Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You collaborated with 2013 U.S. National Pole Level 4 Champion Sergia Louise Anderson. Tell us about this experience of your’s?
Ms. Kristy Sellars:
Sergia is a beautiful person and an extremely talented poler. Meeting her was great but when we trained together I felt like I’d found my ‘pole soul’ mate! Hehe. We created together so easily, moved in a similar way and had a ball bouncing ideas and energy off of each other. She’s someone I really wish I could collaborate with more often, and luckily for me she’s coming back to Australia in October this year!!
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine you shall like to share?
Ms. Kristy Sellars:
In a typical week I do, interval sprint training, upper body and core strength on and off the pole, continuous dance for extra endurance, stretching, foam rolling, massage, new tricks training on the pole… Ouchies! As well as teaching classes! I try to dedicate at least 4 hours per day when comp training/ 5-6 days a week, and off comp training I probably only do about an hour on top of my usual classes… That being said, the pole world doesn’t exactly have an ‘off competition season’ yet, so training is pretty much all year round!
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Do you take some special diet or have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit?
Ms. Kristy Sellars:
Yes, when training for a comp I try to stick to mainly meat and vegetables with maybe one piece of grain bread with breakfast and the odd sweet potato every few days. I also have protein shakes (not replacing meals).
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Advice and motivational words to the inspiring and budding pole dancing girls who all are your fans, they shall like to know from you, what they should do for their climb to ladder of success in field of pole dancing ?
Ms. Kristy Sellars:
My advice would be to realize that you don’t need any special or amazing skills to start on the road to being successful, your success relies solely on the belief that your body will do anything your mind decides. And then not giving up until you reach those goals.
