Work That Pole

I'm not a gym person. When it comes to exercise, I've discovered that I have to find something fun that'll get me moving, or I'll just stay put. In the past few years, I've branched out into the likes of Yoga Latte, Jazz and African dance. In the spirit of expanding my horizons a little further, I found another activity that, based on tonight's first class, promises to help me build confidence, flexibility, and maybe even an upper body: pole dancing. Ladies, it's fun, it's a serious workout and it's sexy!

At the beginning of the class, most of us were giggling nervously, not really knowing what to expect. Surprisingly, pole dancing isn't all about the pole - there's a lot of floor work involved. A hip roll here, a back arch there ... About halfway through the class, most of us were grinning ear to ear, working our butts off (literally) and having a blast.

The best part is, I'm taking it with a friend so I get to share the experience with her. So ladies, if you're looking for something sassy, something different, something fun, grab a friend and work that pole!
