Powerlifting..weightlifting..bodybuilding..poledancing..wait what??

Sooo a pole dancing gym has opened nearby, the advert spruiking  the  health benefits of getting fit and having fun while poledancing.

Now I consider myself to be fairly broadminded but I just don't get the concept of poledancing as a mainstream fitness activity for the average lady. Don't misunderstand me I am very clear about the difficulties required to perform said movements clearly the few strippers I have encountered during  mates bucks nights are clearly in shape and have amazing muscle control.

But I digress. My point is I would suspect poledancing would require a fair degree of muscle and coordination to actively use it to stay in shape. Therefore I am not sure how the utility translates to the average housewife looking to get fit?  Also explain this to me given the traditional seedy connotations for traditional stripper establishments it must be somewhat difficult attracting mainstream woman to an endeavour that has its background in a profession which is typically associated with woman flashing their nether regions for cash?!



I suspect my befuddlement is more about me getting older but...no... actually poledancing for fitness is the same as me opening up a male stripper class for men. We can all tie off our johnson with a rubber band, throw on a g-string and a policeman outfit and convince ourself we are getting fit. See doesn't work does it...the concept is really dumb.

Can't wait to see what new franchised concept some numpty will think of to get people in shape rather than just shutting the fuck up and lifting some heavy ass weight!
