Just 'cause she dances Go-Go, that don't make her a Ho, NO

So I have been taking Pole Aerobics classes, and let me tell you that they are kicking my ass.  It is a great workout and I am learning a lot of things, but man am I sore.  There are days the Husband has to push me out of bed because I cannot even get up.  I am covered in bruises, and quite frankly, I am not feeling any sexier.  That being said, I LOVE THE HELL OUT OF THESE CLASSES. 
It is not pole dancing, it is pole aerobics.  I am learning tricks on the pole and using them as exercise.  We do crunches, squats, lunges, and all kinds of other things that you cannot imagine.  It is fun, so it does not seem like a workout.  Ok that is a lie.  There are parts that feel like a workout.  The squats and crunches:TORTURE.  I guess I should remind everyone out there that I am a complete d-bag when it comes to working out.  I whine worse than my children.  The last class I told the instructor that I hated her a few times, tried to bribe her to stop the pain, and at one point sat down and refused to participate.  I am a tool.  But at the end of the day I appreciate her pushing me, and am thankful for all I have learned.  But for that hour while she is trying to make my body bend in ways it doesn't and is pushing me harder than I have ever been pushed, I would like to tie her to the pole by her labia and force her to listen to endless hours of Nickleback and Creed. 
Here are some benefits to the classes: 1) My husband definitely does not mind forking out the money for these classes as he blindly believes it will lead to some forking for him later on.  2)  It encourages me to workout on days that I am not in class and I feel motivated to finally lose the pregnancy weight (can I still call it that after so long?!!?)  3) it is a fun way to exercise and 4) It definitely is a great conversation starter.  "Me?  Oh the workout clothes, and the bruises that cover my body?  Oh I have just been pole dancing, no biggie"  5) It is a great way to spend time with girlfriends
Here are some cons:  1) It can get pricey and going more than once a week is not really option for me at this point  2) The classroom is wall to wall mirrors and the only thing worse than hanging from a pole is being forces to look at my pastey white ass hanging from the pole  3)  It has set me up for some unrealistic expectations from the husband
So obviously the pros outweigh the cons, and this blog was written for the sole purpose of encouraging other ladies to look into these classes.  They are amazing and will really change your life, whether you are looking to lose weight, get fit, or get sexy!
