Thinking about taking pole dance lessons?

[TheEmma]

My gf is lose weight and our friend suggested pole dance. She wants me to take lessons with her so I guess that's what I'll do...

Has anyone taken lessons before? Would you recommend it? I guess it is a good exercise because it looks like it takes a lot of effort, so I guess it'd ideal if you wanna tone your body but is it good for losing weight? How long, approximately, does it take to be able to say you're good at it? Meaning you can lift your body and all that cool stuff and tricks girls do?

We're also thinking of just going to the gym and do the regular stuff. Thoughts? Which is better?

Actully it is considered to be a very good work out and is becomming pretty popular. There is a lot of full body dynamic movements involved which help to make the work out more intense pluse to do more of the awsome tricks you do need quite a lot of good strength.

Hey I would say try it maybe you might like it maybe not: )

[TheEmma]

Thanks!

It does have a taboo attached to it but I think it is a very effective exercise if done properly. Anything exercise where you have to life your own weight it dope. Even going up and down steps a few hundred steps a day can help.

[TheEmma]

Eh I don't care about what people say haha. We're doing it for the exercise! Haha thanks

[AshBrown]

Exactly. Why should shud u care about what people say. Someone will always HAVE to say something.

[TheEmma]

Yeah that aspect doesn't even worry me lol

[AshBrown]

Now... Looking forward to your success story. :) good luck.

[TheEmma]

Thanks!

[AshBrown]

Oh... And I certainly don't mean that I would jump on the pole after your success.. Hehehe... That would not look good at all... Haha.

I did pole dance for years but broke my leg pretty bad lol so I stopped pole dancing since then 😅 i actually lost weight for the first few months but gained weight a bit after because it helps you build muscles especially on your thighs... :)

[TheEmma]

Omg did that happen because of the pole dance?
So is it a good idea for losing weight or should we wait some time and start once she's done with that and just wants to tone?

[mei0313]

I fell from the pole lol while i was spinning haha i think it is a good idea for working out in general :)

[TheEmma]

Ohhh jesus!

[mei0313]

You will be fineeee

[TheEmma]

Haha thanks!

[mei0313]

Just dont go up too high on the pole and try to spin there lol

[TheEmma]

Got it!

It's very good for losing weight. How long you take to get good is different for everybody, just like learning anything.

[TheEmma]

Yeah I thought so but I wanted to know how long it took people here haha. Have you tried it?

[Opinion Owner]

For a short while. My legs were already quite strong but too flabby. It made my legs so much stronger, like I had superhero legs or something lol and they toned up so fast, like in weeks. But i will say I do usually change fast like I can get flabby or toned so fast not gradual like other people, good for toning worst in the world if you get lazy. I wouldn't say I got good at it, i only did it a short time and I don't think I have the natural talent for it like some people lol. I met some girls there who'd been doing it for longer and a few were quite good and could do all those tricks with their legs and no arms and stuff. Seriously though, it takes a lot and you use a lot of muscles. She'll lose weight fast and get toned. It can get like a proper intense workout. It's really fun to

[TheEmma]

Thank you!! It sounds great. I'm pretty sporty so it's fine haha but she isn't lol. Im sure I'll end up forcing her to go.

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

It's good for losing weight and i see nothing wrong with pole dancing
if this is something you want do than i say go for it and follow your dreams

[TheEmma]

I know haha never said it was. I just wanna know if it's gonna be a good exercise and how hard it is because one of us is gonna end up quitting lol

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

It's really not hard once you learn to do it
i watch pole dancers on you-tube and it looks good

[TheEmma]

Yeah, they're pretty talented.

[Klaatu51]

nasically if you want to lose weight why don't you try gym? you'll lose faster that way

[TheEmma]

That's why I'm asking haha I wanna know how it went for people who took classes :)

[crazyincalifornia]

I can pole dance and it isn't to lose weight.
If you want to lose weight get a treadmill.
If I'm pole dancing, I'm either naked or close to it.
My guy is watching and jerking at the same time.
Maybe even more than one guy, or girl.
HHHHHH

[TheEmma]

Haha i think it does work for exercising when you do it with that purpose and do tricks and stuff

[wankiam]

that is hot as hell

[crazyincalifornia]

I can't do the tricks you see.
I just swing around, and strip.
My guy like ti watch me.
Once I did it for like 4 guys and a girl
I should charge.
HHHHHHHHHHH

[EEIJ__xo]

[TheEmma]
