Trying Out a Pole Fitness Class

Well, this should be interesting... Per a tweetee's recommendation, I just signed up for a Intro to Pole Fitness class at a local pole fitness studio.

Interesting because I am the biggest klutz in the world. Throw a pole into the mix and ack. But, will be intriguing to try it. I've read that one's arm strength increases from these classes, so that would be a good thing.

And, come on. It's pole fitness -- yes, fitness classes involving a pole like you'd find in a strip club. The studio also offers pole dancing classes and chair dancing classes and flexibility lessons a la yoga. Considering that the pole fitness classes themselves involve actually climbing up the pole (which just gave me flashbacks to having to climb the rope in gym class in middle school -- do I have to mention how badly that went? Didn't think so.), I'm thinking that the dance classes or flexibility ones might be more up my alley.

But I'll start out with the intro class and see how that goes first. And of course there will be a future blog post describing it. No question.
