There is a pole dancing class in my area and I am thinking about trying it. I am a little nervous, but I want to try something different and that is fun. If you have tried it and gotten results let me know. I go to the gym sometimes to go lift weights and work on toning, but not to be rude or silly, all of the exotic dancers I seen are all in tip top shape! Let me know what you think!

Thanks!!!!

    I do the Flirty Girl Fit videos. They have pole dancing , but I am too big to get on a pole at this point. I do their aerobics, sexy circuit, and Booty beat strip aerobics videos. I really want to do a pole dancing class....when I won't break the pole!

    It is an amazing arm work out. You will be sore when you get home so have lots of bananas and orange juice for the potassium! lol

    I haven't, but I took one class a couple of years ago for a Bachelorette Party and our teacher was FIT! It was so hard to get up and down that pole, I bet it's a good workout!

    We have something called Diva Fit in my area (pole dancing for excercise) and I've always wanted to try it. A few of my friends have done it and their arms look awesome. As soon as I can find a class that I can actually attend regularly I'm totally doing it. All the classes so far are on days that I've already got something going on...so as soon as my schedule changes I'm on it. Let me know how it goes if you do it!

    Whoo-Hoo!!! I sure do and I LOVE it! It is a GREAT workout. I actually have a pole I keep in my bedroom and I have one that travels with me. LOL
    I take it to Mardi Gras every year and we have a blast on it. I've also had pole dancing parties at my house and all my friends love it.
    The teacher I have is awesome and we developed a great friendship.
    I say go for it. You will love it and you will be amazed at the results. ;-)

    Let me know if you end up taking classes.

    I've tried it. It is super fun and you get a good work out, but because if it's expensive it is really easy to stop going. I've considered investing in my own pole. We'll see,

    Yep! I have a pole in my room....taught myself! I personally don't think it made that much of a difference to my body even though I was doing inverts and aerial moves...but it does a hell of a lot for your confidence! I also focused on my flexibility too when i was practising.

    I don't do it anymore, I got bored of it BUT I did go to a pole party the other week and was surprised to find out that I can still do all the spins and intermediate inverts I learned :D

    Me too. I think it'd be a lot of fun in addition to a great work out.
    I too would like to know how it goes for you if you do it.

    Buy either Lil Mynx or X Pole. They are the best ones out there. There are very sturdy. ;) Have fun!!!!!
    (My hubby LOVES it. That is how baby #5 came about. Drinking at the bar and then dancing on the pole. LOL)

    The dancing with the pole, pretty typical "dance" workout.

    But The hanging upside down? Kinda like Yoga with pole......

    Go try it girl, it's also a great excuse to buy some new high heels :flowerforyou:

    Hooray! I'm glad you decided to be brave and go for it! I go to S Factor and absolutely love it. It's really great strength/core work, but I also hit the gym and do plenty of other workouts so that I can handle everything that we do in class.

    It is so much fun! I hope you love it!

    I used to take a class. I didn't notice any difference to my body and I didn't really like it because I didn't have the upper body strength to do a lot of the moves - made me really self conscious!
