1. If you're a beginner, you can start from the floor. Hold the pole with both your hands at eye level.
2. Open your hips as you raise the same leg as your top arm. Hook the leg and squeeze the pole behind your knee.
3. Push off the floor with your outside foot to go into a controlled, backwards spin. Remember to keep your arms straight, shoulders engaged and hips pushed back. Raise your outside leg and so that both your knees meet. At this point, your inside leg should still be hooked onto the pole and your outside leg should be straight and engaged.
4. Now, you can release your inside arm and place the pole in the elbow pit as you hold onto the shin of your outside leg. Et voila! You are in a Martini Sit!
1. Start in an outside leg hang, but keep your hands on the pole. Keep your inside arm where it is and pull down as you reach for the pole above your knee with the outside arm. This is called an Outside Leg Hang Pull Up.
2. Reach your inside arm underneath your outside arm.
3. Swing your inside leg to come in front of the pole and extend it. Make sure your knees are glued to each other. Keep squeezing the pole in your inside knee pit.
4. Now, you can release your inside arm and place the pole in the elbow pit as you hold onto the shin of your outside leg.
Want a juicy progression? Try this one.
1. When you are about to enter your martini, thread your inside arm under your inside leg and grab onto your outside quad. The pole should still be pushing into your inside elbow pit.
2. Once the pole is secured in your inside elbow pit, you can release your outside arm and straighten your top leg! There you have it: Dirty Martini 🍸

Who’s ready for a new #PJTrickChallenge?
Up for grabs: a £50 PJ voucher 👑
For the month of February, we’ve chosen… *drumroll please* … FALLEN STAR 💫 This trick is Intermediate, however we’ve also offered some different variations you can do depending on your level!
Let’s break it down, shall we?
1. Enter a straddle invert.
2. Hook the outside leg and squeeze the pole behind your knee by engaging your hamstring.
3. Release the outside hand and grab onto the pole a couple inches below your head. Option to hold onto the pole with your thumb pointing up or down. Keep your inside leg engaged as you squeeze the glute. This is the beginner variation. You can keep your outside leg hooked!
4. For intermediate polers, you can do the original Fallen Star. Unhook your outside leg and enter a straddle. Your contact points are: your outside hand pushing into the pole, the back of your inside shoulder and inner thigh of your inside leg. Squeeze your quads and point through your ankles as you hold your straddle.
5. Advanced polers, you can do the meat hook variations where you bring your outside leg to the same side as your inside leg. Your contact points are: your outside hand pushing into the pole, the back of your inside shoulder and the quad of your inside leg. Option to keep your legs together or go into an active split!
There you have it: 4 different variations you can do for the Fallen Star 💫
Entries close February 28th and winner gets announced March 1st! GOOD LUCK.
