Pole dancing is becoming increasingly popular. It is a form of fun, but for many it is also a great way to lose weight. An individual can sculpt and tone their body. Many gyms and dance centers are now offering pole dancing as an actual class. The instructor aims to help individuals lose weight using the sensual moves of pole dancing.
Many pole dancing moves emphasize working the abdomen and the legs. The fact that you are constantly moving and swinging, will strengthen the arms and get them toned very quickly. You will burn calories at the same time. In some instances these classes are also taught for women who are interested in not only getting healthy, but interested in learning a new skill set as well. Classes will vary in the length. They can be as short as thirty minutes and as long as an hour and a half. If you are a member of a local gymnasium, you will want to ask them if they offer the class. Some offer the class for a specified amount of time. Often the class is an additional fee above and beyond your standard gym membership. You will want to determine if this is the case.
Pole dancing as a sport for purely health and fitness purposes is frequently referred to as 'pole fitness' and compared to some other forms of sport, it is physically demanding. A combination of muscle endurance training, interval training and fartlek training, are demonstrated when pole dancing which make it a highly effective work out.
It is a great form of cardio vascular exercise and muscle toning, engaging the core muscles throughout the work out. Using techniques that stem from ballet, contemporary dance and gymnastics, pole fitness is a fusion of the three. The flexibility required for this sport is intense. You can expect rigorous stretching routines to commence from the first session as this will aid you in your dancing and make the moves and tricks all the easier.
Often, people are surprised by exactly how demanding the class can be. It is a rigorous workout, but the fact that it is so much fun often distracts them from the intensity of the workout.

In some cases you may be able to take a trial class to see if the pole fitness classes are for you.
