THE SPORT
Pole Dancing for fitness is fast becoming one of the most popular sports among women
worldwide. It is a full body workout incorporating cardio fitness and lifting your own body
weight. Most women note an improvement in self-confidence and body image after beginning
classes. Classes are typically broken down into a warmup, conditioning (or specific
strengthening exercises), actual pole training and then a stretching session to improve
flexibility. There are different levels in pole classes, ranging from beginners to advanced.
