Pole Dancing For Fitness

[stickitupmyjinx]

"Okay, ladies," Vanessa said cheerfully, "who's ready to do some crunches? Not me, usually, that's for sure, but that's what we're doing today! Using your pole. That's right, these are pull-up crunches." Fear them.

Vanessa ran them through how to safely do the move (as detailed in this video in which women are wearing sports bras, use your SFW judgment) as well as an easier variation if they weren't quite there yet. "Now, this works all sorts of muscles. Guys might not find it that attractive because, let's face it, they could never, but who cares about them anyway. Try alternating five reps of crunches--or less, if that's what you can do--with walking around the pole properly and doing a dip," which she also demonstrated in the video, "or a fireman spin like we learned last week. Are there any questions? Does anyone need a spotter?"

Oh sure just do crunches while holding on to a pole no big.

Summer was pretty sure there were at least five guys in the universe who would find this attractive. There were no limits to that sort of thing. But Summer was mostly watching thr demonstration and considering the pole somewhat doubtfully.

Tip watched the crunches demonstration. Then looked down at her abdomen.

She was really wishing she'd done more exercise in her free time right now.

Work the Pole!

Summer often didn't realize her own strength, and she had built this up to be more complicated than it was. But when she struggled at first out of sheer lack of confidence, she gave herself a little mental pep talk. How in the hell did she expect to infiltrate a whole galactic government of she couldn't pull off a few lousy pole crunches? She tried to channel that one time she and Rick buffed up to beat up the devil. Sure, there may have been sone performance enhancing drugs then, but that girl who cold bench twice her body weight had to be in there somewhere.

So the more she tried, the easier and better it became

Tip . . . didn't got this. Not yet, anyway.

She could absolutely get her knees up to her elbows, but the "controlled" part wasn't quite happening just yet. Less because of her abs than her arms, really. She kept expecting to lose her grip and fall, so her legs came thumping back down after each rep.

It also wasn't helping that she was basically jumping instead of lifting. A spotter was probably not going to be the worst idea for her.

Talk to Vanessa
