Pretty soon your girlfriend is going to be ditching the old Stair Master for the new and improved, well, maybe not so new, but definitely improved way of using the classic stripper pole to get back in shape. No, your girlfriend is not going to become a stripper at The Winking Oyster, but she may very well be sliding up and down the old stripper pole to bolster her appearance. These pole-dance workouts increase upper body strength by using the body itself as resistance while toning the body as a whole. After a couple of weeks on the pole, no pun intended, these women will be able to slap the douche bag out of Chuck Norris. This nontraditional workout makes tae-bo look like child's play and provides a way for every woman to stay fit and feel fabulous.

Pole dancing workouts are quickly growing in popularity so there may very well be one in your backyard.  Leigh Anne Reilly opened the hottest pole dancing gym in Los Angeles called BeSpun and it is thriving.  It’s located on 5176 Santa Monica Blvd. Hollywood, CA 90029 and offers not only pole dancing, but also a variety of other classes including a sexy boot camp and spin classes.  BeSpun is pioneering an entirely new and improved take on fitness providing women with a safe and nurturing environment for the exploration of their femininity; while presenting women the opportunity to feel sexy and free.  I think I am going to take matters into my own hands to sign up my girlfriend, and you should do the same…thank me later.  Check out Leigh Ann’s gym, BeSpun, and learn more on her upcoming show, “Legends”, at IAMROGUE.com
