Pole dancing

To end 2018 I went pole dancing for a friends 21st birthday party. It was so much harder than I thought it would be and requires some coordination. It’s a great workout for people with balance problems, because you have a pole to hang on to, but challenges you since you are constantly moving and trying to put your body into positions that you didn’t know you could or couldn’t do. You have to keep your balance trying to pivot around the pole and engage all of your muscles at some point. There was so much stretctchimg before we started, since it requires flexibility, and the teacher walks you through each step treating it like an aerobics class. Even the things I thought I couldn’t do she would modify for me or encourage me to try. If you are looking for something different and fun to do with friends, I highly suggest pole dancing it’s harder than it looks.
