Enjoyment is one of my main goals during my workouts. I never start a routine without feeling the pleasure of it; this allows me to surprise my muscles with different exercises and new activities. Keeping in mind to stay “out of the comfort zone”, otherwise there is know way for improvement!

A couple of months ago I started taking a pole dancing class. It was unbelievable, I discovered new ways of training that excited me and gave me a new burst of energy. It worked my entire body. Pole dancing class starts with stretching and core exercises to warm up. Then the music comes on, and the lights go down and excitement fills the air. The instructor goes into showing us tricks, transitions, and even certain moves on the pole, floor, and chair. Wow!, so amazing, as she moves slowly, she reminds us that we are women fit and sexy. It’s beautiful to be apart of and to watch.

The misconception is, pole dancing is for strippers and dirty minded girls… I think its prejudice when we try to address something we don’t know. In fact, its not just about “shaking butts”, Pole dancing is a complete workout, where you work your strength and core. There are a lot of movements involving the arms and legs muscles, plus a real deep stretch. The interesting point is that you get to know how to be graceful and sexy. Who doesn’t want to be fit and sexy at the same time? This is why pole dancing is becoming so popular and is getting a lot of attention. I practice 3 times a week and really enjoy it.  It will be a constant part of my fitness routine from now on!
