Im thinking of starting pole dancing as it seems like an awesome workout, has anyone done this before and seen results? im not too bothered about burning calories, i would much prefer to tone up. Would anyone care to share their experiences with the pole? :wink:

    I have never done it myself but my friend used to work for someone who was trying to set up a pole dancing for fitness business and is was basically workout classes with a pole. It was supposed to help you get super toned and it's something a little bit different I guess. I think it would definitely be worth a try! :o)

    I did it for a while and really enjoyed the workout. Found however that depending on your instructor you can either get a really good workout or not so much of a burn and I would recommend that you try different instructors to see how they approach the class :)
    Over time you will definitely become stronger and toned and get a chance to play and feel sexy while doing it!

    I have never done it either as it's expensive and you have to get someone to come to your house over here.
    I know someone who did it for a year or so and lost about 50lbs!!

    There's a studio in my city but there's a really expensive safety course you have to do first. :frown: Otherwise I'd look into it.

    I have done it, I found it was more strength than cardio vascular, it depends how much dancing u do, i found my core, flexibility and upper body strength improves heaps I would suggest pairing it with a salsa class or something
