Sarnia de la MaréHostI personally love pole fitness as a way to keep my arms and core strong for playing my string instruments.
Recently I have been struck down with extreme nausea, probably due to faster spins, more ability to prolong lifts etc., and of course natural aging.
The important thing is not to push through nausea as it has a negative impact on brain processing and can make things worse.
Here is a program for coping and curing the dreaded sickness which can be applied to other fitness activities that mean the body and inner ear are being pushed to extremes.
Vestibular adaptation is the process of training your brain to keep vision and balance stable while the inner ear is being spun, inverted, or stopped suddenly.
For a pull, you want three things working together, gaze stability, eyes stay clear while the head moves, habituation, the nausea response shrinks with repeated, controlled exposure, and graded spin practice, so the pull itself becomes the training stimulus instead of a trigger.
Stop if you get true spinning vertigo, hearing changes, severe headache, or symptoms that last hours.
Repeating nausea can condition the brain to associate the pull with illness.
Expect two to six weeks of consistent work before spin tolerance clearly changes.
Gate Stabilization This retrains the vestibulo-ocular reflex so your eyes compensate when your head moves.
Set Up Hold a card with one letter at arm's length, or pick a small mark on the wall.
