No Pole Program: Day 10
Duration: 00:40:33
Today you’ll be working on strengthening your core which will allow you to perform more challenging tricks including back bending which will reduce your risk of injury. Each exercise will target your core in a slightly different way.
Pro tip: I’m reminding you to write down your reps if you are not yet able to complete them in the video. It’s totally fine, you’re not failing or doing anything wrong. I mention it because it’s important to keep track so you can aim to add one or two more next time. If you’re able to complete all reps demonstrated in the videos, well done! I don’t expect anyone to complete all of the reps demonstrated in the lesson today.
Your core is comprised of far more than the Rectus abdominis (six pack) so I’ve listed them below:
- Transverse abdominal muscle
- Rectus abdominis muscle
- Internal oblique muscle
- External oblique muscle
- Erector spinae muscles
- Lumbar multifidus
- Pelvic floor
- Quadratus lumborum muscle
- Transverspinalis
- Subcostal muscles
- Glutes
- Hip flexors
Allow the videos to play in order and follow along. Feel free to pause anytime you need to.

Whew! Wowza….My core is currently very weak. Glad to be on the road to re-strengthening. Thank you, Veena. 💕 10/10
Had to skip the torso rotations and twists, I checked with my physio and she’d rather I avoid them for now, but happy to say I managed everything else
