For the last year I’ve been training with the amazing Charlotte Robertson, UKPPC Elite Category Winner 2015. She’s helped me so much… I’m still in awe of her handstands!

Resistance Bands & Flips
Resistance Bands & Flips I’ve got 5 exercises to show you using a resistance band. They are really quick and easy to do – all you need is a resistance band. You can put them all together to make a great full body workout.
Pole Strength Training
I wanted to take you through a typical strength training session that I do for pole.
Pole Grip Aides
Here is my collection of grip aides that I have acquired over the years. I try to pole for as long as I can without grip and turn to it if necessary. I know others tend to favour using grips which is absolutely fine. I have tried most of them and definitely have my favourites.
