I much prefer working out in my own house than anywhere else. If you're self conscious and want to test out pole dancing in privacy, this video is perfect for you. Many fitness stores sell home poles that you can easily install in your basement or workout room. You don't have to join a gym to get fit and this tutorial proves it.

I know it doesn't sound very comfortable, but the title is referring to the burn you'll feel in your muscles when you do this routine. You'll sculpt and strengthen your arms, legs, back, butt and shoulders while having a great time. The girl in the video is wearing some pretty big heels, but you don't have to if you don't want to.

If you want to build lean and strong muscles, you'll get exactly that from this routine. The very strength required to stay on the pole and move your body around it requires a certain amount of strength, but with time and a consistent routine, you will notice your entire body getting stronger with each workout.
