Strange type of exercise...?

Hey everyone! I live in MD, and there is a new exercise place by my house, that is pole-dancing and chair/floor dancing for fitness. It's ...intriging (sp?) to say the least. at 253 (-105 yay!) I'm not quite ready to attempt it, however, once my best friend has her baby (APRIL!) we thought about trying it. Anyone heard of it, or tried it? Thanks! Genny 358/253/170

That sounds fun I have never seen this in NC but I have seen it on TV and have read in magazines about this type of class. I would join (when I loose the weight). There is nothing better than having a great time exercising. Go For it !! Kay

my friend who also lives in MD (right outside Baltimore) does it and loves it except her instructor is a pretty hot and fit lady so she sometimes feels intimidated but she thinks its really fun otherwsie. sarah

I have heard and read about this a little bit.. Apparently the dancing and pole excercises really chanllenge a large group of muscles in a single excercise. If you want to do something similar at home (to prepare for the class) Carmen Electra has a similar workout DVD called Carmen Electra's Advanced Aerobic Striptease. (copy and paste http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0007TKGZI/ref=pd_bbs_null_2/103-8068651-0602247?v=glance) I think it's a very creative and sounds like it could be a lot of fun.

Thanks for the replies....I agree that it sounds highly interesting. Of course, I could just make a fool of myself . But it will be amusing if nothing else! Might ahve to get that Carmen Electra tape.... Thanks again! Genny

Girl 253 or not, go on with you bad self and take that class!! You know I'd be the first one in line if they had one of those around here! Carmen Electra have a strip tease video that gives you all the good moves and you burn those calories at the same time!

That is awesome! I would love to attempt to be a pole dancer! ~Chrissy
