Last night I saw a short news report about someone who had a new idea to help women to get into shape. She was teaching them how to pole dance! Everyone was in a room with a bunch of stripper poles everywhere. It was quite interesting.
By the way, the person who set this up is an actress who played a stripper in a movie. I can’t remember who is was (not Demi Moore!)
I do a jig with my pole all the time.
JWright, is that what you do for “cardio?”
Cardio?? Thats a forearm workout!!
Ha, I thought it was funny 
Jeff - I’m surprised you didn’t hear about this awhile ago. I know I heard it a couple of months ago. It’s just another way to motivate people. It can work in the bedroom, or for their job, depending on what that is. It’s sad that motivational techniques have come to sexual related subjects in order to get people off their asses. Can you imagine a woman with 7 rolls of tummy trying to do this? Ick.
I just certified a Pole Personal Trainer last night…wink wink
The women in the news story were in somewhat decent shape. Some of them were doing tricky moves that they said took months to learn. They kept showing them doing the thing where they climb the pole and then straddle it in a upsidedown pike position and then slide down the pole.
So are they going to start installing stripper poles in gyms accross the country? Will they come up with a home version? Apparantly, there’s already a certification! :D)
I don’t care how false or true this reprt is, I just love this idea.
Oh, it was real, alright!
Anyone have any idea who the actress might be? I believe she had a starring role as a stripper in a movie.
This isn’t new. Certin Crunch fitness center (by the way now owned by Bally’s)in NYC I think the one in Soho has a aerobic class called Cardio Striptease something like that.
