PoleDancingRN

Hello. I am a married, a mom, a Registered Nurse, and have fallen in love with pole dancing/fitness, thanks to a friend of mine who encouraged me to look into classes. I have been on a journey for a little over a year now to lose weight and be more fit. Believe it or not, I was pushing 200 pounds last year. I am now down about 50 pounds. I have been to gyms, done workouts in my own home (Beachbody Programs), etc. Never in a million years would I have thought my favorite type of exercise would involve dancing around a pole. I'm addicted and love it. Pole dancing is way for me to maintain my figure while having fun. I don't necessarily look at it as "working out", but rather a means of having fun and burning calories at the same time. Anyway, have been poling since the end of February 2013. Started taking classes locally and then invested in an X-Pole so I could continue to practice what I learned in the studio at home. I enjoy reading the info in the forums as well as watch other members' videos. Many of you are my inspiration!
