Contrary to popular belief, pole dancing is not only confined to the sleazier side of the street.

This video clip is from the US Pole Dancing Championships and, as you will see, a girl has to be pretty darned fit to compete in this arena.

Now when I say ‘fit’ I mean as an athlete, we all know they’re FIT, don’t we?!

So I just thought I’d show you what you need to be practising on if you want to enter next year’s Championships. Great bit of music too.

This post is definitely not just another excuse to show a bit of gratuitous scantily-clad girly stuff. Even if it was, what’s wrong with that anyway?

What do you think? Gratuitous exhibitionism or serious exercise routine?
