A Day With Danity Kane And A Stripper Pole

I’ll be the first to admit that I was skeptical when learning about Flirty Girl Fitness. I’ve never felt the need to ‘feel sexy’ at the gym. Do sweatpants and an old baseball t-shirt count as sexy? Probably not. However, I had the chance to check the place out for an interview. Soon, skepticism switched to horror when I was asked to learn some stripper pole basics from one of the pole dancing instructors. Knowing that this opportunity doesn’t happen to everyone – I climbed on. After several bruises and a couple falls later, I have huge respect for those who take on the pole. I was amazed at how difficult it actually is. Strippers just make it looks so easy!

Well enough about me, I went to Flirty Girl Fitness to chat with D. Woods from Danity Kane. She was in town for Flirty Girl’s celebrity instructor series. I was expecting her to walk in acting like a diva, but she was really sweet and down to earth, plus, all of the proceeds from the class went to breast cancer research. During the class, Miss Woods taught a selection of dance and ab routines from her new video, ‘Crunk Abs.’

While I still have no idea what ‘crunk’ means, it certainly looked challenging and the participants seemed to be having a good time. I must admit that I’ve seen the light and maybe I will give this whole sexy cardio, pole dancing flirty fitness thing a try. For now, while I ice my knees from all that falling, check out some of the class and my interview with D. Woods.
