Ep #37: Should pole & dance athletes do OrangeTheory?
OrangeTheory and other circuit training style classes have benefits and detriments. Here are the specific variables to consider when discerning if these classes are right for your pole and dance goals:
-The "chronic underload issue" in pole and dance athletes
-Combo moves and their effect on force vectors
-Correct rest intervals for strength
-Programming heavier lifts
-Load management for gigs, class, and performance
