Pole dancing - how many calories?

Hi peeps :)

Anyone know how many calories on average pole dancing burns in an hour?

I've recently got an X Pole but don't have a HRM so have no idea how many calories I'd be burning.

Thanks in advance

Lesley

    It depends for the guy or for the girl. The guy hardly anything, the girl sort of alot.

    Would very much depend on what you do on that pole I guess... Some girls are true gymnasts / acrobats who probably get a good workout out of it...

    I've also seen women taking a running jump at a pole just to slide 3 inches down the pole gracelessly and spend the next few minutes on a hurty bottom. Not sure what that would do for weight loss... :huh:
