A Whole New Level Of Fitness

While at Sheridan's house over the new year week, I saw an ad for a very "strange" fitness program. It's called Flirty Girl Fitness (http://www.FlirtyGirlfit.com/) and is a home workout program with multiple DVD's available for purchase, as well as a...drumroll please...fitness pole that resembles a fire station pole.
Are you seeing where this is going?
Not only do you get the pole (which must be properly installed to the ceiling joists of your home), you get these DVD's which teach you how to do chair dances and many other interesting moves.
Ok, NOW do you see where this is going?
It's crazy that the newest fitness craze is nothing more than a class on how to be a good stripper.
I'm all about doing whatever works, but really?? Pole dancing? Chair dancing?
Holy cow, what has the fitness world come to?
As I sat there and watched the commercial, I found myself so totally freaked out by it that I couldn't possibly concentrate on the actual show I was trying to watch.
Sure, I'll joke about getting something like that. After all, I'm sure everyone would be impressed when I come in flashing tight abs, a tiny waist/bottom, and awesome legs and when asked how I attained them I simply say, "I did enough chair and pole dancing to work it all off."
Oy!
Anyway, I'm totally not judging those who purchase it. I'm sure it's an awesome calorie burner. However, if I were to be in the middle of a "workout session" and one of my darling kids walked in on me....oh the horror and the humiliation!
I think I'll stick to the boring old treadmill, stairclimber, and weightlifting...

But on the other hand I've never heard of a fat stripper...Just kidding! Thoughts of me and a pole makes me think of Jamie Lee Curtis trying to do a strip tease for her husband (Arnold Schasmnflksjdfom) in True Lies.

Seriously?!?!?! Holy cow...that's amazing. And have you tried it? I'm just curious about it all---John thinks it's a great idea, but then again...he's male. :)
