Today you'll work with my active back mobility routine because it's important to train all parts of our body to maintain balance. Pole dance requires whole body mobility, which means focusing on splits alone will not provide enough training to help you with everything that pole demands.
Pro tip: This routine was designed to improve tricks like: Twisted ballerina, Janeiro, Allegra, Dove, Ballerina, Bridges, and more!
Items needed:
Active back routine with individual exercise tutorials listed below.

"Any one at any age can Improve their range of motion and quality of life, it's never to late to start caring for your body"- Veena RIGHT ON! Exactly what I needed to hear right now.
xoxoxo
"Any one of any age can improve, it's never to late" Love these words! Thank you!! So important and encouraging to hear especially in a society that is ok with ageism.
???
lol good, because I didn|t do it 😁
Noooo. Anytime there's a routine its always one time. I less I tell you otherwise 😁
Should we also be repeating the lower body routine 3 times?
Done with Day 5!
Sounds like your hips are just a bit too tight for that option. Feel free to skip that one.
Hi! I’m having a bit of trouble with the Lying Outer Thigh Stretch. I find that my hip starts lifting before I ever feel a stretch, and I feel a “pinching” or “locking” sensation in my hip flexor/groin as I go into the stretch. I tried shifting the position of my leg (angling slightly more towards my toes or my head) but I’m still really having trouble with this one. Any advice you can give me, or should I just find a different stretch for the outer thigh that works better for me? Thanks!
You don't have to do the full 15 seconds, that's more of a max! Also I don't think most people actually time it :)
3 sets of each seems like a lot, it took me a full hour to do 1 set of each of these lol
Thanks for pointing out that anyone any age can improve. I'm 31 and feeling like I've lost the opportunity to become flexy. I've made huge progress but I'm at that point where I'm kinda stuck. If my strength progress is any indication I'll probably be stuck for about 2-3 months and suddenly see huge progress. I just need to keep trying!
Sounds like you just need to start with less of an open position, don't force it and you'll start to see your body relax into it more than if you start off pushing. 😊
I always feel a pain/tightness in my abductors when I first go into sitting V. Should I be stretching them more?
Ok , I feel like I am now healing nicely am I best to just completed the 30 day flexi first and do nothing else until this is completed ??
If that day off says to rest than rest.
Completed day 5 , can I do beginner lessons on my day off from 30 day flexi ?
This video mentions links to understand some individual stretches, but I don't see those. Am I missing something? I really struggled with this day, I couldn't understand half the stretches or really see what you were doing or how to use the tools ?
Thank you for catching that! When I updated this program I forgot to add the link that takes you to the original tutorial, which contains all of the individual breakdowns I mention. The link has been added - links are always listed in the descriptions in PINK text. It can also be helpful to familiarize yourself with the next day to see if it would be helpful to watch any follow along routines before you use them. We'll be using the routines more than once and it's totally common to feel a little lost when first working with a new routine. If you're new to pole I suggest using the beginner level programs before this one as it will guide you in working with many of the stretches and concepts I use in this program.
