Good way to fight childhood obesity?

Postby SLUDoubleDeuce on Tue Dec 12, 2006 6:01 pm

From the UK...

A Northumberland fitness instructor has defended plans to teach children as young as 12 how to pole dance.
Laraine Riddell will start classes in the New Year at a gym in Choppington, in which boys and girls will be taught to spin up and down on a pole.

Ms Riddell insists the classes are nothing but good exercise for children who are at risk of obesity.

Probably not the best idea, although this may be one of the best quotes of the year

But Michele Elliott, director of Kidscape, said the classes were "out of order". I am sure pole dancing is good exercise - but so is stripping. After all, strippers have great bodies.

That was the sound of everyone's jaw dropping onto the table for that comment.
