Men, say "hello" to pole fitness.
[Roksolana Chubenko | GQ India]
If you’ve wondered how to lose weight and get fit, say hello to pole fitness, the new way men are keeping fit. And yes, it is exactly what it sounds like. Pole fitness involves the art of pole dancing — something that isn’t just for women. Pole dancing is a physically tough and complicated sport. Yes, sport. It was officially recognized as one by Global Association of International Sport Federations (GAISF) in November 2017.
For me, personally, performing a pole dance is a complete workout. I get bored of the usual gym routine; pole dancing gives me strength and conditioning, by working with my own body weight. As a dancer, I find a lot of pleasure in learning and inventing new choreography routines using the pole. Moreover, pole dance has a high demand for flexibility, so we stretch and bend and stretch again. So if you do decide to learn to pole dance, you should know that it has benefits beyond the bedroom as well.
