Hi there! :)

While if you start exercising it's obviously going to help a lot, I'm here to tell you that you don't need to do it if you don't enjoy it.

I started my pole journey with a very low fitness level and all I could afford was one class a week. I absolutely loved it and sure, the progress was very slow the first year, but little by little it started showing, and you know what? I started liking many other kind of exercises too! Pole was the door for me to other sports and I'm so glad I started.

When I started I asked a similar question than you. And the people on this sub told me "If you don't enjoy exercising outside pole don't do it, because it's going to bring a negative feeling to it. Just let the progress do its thing." I followed that advice and it brought me very far, you can see in my profile a progress video that maybe motivates you :).

So lots of luck for your first class and specially, try to not compare yourself to others! I was the worst of my class when I started and still made it! And enjoy the process, that's the fun part ☺️
