Sexiest Way to stay fit in Hollywood !!

Pole dancing helps celebrities stay sexy

In LA, "working out" is an essential part of the day.
Some hike in the Hollywood Hills (Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake).

Some strap on the spandex (Jake Gyllenhaal, Matthew McConaughey, Lance Armstrong).
There are those that strike a pose (Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow, Christy Turlington).
While others prefer Pilates (Sandra Bullock, Liv Tyler, Halle Berry).
Most have a personal trainer and many take part in pole dancing.
"It's just one of those things that you don't realise that you are capable of doing until you actually do it," says Kate Hudson who has recently become "addicted".
"You are there with a bunch of girls and you are all having the best time. You are hootin' and hollering and you walk out of the class and you are like 'Ow! I love life!' It really gets your energy up!"
Hudson says she's never been stronger and has installed a pole at home so she can practise. She's also planning on getting her mum Goldie Hawn in on the act.
Pole dancing is nothing new to Hollywood. Demi Moore showed us the body benefits of being a stripper almost 10 years ago and since then sexy workouts (that often include poles) have been popping up all over the place.
"Cardio Striptease" classes were a big hit with celebrities in Los Angeles, Miami and New York, while Carmen Electra came up with her own way to work up a sweat called "Fit to Strip."
"It's not about looking at yourself, it's about finding confidence in your body," explains Teri Hatcher who "can't get enough" of the sexy workout.
The Desperate Housewives star takes part in pole dancing and striptease workouts in Los Angeles and has demonstrated the sexy moves for chat show queen Oprah (who is also a fan) and Jay Leno.
"It's amazing how (stretching) can make you feel sexy," she told Leno after her performance and says it was actress Sheila Kelley who got her hooked.
Kelley started teaching workouts in 2001 after "discovering sexual power and a fit body" while preparing for a role in the film Dancing at the Blue Iguana.
She now has studios in seven locations around the US, a line of lingerie and removable stripper poles so you can practise at home. (www.sfactor.com)
Not surprisingly, Pammy Anderson has one in her bedroom. The former Baywatch babe has been pole dancing on the big screen as part of Elton John's concert extravaganza The Red Piano that has been showing in the strip capital of the world, Las Vegas.
Earlier this year Kate Moss caused quite a stir when she put on an impromptu performance with Lindsay Lohan at a New York strip club as part of her 32nd birthday celebrations.
A few months later Paris Hilton bought the house down — literally — when she tried to take part in the act at her swinging heiress pad.
"Paris and Stavros were dancing together on Paris's stripper pole when they ripped it out of the ceiling and fell to the floor," reported a party spy on defamer.com.
Now the hotel heiress is sharpening her skills and employing "some sexy dancers" to take on tour with her to promote her album Paris due out later this month.
The Pussy Cat Dolls chorographer Robin Akin is creating the show so there's bound to be a pole in there somewhere. Let's hope Paris looks to the material mum (who effortlessly mounts the pole in her Confessions tour) or takes a leaf out Kylie Minogue's pole dancing pop princess book before bringing her act down under.
