About the fireman
The fireman is a great first exercise to learn. (In fact I felt I had to start with the fireman as it just feels wrong for me to start teaching with anything else!) The fireman is a simple but elegant spin with the thighs gripping the pole.
In detail
- Place dominant hand high on the pole and other just below.
- Jump onto the pole so that your thighs now grip the pole. Squeeze!
- That’s the basic move; now we just need to add the spin. Begin to walk around the pole and, when you’re ready, place both hands on the pole, jump into the squat and spin!
In action
Top tips
- The more you squeeze your legs, the slower you will spin
- Start gently at first, slowly building speed (and confidence) with each spin
- Keep a strong grip and focus on getting the squat on the pole straight away
Find this move and 65 others on the Pole Exercise DVD.
