Go on, get it out of your system. We’ll permit you a childish giggle, an un-lady like snort- but then you must stand straight and pay attention. If you’ve been taking classes at Pole Fetish, standing up straight shouldn’t prove too difficult. One of the myriad benefits of pole dancing is it’s ability to strengthen your core, which in turn promotes good posture.
Now that you’ve finished giggling at the idea of writhing around on a pole to get fit, it’s time to get serious. Pole dancing has long shaken off its image as a hobby practiced only in the dark, steamy rooms of King Street dens of inequity. As more and more and women embrace the idea of pole dancing as a fun and highly social way to keep fit, the old negative connotations gradually break down. Sure, pole dancing happens in strip clubs. It also, frequently, happens in women-only fitness studios.
The health benefits of pole dancing simply cannot be overstated. Pole dancing is a full body workout, of particular help to women suffering chronic back pain, or any of the other many ailments associated with poor core strength. By getting your core in tip top shape, you’ll improve your posture, lung function, and day to day energy levels. You’ll also have a brilliant new party trick up your sleeve. And nobody, it must be said, ever complained of their love life going into a downward spiral upon taking up pole dancing. Sure, it’s largely about fun and fitness in a supportive environment. But it’s not going to hurt your appeal in the eyes of the weaker sex, either (that’s you, chaps!).
Have you ever considered pole dancing as a form of fitness? Have you been to a class before?

Did you enjoy it? I think there are classes locally, and although I’m sure it would be a laugh, I feel like I have plenty of fitness related things on my plate at the moment!
I haven’t actually been to a class, but would love to give it a try.
i’d love try pole dancing – i love any form of dancing and would give anything a go!
It looks fun doesn’t it!
I know some people who have done them for hen weekends and things- that sounds fun, and I can see they would be good for strength, but I could imagine turning up to one and not being able to do any of the moves as I imagine you need massive core strength.
I can imagine myself sliding down the pole in a heap on the floor, but I guess that’s all part of the fun! 🙂
I tried pole dancing for the first time last night! It was so much fun! Me and 2 friends did it. I’m aching so much today and my legs are bruised! Lol but I’ll def be going back!! 🙂 x
What a coincidence! I bet you had a great time despite the bruising!
No but I really want to do a class! Me and my friends might be doing some classes as a group at some point and I can’t wait!
I would love to get together with the girls to try a class. It sounds like fun!
Pole dancing is fab! Though I am biased since I am a pole fitness instructor! You should all definitely give it a try 😉 You have a great blog, it’s always nice to see some other UK bloggers, I am a healthy foodie blogger and most other in my field seem to be US based.
I find it difficult. It is not for every age group like other dance styles. http://www.studio-fusion.net/
