When people think of pole dancing, they usually imagine seedy clubs and fake boobs.
I think it’s fair to assume that just about every man (and probably most of our female readers) have spent time at the peelers at least once in their lives. They can be greatly entertaining, and yes, pole dancing is a pretty big part of the experience. But did you know that pole dancing is – I’m told – an excellent way to get fit outside of the strip club? Did you know that extremely strong, extremely flexible people like Oona Kivelä actually compete to be the world’s best pole dancer?
Oona Kivelä – Crazy Strong, Crazy Flexible
If you ask me, there’s nothing more impressive than a strong woman. Somewhere along the line a bit of a stigma developed around women actually lifting weights and getting strong and fit. But… I’ll look too buff! I’ll look like the hulk!! That… is absolute bullshit, and if you’re hearing that excuse from your girlfriend or friend – male or female – please do them a favor and pass along this video. Maybe my eyes are broken, but Oona Kivelä does not look like a refrigerator to me.
What did you guys think? Impressive, no?
If it takes pole dancing for everyone to get strong, then so be it. I’ll be first in line to start promoting the shit out of it here on Unfinished Man. I happen to think it would have a nice little side effect in the bedroom of many a man as well, so that doesn’t hurt either. Everyone can do a little rock climbing (notice the holds in the video?), a little pole dancing… I can wear my silver outfit; it will be brilliant.
More Oona
If you want to find out a bit more about the lovely Oona Kivelä, then head over to her official website and have a look around. She actually started out as a gymnast, and it’s obvious that she’s worked her ass off for a long, long time.
