Pole Dancing...

I just knew people couldn't resist commenting on the pole dancing aspects of Saturday's bonding session!....it's described as fitness with a twist!

Some of the benefits of pole dancing include:

• Increased upper body strength
• Tones arms, shoulders, back, thighs and calves
• Builds core stability while creating a toned stomach
• Improves coordination and flexibility

Here are the different classes run by fitsistas:

Powapole™45 is a 45 minute workout in a hurry class that gets straight to the point. Perfect for beginners or those ladies that find it hard to fit in the time to exercise, we will get you moving and burning calories in no time at all.

Tone and Pulse are beginner classes, you will learn basic tricks and combine them into a cardio routine for a great workout. You don't have to be fit or be able to lift yourself to commence any Powapole™ Classes, we will help you do that...just be ready to work hard and have heaps of fun!

Powapole™2 is designed for ladies who have already completed at least one Term of Tone or Pulse (preferably two Terms) and want to continue working out at a higher level for maximum strength, cardio and fat loss benefits...learn to link your tricks together and stay in the air for extended periods, combined with a cardio routine this is a challenging and rewarding class.
