Mrs Webmuppet Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I believe Penguinmad has done a spot of pole dancing for exercise. I'm sure she will be along later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 And here I am - there are a couple of other Omleteers who have had a go too, I believe Cooperwife is one of them. Its terrific, fantastic exercise, challenging a good laugh and you seem to progress quite quickly. I bruise easily and my legs are black and blue though! Next week I'm trying it in shorts and boots to get the grip on the pole as we are doing a "lift" type climby bit now. I'm on my second lot of beginners lessons and I'm going to keep going till I'm ready for intermediate. My upper body stregth is improving massively and I am also benefitting from toning my legs ets - one thing my flabby body needs is a LOT of toning - losing a lot of weight in a short time leaves you desperately in need. There is a video of me doing it on my Facebook - if you are on there add me as a friend and you can see it - I teach so I can't really put it anywhere more public even though it's more comedy value than erotic. Enjoy your taster - thats how I got started! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 yep I pole dance too and I love it we have an absolute scream - especially when we have to "climb the pole" - and I cant how did you get on? did you enjoy it? cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 It was GREAT! Really enjoyed it and the two ladies that each were LOVELY. Three of us from work went and there were a couple of other ladies and it was a really nice friendly atmosphere. I thought I would ache a bit more this morning but i feel ok at the minute. I do have quite an attractive bruise on my shin from doing the corkscrew spin! I have signed up to the four week class that starts next week!

The Dogmother Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Seems to be the latest keep fit craze! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 It is! All the gyms have had poles fitted and ladies who go to Pole Dancing classes for fitness were the "social stereotype" in a Telegraph a couple of months ago. I'm thinking we need a Pole Dancing forum now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ana's flock Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Belly dancing is a lot of fun too... and it suits us 'more rounded' ladies... Mind you, as soon as I've lost a bit of weight I might give the Pole Dancing a go... do you absolutely need to wear silly high heels... it's just that belly dancing is done barefoot and I still managed to stumble a couple of times...

Guest Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I'm supposed to be doing belly dancing but after one lesson I kinda gave up. Its too late and you need some sense of co-ordination that I don't seem to have. Maybe I'm just not rounded enough??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 It's not to do with size, but your core and pelvic muscles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just did the pole dancing taster in bare foot and the classes are all bare foot too. Although I am told at the end of my four week course I will be able to do my "routine" with heels, lights and a smoke machine AND they will record it and I get a copy on DVD!

The Dogmother Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Will you make it to youtube then? Apparently that's the new measure of celebrity! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Will you make it to youtube then? Apparently that's the new measure of celebrity! I think the DVD will be locked away in a box, in a locked cupboard in a locked room!!! Be something to show the grandkids though! (got to have my own kids forst though!)

KimmyCustard Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I saw a pole dancing thingy on Youtube the other day, I think it was Perth pole dancer or something. This woman was amazing! She had a black hotpant affair on and I have never seen acrobatics like it, truly great and wish I could be as fit as good as her. (Also, I once saw some stilettoes with live goldfish in the platform bit at the front, REALLY want a pair now!) Kimmy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I have a video on my facebook but I'm barefoot in trackies. Girl on the next pole (who is ALSO an ICT teacher!) is in shorts and hight heeled boots. I tried it in shorts last Sunday and "Ooops, word censored!"ody laughed at my nora batty legs (what do you think happens after the weight falls off???) so this sunday its the whole hog and I'm wearing my boots which I bough in a charity shop too!!!

The Dogmother Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I'm not on face book Pengy - could you send me a link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 There isn't a link but you are second person that asked! Its on FB as only my approved friends can see it there. As a teacher thats a fairly safe way of doing it - not that it's remotely dodgy but the kids can make anything sound bad and the school gets complaints. A video has been posted on YouTube of one of our staff, its funny but nothing REMOTELY bad about it except it has the kids all fired up and has caused some disruption. I will try and put it in a secure area on my webspace over the weekend and PM a link to selected people. Its worth it for the laugh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Please do Pengy.... only if you can though; I understand the school implications I think you're really brave doing it. I fancy belly dancing myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkor Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 So it has been 48hrs since the pole dancing and i developed the lovliest gren/blue bruises all up my right shin! I thought this pole dancing was meant to make us feel sexy as well as get us fitter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
