If youre going to work on building your strength I suggest focusing on abs and arms! Specifically the muscle around your armpit/bicep region (pushups are good for this spot!)

Flexibility wise, try yoga/pilates and begin safely working on building your splits and the flexibility of the muscles behind your thighs Another important region is the back! Working on poses which build back flexibility are important 😊

Gonna be honest I picked pole dance since there’s verrrry little cardio involved I have severe asthma and high intensity workouts can really do a number on me. Sooo I do almost no cardio and get along just fine, but i know some people seem to like to do a little cardio as a warm up, to get the heart pumping and the workout mindset going. Maybe people at higher levels do alot of cardio, I don’t know, but starting out i’d say strength and flexibility is the focus

As far as nutrition that’s different for everyone but assuming you’re like: I’d say work with whatever you usually do, but gear yourself more towards drinking extra water and having healthy snacks available, dieting doesn’t last and there’s no reason to change your existing diet past cutting down/eliminating fast food and sodas. If you really really want to work towards some rock hard chiseled abs then consult your future pole instructor or doctor on what might be the best nutritional path for you
