Vicki Green - Vertical Fitness

I have always been a genetically 'athletic looking' body shape, even when I wasn't particularly athletic. I didn't really consider exercise a valuable part of my life. However, around 7 years ago I broke both my elbows in a horse riding accident, and was told by doctors that I would struggle to get my arms completely straight, or support my own weight on them. I refused to accept this! When a friend of mine mentioned her new hobby of pole fitness, I knew that it could be a gentle way for me to introduce fitness and strength building back in to my life, and I've never looked back! Along with the amazing physical benefits, I never anticipated the social, emotional and psychological benefits that pole fitness brought in to my life. I highly recommend it as a completely accessible, total-body workout, but also as an amazing, social, confidence boosting activity!
