Pole Dancing for Exercise or Sex
79
Intro
Pole Dancing for Exercise or Sex will explore pole dancing as an exercise and take a look at whether it is truly a fitness exercise or just a form of an erotically long foreplay for sex. As you may know pole dancing is no longer just for strip clubs and private gentleman’s clubs. Over the past ten years, many women have started to opt to use this art of dancing within their homes as a fitness regimen. Pole dancing exercise is a combination of highly physical acrobatic moves and erotic dancing on a stripper pole.
Pole dancing exercise moves typically include climbing,
hanging, spinning, swinging, and striking sexy poses on or around the
pole. Working with a stripper pole tones
the upper body, legs, and core.
TaraKarina the young lady dancing on the below video was trained by Veena who teaches lessons
online; you can reach her info at this link – StudioVeena.com. You can also find a link to more of Tara's YouTube videos of her dancing below in the "comments" section.

Don't Make the Same Mistake...
Getting Started
Pole dancing has really become popular within the U.S. and Britain. So, if you’re ready to get started, I would suggest that you do not run out and purchase a pole for your home prior to taking some classes first. By investing in pole dancing exercise classes first you can learn if you are up to the task of getting physical fit enough to maintain your weight on a pole. Obviously, whether you are doing pole dancing for exercise or sex, you will need to develop certain muscles in order to perform the task.
Another reason I suggest finding a class first, is that you can try pole dancing at home, however, this will require you to invest in a good stripper pole. Removable in-home stripper poles will run between $200 and $500. A few classes to ensure that this is a fitness routine that you like will cost a lot less. Then you will need to invest in a couple of workout DVDs or perhaps try to follow an online course. As you can see also by the video it is important to ensure that your pole is properly installed and strong enough to sustain your weight.
Try looking for classes that are being held at a local gym, dance studio, and or with a private tutor. Upon initially starting classes be prepared to purchase the proper workout gear as you would with any form of exercise.
Depending on your instructor, exercise gear may consist of high heels for strutting around the room, hot pants in order for your legs to remain bare in order to be able to grip the pole with your thighs. Of course, if you are a little shy and do not feel comfortable initially working out this way then you can select clothing that you can slip on and off as necessary.
How to Choose a Pole
Well, you guessed it just like other poles all stripper poles are not created equal. In some instances size does matter. You must first decide if you want a pole that remains stationary in one room or do you want one that can be taken down and stored in between uses.So your choice will be a stationary stripper pole sometimes termed a permanent pole because it screws into the ceiling. The second choice is a removable stripper pole which is semi-permanent and is connected to the ceiling by tension. And thirdly, there is the podium stripper pole which does not fit from the floor to the ceiling, but is usually attached to a base.
I would suggest that you research the type of pole you require, and consult with an instructor or a licensed expert prior to making a purchase that later could hurt a love one if it falls. However, here’s what I have learned. The more expensive poles are said to grip better, static poles are not suppose to move while you are moving, and spinning poles are meant to spin with you. Also, here is a website that offered stripper pole reviews.

Benefits of Pole Dancing
Fitness benefits are:
- Burns lots of calories
- Cardio vascular exercise
- Tone your abs
- Define your arms and shoulders
- Tone Legs
- Makes you more flexible
- Teaches you to Dance
- Builds confidence and self- esteem
- You will be the envy of EVERYONE
- Its so enjoyable and fun!!
I think that everyone will agree that holding your body horizontal to a pole with just your abs will require strength training to improve your core and burn a lot of calories. With continued practice participants of pole dancing are seeing increases in upper body strength and endurance. Legs will become more agile as abs become stronger from making spins and moves that in the beginning you could not do. Even if you did not have good upper body strength in the beginning you will develop the strength required while shedding pounds from the exercise.
It's a good cardio vascular exercise that will get your heart pumping and make you sweat while you burn energy. Admir Dante states, “Pole dancing is a great way to improve your stamina, over time you will improve your skills and be able to hold your body weight, complete more difficult and testing moves and spins and you will feel less tired and achy the more you do.” In addition, as with any exercise program as individual progresses his or her self-esteem builds.
Yes, that’s right ladies and gentlemen your stud muffins can join you on the pole. Ladies I’m sure you will agree that if you are into pole dancing for your man that it would be nice to see him develop some upper body strength and perhaps perform an erotic dance for you every once in a while. Just check out the strength of the guy above in the video…
Getting to the Sex
O.k. while some people might have the mindset that pole
dancing is something that goes on in clubs and nice girls don’t do such
things. I think within this hub there is enough information to prove that this is a great means of exercise and can definitely assist in strength and stamina fitness.
