Restarting Pole, but can't use AB strength

I would like to pick all of your brains for a moment. I had a Tummy Tuck with Muscle Repair 2 months ago and was just released to start working out. Can lift, twist, jog, etc... EXCEPT I am not allowed to do any Direct AB WORK. For SURE NO CRUNCHES, or anything that resembles a crunch. So I guess I am only allowed to do pirouettes and some floor work? I am not allowed to lift my own body weight so I can't even do a freaking fireman... Guess I will take this time to work on transitions... Anyone have favorites they like to work on? Or favorite videos of others doing no climbing or spins or inverts? Thanks bunches...May get to go back ON the pole in February...I sure hope so.

Your pictures are fantastic! Congrats on the transformation...I'm planning on having a tt within the next year or so. There are lots of great video and tutorials on floorwork...but I would definitely go by doctors orders...you wouldn't want to mess up the great work they did!

Wow Anna...I had to chime in to congratulate you on your success! You look fantastic! Do you think you can do grounded spins? Stuff like a "step around" or some people call them "pole turns" This is a great time to improve your dance flow on the pole and on the floor...this is the stuff so many have difficulty disciplining themselves to work on (as opposed to spins and tricks) and yet it the most important part of our flow.
