Pole dancing fitness

Are you sick of all of the traditional aerobic classes? Want to put a bit of umph into your workouts?

I am always looking for a way to exercise without have to go to the gym. Not that the gym is a bad place I just usually feel out of place there with all the pretty buff bodied people. I have had my fill of traditional exercise. I would much rather go to a exercise class with people who are just like me striving to treat our bodies better and have some fun while we are at it. If I am paying to go take a class, not only do I want exercise, I also want the class to be fun. Is that wrong?

Pump it up

Would you ever take a pole fitness class? Is a hybrid of pole dancing and exercise.

It seems Pole dancing is not just for the nightclubs or bedroom anymore, these unique exercise classes are catching on and popping up across the USA.. What once was associated with stripping is now going main stream. Pole dancing classes are touted as a total body workout, combining both toning as well as cardiovascular.

These classes are usually women only. The class normally will start out with some stretching to get your body ready to sidle up to the pole, the pole is to be your sexy dance partner. The studios have multiple poles and for the most part many look like a typical exercise classes with poles. Music plays as you learn moves on the pole.

Some studios even go a bit further and actually have the lights dimmed music playing and even a disco ball in the center of the room. At some classes women are encouraged to wear high heels once they have perfected some moves.

These classes are getting excellent results in body strength, balance and coordination, as well as flexibility eventually the student will be holding her body on the pole as she spins and twirls, in her vertical gymnastics.

Women wear a tank top or t-shirt, and shorts or yoga pants for the class and many start out barefooted and work in the sassie shoes.

Besides the extensive workout a woman gets, she can gain more than just the physical benefits from Pole Dancing fitness. It can also be a real self esteem and confidence builder, which can be good for herself as well as her significant other.



Fun Fitness

Pole fitness classes craze has caught on in most states, Many offer a multiple of different classes for Levels 1-3, they also host events, bachelorette parties, lady night out as well as Birthday parties, wedding showers, workshops, some even do home parties.

Studios say a large percent of the ladies that attend these classes are over 50. if you are looking for classes in your area check out this link, there are also Franchises opportunities are available. If you would like you can purchase your own pole and enjoy doing the Pole Fitness in the privacy of your home. They have portable poles. The fees for these classes fees vary anywhere for $15-$25 per class.

I like exercise groups such as this I participate in Zumba and my class is so much fun, I might think about trying pole fitness, but Maine is a bit behind the curve and I could only find one and its a long ways from where I am!

Hi gurl,

I hear you, me too. I am always looking for good exercise classes that do not feel like I am exercising. Tone as you have fun. I think the Pole fitness would be fun if not laughable for me!
