Pretty interesting article.. I was on a weight loss program a few months back and was going to a regular gym. However, I wanted to spice up my exercise routine a bit and decided to join a belly dancing class in addition. I was pretty surprised that dancing yeilded the same results as I got gymming. I also remember my belly dancing instructor telling us that her toned abs and arms were all from dancing ... so all you girls out there... shimmy away to better health

I run an extreme MMA bootcamp in Miami, FL. My routines are always unique and out of the ordinary. I truly believe that it is human nature to do things that bring pleasure. The more you enjoy it the more likely you are to do it, and stick to it! So why not find an interesting way to mix a bit of excitement and pleasure into your workout.

Pole Dancing is the best way to loose weight, and it's lots of fun.
I didn't know to I try it. Believe me it works. I believe it is a new wave of loosing weight.. Plus, you are being enpowered at the same time.

I'm starting belly dancing in a few weeks. I heard that combined with other cardio is a great way to get in shape and shed some... pounds. I've been dancing Salsa for a few months, but I thought I'd try this and see how that goes.

Belly dancing is another option for getting toned and in shape. You will stretch every part of your body from neck to ankles, and feel sexy shimmying your hips at the same time.

In tenth grade, I spent a month of the summer mixing concrete by hand to "chink" between the logs of my family-project summer log cabin. Every day, several times a day. Sorta like digging trenches all day.
What I complained-about being Grunt Work turned out to strengthen my upper body - as well as (surprisingly) my confidence- enough to go out for football that fall.
While pole dancing is beyond me, I would like to be a fly on that wall....... the seeming-contradiction of 'exploitation' from 'sexiness' makes the membership list swell.

Does anyone know a place in or around Charlotte NC that is comparable to Pole la Teaz? I would love to learn but do not want to go where people will be judgemental.

I wish it was more readily available because i'm sure it's expensive. I'd try it if it was cheaper! I took hip hop dancing for a year and it was great – I moved muscles I never knew I had – too bad it got too expensive.

Polelateaz is awesome! I started taking classes over a year ago to add to my exercise routine post baby. What many don't realize is how much of a great core workout and overall body body workout you really get. After three kids I never imagined I could be smaller and more fit than before having them. Not to mention the confidence that comes along with tapping into your inner goddess and getting in shape all at the same time.
