Staying Fit

Is there a stripper inside of you clawing to be free? Then pole dancing may be the fitness craze for you. Pole dancing is no longer just for strippers, but for soccer and P.T.A. moms, as well as middle-aged women-- they too are getting into the bump and grind of it all.

What follows are descriptions of a few of the moves that may have you wanting to purchase a pole by the end of this article. You'll be slithering and sliding around the pole in no time.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Stripper's Pole

Step 1

Now Walk It Out

Walk Around:

With shoulders pulled back and butt and chest pushed out, hold the pole in the crook of your arm, and strut slowly and with confidence around the pole.
Step 2

You Better Work that Pole!

Bridge:

Hold the pole with one hand while straddling the pole between your legs, slowly bending your knees and arching your back while easing backwards until you can see the person behind you.
Step 3

For All Sizes

Ripple:

Hold the pole with one hand lean forward into the pole with your shoulders, push your butt out, move your stomach forward until it touches the pole. Next, pull your shoulders back until the pole is between your legs. This should be a slow smooth motion.
Step 4

Getting Fit

Leg Grip:

Holding the pole with both hands, jump on the pole and grip the pole between your thighs, extend one leg while the other is still bent, and spin around the pole.
Step 5

Graduating Class

Reverse Hold:

Grasp the pole with your hands and fully extend your arms over your head. Hook the pole in the bend of your right leg, and with feet crossed behind you, slowly and seductively spin around the pole.
