I need some good standing core exercises for my cardio-kick class?
I have a strength section in the routine as of right now I am building my business and can’t buy equipment. I know of plenty of floor exercises for the core but I really don’t want to get on the floor during the class. I have mostly pretty fit people coming to my class right now so something that is able to be modified for less fit individuals but challenging for my fellow advanced pole fitness students would be great or even a free place to find videos that will help me find a few good exercises. Thanks!
Partner resistance warding exercises work great at training core stability: Have one person stand with hands together, arms straight out front shoulder level, the other person stands perpendicular and presses his or her hands against the forearm. Both people need to maintain a solid core while the first person taps his or her legs back. Variations include tapping on a diagonal, or once they are good, balancing on 1 leg. If you have bands there are numerous similar variations you can do, including holding the lower body still and moving the arms. Partner band wood chops are also fun.
