Exercise?

Maybe it's good that I cackhanded (yorkshire term lol) ambidextrous to seriuos ppl... YEY!
Ensures boobies stay even. lol

You know, I swim so much and my upper body is in such good shape that I can't get a decent workout from poi. Yeah, my heart rate can go up, but it comes back down after less than a minute of stopping.

Besides, poi works your wrists and your upper arms, but it doesn't do much for your pectorals, latissimus dorsii, or trunk muscles.

mmm, I've found poi has toned my arms a bit, but not as much as devil sticking. It just seems to take more effort...or maybe that's cos I'm not as good at it as poi so I use more energy to keep the damn thing up in the air.

long double-staffs do a terrible (or really good depending on how you look at it) job for your arm muscles, I'm sure that much pain and them lying dropping off after a few minutes of spinning is not good! Does get the old muscles going though.

Depends wot moves you do... u cud give ur body a full work ou if u span like mad and was amazingly flexible... coordinated etc etc.

since i started poi i noticed a difference in my arm mucles and upper back mucles.
even if the poi in its self isnt that benifical it makes me feel like geeting up of my but and do ing some thing wich is better than nothing.
also if you dance around alot when you spin to the poing that when you stop you are a little out of breth that meens that you must have been to ing some cardio vascular exercise wich is all ways good