While it appears to be a very great fun way to keep fit; there is nothing wrong with spicing up the bedroom. If you and your partner want to get a little naughty, put on your hottest outfit that your partner loves; put on your favorite “in the mood music; grab your pole ( the dancing pole that is); add a little grinding and seductively sliding around the pole and ooh la la...
An exotic pole dance has been deemed to be entertaining and erotic as the dancer performs a burlesque dance to his or her on lookers. The dancer may choose to perform a strip tease during the dance. Obviously this form of entertainment and frisky prowl will tease, tempt, tantalize, and torment leaving its participants sexually aroused.
Needless to say, after improving upper body strength, agility of the legs and increasing stamina from your pole dancing will contribute to a better sex life. A stripper pole in the privacy of one’s own home can add to a couple’s imagination while providing a “new toy” per say to express your sensual side and create interest and excitement in the bedroom. So ladies and gentlemen, or should I say diva vixens and stud muffins put up your stripper dancing poles for exercising and or sex.

Both men and women are enjoying the benefits gained
from pole dancing. One article that I read made mention that the stripper pole
was no longer just for young women only; that men and women beyond their 30’s
are exploring pole dancing as a means of getting in shape while having fun. In conclusion pole dancing is for exercise and or sex it is
an individual decision. Comments are always welcomed...

OMG, so many effort, just for a little bit of pleasure. Well, I prefer hiking and gardening (shovel and hoe look like pole as well, and while hiking you need the stick, that looks like pole with a little bit of imagination). Maybe my style is not so sexy, but it spices up life as such, as well.
Thank you for very interesting Hub, I really enjoyed it, but will stick to the above mentioned "poles".
LOL I would die in laughter if my wife tried that. Did you see that video of the woman who wanted to surprise her husband with it in the living room? She was er, overweight and when she hit the pole it ripped it out of the ceiling and down she went. LOL I think that would happen with my wife.
@hypnodude - I agree that once an individual learns the moves and survives the pain of the exercises the rewards would definite spice up one's life. :)
@Tatjana - "You go girl," you definitely have an exercise routine that requires strength and "poles." :) I am enjoying learning about the exercise routines of other Hubbers via this HubMob topic. Thanks to you both for your comments! :)
@ralwus - LOL, you are hilarious! Yes, obviously pole dancing will not be the choice of exercise for everyone that's why I felt it important to include that video clip.:)
However, in your wife's defense you can have a platinum dancing pole "specially" made to sustain additional weight! Thanks for stopping, I always enjoy reading your comments :)
you go girl, but I am still challenging you to a dancing session you teach me this one too, LOL Maita
Ooh nooo Maita, I'm not ready for this yet! Considering putting it on my "to do" list though. :) But, believe me I will take you up on the cha cha, heck probably even the salsa, before this. At least with those dances, my feet will still be near the ground, LOL! Thanks for stopping by!:)
Think I must give this a miss lol
I took a pole dancing class once for about a year and yes, it did wonders for my body it looked fabulous. Sometimes I used some of the moves on my husband and well, you know the rest he loved it. This if a great hub, fun too!
@Ethel - LOL, O.k. Ethel, I think a lot of people will pass on this exercise. :)
@Madison - It looks like that once an individual gets strong enough to master the moves that this could be a lot of fun. Especially if there's a desire to be a "little sexy" and strut your stuff for your partner. :)Thanks for sharing your experience with this exercise regimen!
Thanks losestomachfat, if the missus is game for it maybe you could take a class together, that would be fun:)
Ha Ha I loved the video of the big woman and the broken pole. I could'nt stop laughing! I may only be small, but you can bet your bottom dollar that would be me! I would end up in casualty! Imagine trying to explain that! good hub. cheers Nell
Yeah it is funny, however, I felt this was a good way of making a point that one would need to take lessons rather than attempting to just do it on their own with no instructions. Thanks Nell for stopping by and having a good laugh.:)
I am still amazed that these girls can do this acrobatic stunts..well they look like acrobatic stunts to me. Hahahahaha
LOL, you're right ripplemaker! Now that I think about it some of the pole dancing exercises does remind one of some moves that the Cirque du Soleil might use in their warm-up! :)
Thanks for stopping by and commenting! :)
The acrobatic thing may not be for me..maybe I can try the sexy moves ROFL...hahahahaha Now that will be THE day!
Oh how funny...Now your partner will probably like your sexy moves if you can do them without ROFL...:) Have a great one, ripplemaker, and thanks for the laughs :)
Intresting read indeed!
but it's not me who actually does the lessons, it's Veena :O)
Hi Tara, Wow, it is great to meet you! Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting. I've made the correction in the text to reflect that Veena does the lessons.
