it for that. Or for the recipes!
