Hello! Recently I've become aware that lots of people do something called pole fitness, which I guess is pole dancing but purely for exercise purposes (and I guess for a significant other should they enjoy that hehe).

Anyways was wondering if anyone had experience in doing this - my 2 concerns are;

1. I am PRE op and is it a bad idea doing this since it exposes that region (I have some shorts that aren't tight which are suitable to wear but you know what I mean).
2. Is it relatively easy to start out, or is it impossible apart from with lots of practice? I used to rock climb, but had to stop, so I think the strength thing should be ok (although it's massively reduced since I started hrt :S)

Thanks!

Huuuumm well there was this one time where I dropped my iPod three days after my SRS and I could walk around kinda fine so I went 'Meh I should be okay' *bends down to grab iPod* then it happened... felt like sandpaper being rubbed a little too rough against me labia (it was my shorts ) however I must tell you that I didn't pick up my iPod I almost reached it tho. *stands back up and goes to sit on sofa then yells to mum in kitchen*
'Mum I dropped my iPod!'
Mum:*sighs really loud*....again?

I am almost 3 months post op and I want to try this..

It is very popular... My gym which I joined, offers it.. I want to take it with my roommate.. so girl bonding time


hay my future partner will enjoy the show I will be able to give...

Hooray for girl bonding time! And them "shows"  nyehehe. Yeah I plan on going too but the gyms here don't offer that kinda stuff. There is one tho but its so far from where I live.

ohh no I said PRE op haha. I meant is it either going to be painful/uncomfortable for that area/will it be exposed for everyone to see O_O (I would like to avoid any awkward situations)

Thanks anyway

Which surgeons did you use if you don't mind me asking..? Are you happy with the results?

Dr. Kamol and yes I'm really happy with the results 

I just tried it and it is SO SUPER FUN!!! Seriously recommend pole fitness to anyone reading this!!

This is definitely on my to-do list - post op - so hopefully by the end of this year. Exercise wise im already doing a lot of core work - and learning how to selectively activate different muscle groups and change breathing patterns. Hello flat stomach; goodbye unwelcome bloating.... which will help with the strength on the pole...