It's really great to meet you. As you can see by the comments some of us are intrigued by the idea of pole dancing for exercise and or sex. Thanks for the link to your site on YouTube!:)
I'm already looking into it...This gave me the little plus I needed to really want to do it :) but needs to go to the gym and lose some extra padding and get a bit fit first.
I'm curious as well Sa Toya, however, I too have to - lose some extra padding and gym first. :) Thanks for stopping by and commenting and have fun with your quest. :)
I like the idea of this..I think it would be a great art to learn just for the fitness, if not only for the fact it is very sensual.
Great hub - I can see nothing negative about pole dancing - it is what it is. Obviously it looks like good exercise.
That was a great and fun Hub! It made me laugh, and totally respect the athleticism required. And that was one heck of a pole dance by the stud muffin!! I'm sending my husband out to learn THAT!!
Thanks!
@donotfear - I agree it is definitely sensual and is an art of exercise, that requires accuracy and finest similar to yoga, tai chi, and others. Thanks for the read!
@healthgoji - Yeap, you're right, "It is what it is." :)
Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
@mbwalz - I am so glad that you had a fun reading this hub, and you found it informative. It was my pleasure to research and compose this one. Good luck, convincing your stud muffin to learn this art of dance. :)
good message
I saw this come up on the HubMob, but wasn't able to look right away. Glad I've found it again. Good hub! My daughter does pole-dancing and is excellent, but then she was always interested in gymnastics. As for me, I prefer to keep my feet firmly on the ground, besides I'd be highly likely to have the sort of disaster you show in that video!!!
LOL, yeah, I agree WriteAngled, while I am intrigued with the idea of being strong enough to do some of the acrobatic moves; I've never been very athletic. In other words, I need to keep my two left feet on the ground as well. :) Thanks for commenting!
Great hub!!! It provided immense joy while going through your hub. The photographs displayed were gorgeous and superb. The style of presentation was very lucid and attractive. The benefit of pole is hugely informative and knowledgeable culminated with tremendous joy. Thanks a lot for providing such a wonderful hub.
Very nice hub, will have to share this one with the missus, thanx heaps!
Wow. By far the best hub yet!!!! These girls are hot! They also have amazing talent. I wish i was the pole!!!!!
@stephensaldana - Hey, Stephen, I definitely can tell you are a writer. Your comments are always so thorough and rich with enlightenment. Thanks for the read!:)
@Online Degrees and ipodmovies - Thanks for stopping by and commenting on pole dancing for exercise or sex. Your reading the article is greatly appreciated.
I saw this on TV and they made it look so easy. But I'll stop at watching them because I don't want to end up like the woman in the video LOL. But anybody who can manage to do this, my hats off to them :). Thanks for the hub Money Glitch.
LOL, yeah emievil it does appear to be very smooth and easily done on TV; however, I think the reality of the lady falling is probably more real life in the beginning anyway. :) Needless to say there is no skimping on exercise in pole dancing. LOL, I'm glad you enjoyed the read. :)
My Ex used to pole dance for me.
But I Personally think (from freinds experiences), That Its more of a hobby ---> Unless your a stripper or something like that...
Hello IBarfClownSauce, what a unique name. :) It is good to meet you. Thanks for the read and the comments of your experience of pole dancing for exercise or sex.:) Hobby, indeed- that requires a lot of strength training. :)
Wow this is something I always have wanted to try but it has always looked so hard. You have encouraged me to give it a whirl.
Alright Isabelle! Give it a whirl and be sure to let me know how it works out for you. :) It's great to meet you and thanks for the read!
I knew a young woman during college that danced in a local club and I have to say after she had been working at this club for a about six weeks you could see the change in her body. Her legs and butt were incredible!! I was so totally jealous...lol..kidding........no I'm not..lol
Wow, that was fast results! She must have really built her body strength fast or was already use to lifting weights or something. I think I would probably have been a little jealous as well...LOL! Thanks for stopping by and commenting StormRyder!:)
I am humbled that such a fantastic writer with this number 1 hub thanked me for my tips, you are an amazing writer, never forget that as the rest will follow !
Aaaah, thank you TattoGuy, I as believe in giving credit where credit is due. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on pole dancing for exercise or sex. :)
I definitely see a difference in my hub scores since reading your hub on "How to Make Money on HubPages". As the kids say,- U tha man!:)
Informative hub there... Just add about polling; use your own damn pole! Nothing worse than having to share someone elses bodily greases. A pole is only as strong as the bolts holding it into the roof. Get a hunk to come and drill some studs to be safe. And never lube your pole with WD40. That's just dangerous!
Francine (trying to defy gravity)
Thanks for stopping by and commenting Francine; and offering some tidbits from personal experience. :)
First Taebo and now pole dancing for exercising. In one of my gym classes there are two poles and the gym instructor were pretending to be a dancer using these poles yesterday.
