I was searching for some info to share with you guys on keeping fit and getting fit enough to pole dance as its kind of the mission we are on in class at the minute. And judging by the strength of the guys who attended week one of intermediate course on thursday and how much the improver pole dancers have progressed in 5 weeks since January its definitely doing the jobm so have been looking at ways of keeping you challenged and hungry. I then came accross the article below that hit the spot with regards motivation for anything, so thought you might like to read.
Enjoy!
get fit with pole dancing
If there’s one manifesto quote I love, it’s ‘do one thing a day that scares you’. Whether it’s skydiving, making that dreaded phone call, giving feedback to a colleague, or just sharing your big hairy audacious goal, setting our sights on anything out of the norm can be a daunting task. But treading uncharted waters can help each and every one of us expand our comfort zone so that we keep growing and yearning for more
 Recently lululemon Ala Moana featured a pole-dancing studio called Fit for a Goddess as our store’s studio of the month. We had in-store pole dancing demonstrations and a complimentary introductory class just for ladies. Seeing these athletic women fly through the air in front of complete strangers inspired me to sign up for a series of pole-dancing classes. I’ve always been more of a tomboy: ask any of my friends and they’ll tell you that the extent of my dance repertoire consists of the robot, running man, or any other goofy move you can think of. So walking into a class that focused on femininity was at first a little uncomfortable for me
 Our teacher encouraged us to embrace our sexuality, to move our bodies with grace and strength, and to be comfortable with ourselves – no matter what age, shape or size. No judgments on ourselves or each other. At the end of our first class, our teacher told us it was “showcase time”. We had to perform the dance number in small groups for the rest of the class. My heart started thumping and my palms started to sweat. We got up, did our thing, and it was over as quickly as it started.
After class I laughed to myself – now THAT was doing one thing a day that scares you. At least for me. While a dance class might not be a big deal for some… we all have different fears, push ourselves in numerous ways, and in the end, our take away lessons vary. But hopefully trying something new fuels our hunger for more – out of ourselves, out of others, and out of life.
 Stay Fabulous, Fit & Feminine!
