Pole dancing helps strip off pounds
Story Highlights
* Pole dancing tricks function as weight training, studio owner says
* Participant says she's more confident about her body because of pole
dancing
* The classes are women-only, and many participants wear stilettos
By Judy Fortin
CNN Medical Correspondent
ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- The lights were turned down low and the music was=
pulsing as Kimberly Wright made her way toward a 16-foot tall dance pole to=
do some tricks.
Wright is not an exotic dancer in a strip club. She's a 38-year-old mother
of two from Atlanta, Georgia, looking to get in a decent workout.
"It works the abs, oh my goodness, muscles I didn't even know I had,"
Wright chuckled.
On this night, Wright is among more than a dozen women of all shapes and
sizes -- no men allowed -- attending a beginner class at PoleLaTeaz, an
Atlanta dance studio owned by Angela Edwards.
"We get preachers' wives, teachers, nurses, accountants, lawyers, anyone
between the age of 18 and 70," Edwards said. "It's not boring...you get to
wear fun clothes, listen to good music...and release your inner sexpot."
If online listings across the country are an indication, the popularity of
pole dancing is spreading across the country from Southern California to
Chicago to the Bible Belt.
A former labor and delivery nurse, Edwards opened her own studio two years
ago and now has 400 students. She plans to add another location in the
fall.
Edwards demonstrated a few moves during an advanced class later in the
evening.
She climbed to the top a pole and, clenching her inner thighs, hung upside
down. Watch Edwards demonstrate pole dancing =BB
"The dancing part is where you get the cardiovascular benefits," she said.
Then there's "pole-tricking," or doing specific movements balancing your
body weight against the pole, such as the "fireman spin."
"That's where you get the weight lifting and weight training," Edwards
said.
She mentioned that there is a risk of injury so regardless of their
experience, all students start the class with a half-hour warmup using
Pilates-like stretches.
Thick mats are placed near the poles as students practice new "tricks," and=
Edwards encouraged dancers to modify their moves depending on their
abilities.
"You see good results," Edwards said. "We have women who come in here 40 to=
50 pounds overweight and they drop it in about six to eight months and they=
get great, nice, hourglass curves."
Cicely Rogers is one of those women who have seen results.
"I started last August and I've gone down two dress sizes. I've lost 20
pounds and I feel awesome," she said.
The critical care nurse at an Atlanta hospital admitted that she hurt all
over after the first few sessions of pole dancing.
There's another benefit, Rogers said. "This made me feel better about my
body. I used to be nervous about my body and try to hide it. Now I'm a lot
more open and confident. I stand up straight and feel good about myself."
Rogers is one of the few women wearing shorts and a tank top. Many other
students are scantily dressed in lingerie-like outfits.
Almost everyone strapped on stilettos when the dancing got under way. Some
of the women said it added to the atmosphere of the class.
"It makes you feel sensual. It makes you feel sexy," said Antigone
Locklear, 42, of Atlanta.
Wright said feeling sexy is part of the reason she attended class. Now
she's waiting for her husband to install her own dance pole at home.
She smiled. "You know what? I am sexy and yes, pole dancing does put you in=
the mood." |

You know, there's nothing special about jogging, but some people
really enjoy it. It's all a matter of preference.
I can't stand jogging; makes my knees hurt and all parts of me jiggle
in a most unflattering way, but to some, jogging makes them feel like
a fleet-footed deer. I really enjoy pole dancing because the moves
make me feel graceful, the pole helps me keep my balance and the more
advanced moves can seriously increase your upper body strength. I
started using pole dancing as part of my exercise regimen when my
company started selling them (I am an independent consultant for Brown
Bag Party ... www.spices4love.com). I haven't given up my other
exercises in favor of pole dancing, but adding it in certainly does
break up the monotony, which helps me stay committed to exercising.
To each his own (or her own), but if you haven't tried it, don't knock
it.

True. Jogging is bad for everything except your heart, but some people seem
addicted to it.

Agreed. I've never understood what makes jogging different from running,
either. They are both hard on the body, albeit useful for cardiovascular
health (but not useful enough to compensate for the drawbacks).

So you installed a pole in your home or something, or what? You need a pole
to dance around, I presume. I guess that would be quite different from having
a treadmill around the house. |

Although humans a relative wusses in the Animal Kingdom (in terms of
physical accomplishments), I think I read that one thing we used to
excel, better than a lot of animals, is covering great distances at a
steady pace. Or did I completely grab the wrong end of that stick?
Something or other to do with being bipeds.
Of course processed food has put an end to that particular
accomplishment for most of the western world.
