    Of course it's fun!

    The returns are obvious when you preform the days or weeks workout/routine for your SO!

    :wink:

    I'd been lifting regularly when I decided to start pole classes. I'd never been more sore in my entire life. It works muscles you didn't know you had. It is an amazing workout that I definitely saw benefits from. Plus, you feel sexy doing it, and what girl doesn't wasn't to feel sexy?!

    Watch this and tell me if this is not a workout...I can't do half the stuff that she does and I'm in pain just watching her! I'll get there though.

    I think it's both. It's a fantastic workout and it's a chance to let loose...plus S/O's usually like it too ;)

    I've seen girls in classes do straight up planks with just one arm keeping them on the pole. It's a legit workout.

    Will admit I was skeptical at first, but there's a difference between the tone of a workout vs a stripper routine. Just like a gymnast *could* perform a raunchy floor routine, but doesn't...a pole dancer could perform a raunchy stripper routine, or just an athletic gymnastic pole performance. This video is the winner of the first world cup of pole dancing. You can see that it's more of a gymnastic routine & they are trying to get it into the Olympics. So in fitness classes, I think it'd depend on the instructor, but think there's still a stigma to it for most people. But times change...it used to be that only prostitutes got their ears pierced. ;-)

    Hmmm... seems as if glitter should be in that list unless you've defaulted it under item 7
    Both. Why limit it to one thing. Eventually, clothes will come off.


    explain
    Okay.
    1.) Pole
    2.) Person
    3.) Person on pole
    4.) Person dancing on pole
    5.) Person dancing on pole says "o hai, too much clothes"
    6.) 1 thing leads to another
    7.) ????
    8.) Profit.

    I thought about being a stripper, then I remembered im fat and cant dance. Guess I will stick to social work where I can remain poor and jaded.

    Stripping is nothing like regular dancing. If you want to do it, go for it!

    Legit. It's a great workout, builds strength and control, plus it's fun. And you can use dance as a form of emotional expression. If you're feeling sexy then by all means, "work that pole" -- if you're angry then toss on some Living Dead Girl, throw your shoes across the room, slam your hands into the floor -- if you're feeling sad and sentimental put on a slow song and dance like you're melting. You'd be surprised how much of a workout it is to move incredibly slow, by the end of a 4 minute song you'll be drenched in sweat and every muscle will be quivering.
