Anyone else do pole for FITNESS? (not stripping!) I go to a class one hour a week and have no idea how to track it or how much kcal I would burn??

I don't but I guess if you wear a HRM it could give you an idea.0

I think it varies a lot depending on whether you're doing routine work, pole flow or just working on invertions. I find when I do routines I end up out of breath, and climbing makes me hot and sweaty, but just doing inverted poses I can only feel it in my muscles as strength work.
I absolutely love it though and have noticed huge changes in my core and upper body in the last 6 months since I started.0 -
I wear my HRM to classes. Since it goes around your upper rib cage there it doesn't interfere with skin/pole contact. More than the calories burned though is the strength building. I can't believe how strong I am. I am constantly surprised at the new muscle definition I see. Especially in my arms and shoulders.0
