Pole Zen Fitness instructor Kimberly Kerr demonstrates a technique to a Level II pole exercise student, Andrea Miller of Mount Wolf, on Thursday, Aug. 23, 2012, at the Manchester Township studio. Kerr opened the Pole Zen Fitness studio in May after teaching herself to exercise on a pole and getting certified. She and other instructors offer classes of varying difficulty in pole exercise.
Shot a pole exercise class for a story last month. I’d never watched nor seen pole (dance) exercise before, and these ladies definitely get a legitimate workout in their arms, core and legs. That said, I’ll stick to my favorite mode of exercise: running.
