She has no intentions of ever becoming a stripper, but she loves the intense workout.<br /><br />I believe they actually have pole-dancing competitions -- no nudity, just acrobatic feats.<br /><br />I wasn't sure if you were going to end the post revealing that you enjoyed it -- but clearly not! It sounds like a reasonably fun way to improve muscle tone -- you've got to be incredibly strong to do some of those moves, or so I've been told, but doing a "sexy pushup" does sound quite embarrassing :-/<br /><br />Still, you got an amusing blogpost out of it! :)Johnny Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13302545167970532080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-7170796185547672262013-01-21T07:56:34.857-08:002013-01-21T07:56:34.857-08:00Treif Magnifique -- love it!