Hi Kenrick, Great to meet you! I agree with you, it is surprising that gyms have begun teaching classes in pole dancing. However, based on my research one would have to be "fit in the gym" in order to flow smoothly into learning pole dancing. Thanks for sharing your insight. :)
I use pole dancing for exercise, I exercise my right to sit at a table and drink beer while girls dance around a pole... LMAO j/k I have heard it really is great exercise and who am I to say otherwise.
LOL, How funny! Thanks for stopping by and commenting! :)
Pole dancing is now regarded as a recognized form of exercise and can be used as both an aerobic and anaerobic workout. Recognized schools and qualifications are being developed as pole dancing increases in popularity, with the overall sex appeal toned down.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting Illuminati. It does seem as though this is the latest "hip" form of exercising. A friend said two poles went up in her gym this week. :)
Pole dancing is great exercise? Wow, now I have a great way to sell the wife on it! Not only is it great fun, but exercise. It's a win, win for everybody.
I am sorry. I didn't read your hub. I tried but couldn't get past the beautiful girl dancing....
@ Video Dude - Good luck on convincing your wife to take up pole dancing for exercise. She might want you to take the class as well. :) Either way it should be fun!
@festersporling1 - LOL, How funny... Well at least you're honest about not reading the hub. LOL, thanks for stopping by and watching the videos:)
I have to say, I'm slightly inspired by this. With my break-dancing background I could probably pull this off pretty well. I wonder where women go to see male pole dancers, though. Haha!
Hi Gregg, you are probably right that you could adapt to pole dancing with ease. I'm not sure if the ladies' clubs have stripper poles or not. It's been years since I went to one. LOL! Thanks for stopping by and have fun if you decide to try it. :)
I put out my back just watching that vid. =O
Nice to see Pole Dancing for Exercise or Sex still at Number 1 on hubs, I hope it also hits the big 100 !
@Hungry Huy - LOL, How funny! But I have to agree if an individual has a tendency towards suffering neck and back injuries you might want to pass on this exercise training. :)
Thanks for the read!
@TattoGuy - Yes, it keeps inching up there doesn't it. Maybe, your comment will push it to 100: Thanks for stopping by. :)
Interesting topic nicely done informative too!
Nice hub, well laid out and loaded with good information
It is great to meet both of you! :)
@WebbyAvatar - Thanks for the read and commenting :)
@online scam check - Thanks for stopping by and commenting. :)
Wow! Great hub here! I am so tempted to get one of these. A friend of mine has one in hergarage where she does her Yoga. She had to reinforce the roof fittings twice because the exercises are very vigorous! I have a place to put one. I think it would realy improve my figure. After seeing my friend's great toned body, I am keen on trying it. Great way to tone that butt! : )
Hey Cheeky Girl, I will admit that the idea of learning to pole dance is intriguing to me, however, that's about it. Perhaps if I were like you and had a friend already doing it, I would be encouraged and more motivated to actually do it.
I say "go for it girl", and get those "buns of steel". Thanks for stopping by! :)
I've been a pole dancer for over ten years now and I love it. It's good fun, keeps me fit and well my boyfriend drools like a baby every time I do a show for him! Bottom line is pole dancing is both for sex and exercise and I encourage women to take it up as it does a lot of good. Great hub and an inspiration to my hub too. Thanks xx
Thanks so much Mamelody for stopping by and sharing you experience with pole dancing for exercise or sex. I have to agree with you that this is one exercise that can be both fun and appealing to our love ones. Thanks for your comments of support. :)
Hi,
Rach, my wife would probably kill me if she knew I was saying anything here but she does this dancing for me, now with a pole but for years before without one and we both love it (her doing it). Never thought before of me actually getting active in the same way!
Hi, It is nice to meet you Jamie. Hhhhhmmmm, sounds like your wife can testify to the fact that it pole dancing is both for exercise and fun for sex! Thanks for stopping by Jamie and sharing your experience. :)
Definately for fitness. It is becoming more and more popular these days.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting on pole dancing for exercise or sex and sharing your insight as an instructor of pole dancing.
I loved the video, "Pole Dancing Gone Bad." its too funny.
I have to agree Wesley, the video is just a perfect example of attempting to do something on your own without knowing what you are doing. I've probably seen it 10 times and each time I laugh. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. :)
Excellent Hub! I've been considering pole dancing classes for awhile, and I've often wondered if it really is a workout or just something special to show the hubby. Your Hub rocked.
Hi Ted thanks for the compliment, stopping by for a read and commenting. :)

Whatever the reason it's a good form of exercise, together with belly dancing. And as you said it can spice up sentimental life. Very well done Money.
