Does anyone here use poi? It's not so much a training excersize as an art. Poi are amazing to watch, spinning circles and spirals around, over and below the spinner.
Poi are basically two weighted balls (they don't have to be very heavy at all though) attached to ropes held on to by two fingers. What you do is you spin them around yourself to make amazing patterns that make you wonder how theyre possibly done.
The reason i put this in the training and excersize is because it's an amazing workout for your upper body. An estimation would be that after about 3 weeks of using them my arms became 150% their size (as in 50% increase for those who think it's not possible).
Poi can be made with lights in the balls, making amazing patterns that get better the darker it is. The best poi practitioners can get special poi to light on fire and spin that way, which is an amazing site to see.
