Pole dancing as a workout for men

First Published:

Men in China are taking up pole dancing as a new workout alternative.

The male pole dancers say the controversial form of dancing helps them build up their abs, arms and upper body strength.

The workouts are becoming so popular, gyms across Beijing are picking it up.

A year’s worth of classes can cost as much as $1,200.

Pole dancing still has a taboo in China, where it’s linked to the country’s sex industry.
