A group of friends and I signed up for pole dancing classes! In particular, I wanted to do it because it means I’d be ‘forced’ to exercise. My fitness levels are…. nonexistent. I’m generally just too lazy and love to eat, so exercise somewhat opposes that 😉 So I figure, if I enroll myself into classes, and do it with friends, then I’d just HAVE to exercise, right?
And obviously, pole dancing is FUN. A lot more exciting than jogging endlessly, how boring. I also like how you move to music, and it seems to me it’s very similar to gymnastics/ballet.. what with the core strength and flexibility involved. So I figure, since I danced ballet for 10 years, I’d be more pre-disposed to do pole dancing than, say, rugby 😉
The class was a LOT of fun, and so entertaining! It was all our 1st class ever, so it was all very beginner. We learned a lot though, and you realise how much coordination and strengh is needed for pole dancing. In fact, the next day, my muscles were so sore I couldn’t stand up or sit down properly.. let alone walk without limping! My thighs were SO painful I just couldn’t move them, and so were all these weird areas of my upper arms and armpits. Ouchhhhh. The pain was staggering. And all because of my zero exercise, hence none of my muscles are used to working out. Argh. Well…. hopefully now that I’m doing this, I’ll get fitter and be in less pain after each class!
The sexy ladies
I love the expression on my face. LMAO!!!!
Looking more exhausted than sexy. Pole dancing is hard work!
Practicising our walk-around-the-pole move. Even that was not easy…
WHEE!
Hey, I love Corona, actually!
| You Are Corona |
 You are outgoing, energetic, and very extroverted. When people talk about the “life of the party,” they’re talking about you. You always have a good time when you drink. Kicking back with a couple beers makes your usual cheerful self even happier. You enjoy the company of others, and you thrive in any social situation. No group is too big or too small for you. |
You have such an amazing figure! And you also look very graceful, all those years of ballet really makes a difference 🙂
I always wanted to try pole dancing. Sadly, when I finally got my act together to sign up for classes, they stopped teaching them due to lack of interest 🙁 I’ve recently taken up Bollywood dance classes though, and it’s SO much fun. Dance classes are just such a better way to exercise than normal gym routines 🙂
Aww thanks hon! pole dancing is really fun.. but ya, only good if you’ve got a bunch of g/fs with you that are keen on it too. Oo never done Bollywood dancing before though!

Oo…look like lots of hard working fun! 😉 DO they play good music??
We didn’t actually get around to cranking the music up and dancing to it… was too busy learning the basic moves, haha!

Wow how fun! I have a few friends who do it and they also tell me about how it’s such a work out! Apparently it also really helps give a person shapely legs!
it’s way harder a workout than i’d expected.. was sooo sore!

Wow! That is really funny.
Are you going to install one such pole at your home in the future to demonstrate the acquired skills to your husband? 🙂
Hehe nooo that is just too weird for us!
I took a class on pole dancing once but instead of feeling sexy, I felt like a fool! 😛 LOL
Hahah i’m with ya, I certainly didn’t look sexy at all… was so clumsy 😉

roflmao! you’re so funny – you’re doing a pole dancing to get healthier while wearing a tshirt that says “I love Burger and fries”! 🙂
Yeah I realised the irony of it when I was in the class.. lol!!

I tried it once and it’s fun! And definitely harder than most people can imagine!
I knooowww! I seriously thought it’d be prancing around for a bit, having more fun than exercise. Or maybe I’m just really unfit 😉
Wow! That is really funny.

Oh wow I didn’t realize pole dancing was so hard. It does sound fun especially with a group of friends! Also, I love that you’re wearing a fast food tee to work out. 😛
Hhaha yeah, it’s a comfy tee though, great for exercise!
You’re so cute Bev! That does look a lot more fun than my usual gym workouts!
It totally is! And it’s even more fun with friends 🙂
Ah – looks fun.
It’s mad fun, though the pain afterwards is OUCH!
