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!
There are so many ways to activate the core standing. I will give you one.
Standing with the arms straight out to the sides at just below (lower for shoulder issues) shoulder height. Trying to keep the legs and hips statioary, swing the arms about six inches, one to the front and one to the back. Then the arms switch swing direction and now the arms are moving about 12 inches total on each swing (6 in. to the front, then 12 inches back to achieve 6 in. swing past the body). Start with slow focused movements and the mind on keeping the abs/core tight. Progress speed slowly and emphasize control not speed.
