Day 2
Start today by following along with the Easy beginner warm up and Beginner no pole workout. If you’ve never workout before, you might be thinking “what are sets and reps?” A repetition (rep) is the number of times you perform a specific exercise. A set is the number of cycles of reps that you complete. For example, suppose you complete 15 reps of a the Forward and back scapula, that’s one set.
Perform 2 sets of 10 – 12 Reps of each scapula exercise.
Here’s a list of direct links to each related tutorial. Remember you only need to click on these if you’d like more help or information with any of the related tutorials listed above.
is it okay to do the side planks slower than you do in the video, or is speed/tempo more important? I don’t feel like I’m doing proper form when doing them faster at the moment.
You can always slow things down unless I tell you otherwise.
okie thank you!!
I did this yesterday and now my upper back is so sore from those scapula exercises 😅 All good, means that those small but important muscles hadn’t been challenged to do their work in a good while, time to wake them up.
Woww!! It’s my first day and I just did Day 1 plus an extra warmup from Day 2 because I wanted a little longer workout, and I am SO impressed with these exercises! I can feel each muscle in so many of them, things that look simple like turning the head, touching different fingers together etc really activate different muscles! Thanks this is so fun. I’m poor and cheap haha, but I think I might just actually subscribe when my free weeks are over, you have really done a great job organizing these and I can really tell what’s being worked and that it will help me on the pole. Although I have a pole I thought I would start with these for general strength and conditioning. Thanks Veena this is great 👠☺
I’m so happy you’re enjoying it! As a “cheap” person myself I love getting a good deal and I try to keep my lessons at a reasonable price 💜
Hi! In Beginner Workout, when we do our fingers workout, is it better to touch tips of our fingers or bottoms?
The tips!
Thank you!
Just finished and my shoulders are burning in the best way! I am so glad and extremely grateful for your simple yet effective workouts! I feel like this is a great pace, and I feel like this will make my pole foundations stronger. Thank you again for an amazing workout!
Thank you for the feedback 💜 it’s helpful to know what works for people.
So happy you give easier variations, I need them 🙂
VEENA QUICK QUESTION. IM HAVING A 4FUSION NECK SURGERY IN A COUPLE MONTHS AND SOME MOVEMENTS ARE REALLY HARD BUT I PUSH THROUGH. ANY RECOMENDATIONS ON OTHER WAYS TO CONTINUE WITH LESSONS. IM A BEGGINNER AND HAVE A POLE AT HOME AND LOVE YOUR LESSONS. DONT WANT TO GIVE THEM UP
You would need to talk with your Doctor. Why are you having fusion done?
I GOT INTO A DOMESTIC FIGHT YEARS AGO AND GOT PUT IN A HEAD LOCK THAT CRUSHED AND HERNIATED 5 CERVICAL DISCS OF MY NECK.
Ugh, awful. Hopefully it will bring you some relieve, as I would assume you’re in pain a lot. It’s not in my scope of practice to tell you what to work on though. I suggest showing your DR some pole tricks and seeing what they think.
This day was harder than I expected. I was out of breath but I did try the more advanced moves (at least for the first set). I’m proud of myself and I’m going to treat myself now. I love the up and over stretch. I have done this in a yoga class where I was learning handstands (or as they call them in yoga: inversion). Thank you, Veena!
💜💜💜💜💜
Oh I meant to say, I’d love to see a full video explanation for how to foam roll our arms and chests

I just subscribed to you today, I did day 1 and 2 together just now and I really enjoyed it. I can feel the knot in my shoulder that I regularly get being targeted by these exercises, which is great! Hopefully they will loosen it up and get rid of it with time.
Awesome. You can try using a tennis ball or peanut to massage the knot!
