If your knees hurt when you do squats, this video is for you. There are 5 variations and choose one which works best for your body at the moment and then progress.
Week 1 vs now β this is what progression actually looks like.
Dead Bug: started with bent knees, now working toward a straighter leg for more range. Plank: started with a hold, now adding shoulder taps for extra stability. Glute Bridge: now trying the single-leg version.
This is the exact journey I went through in my own recovery β nothing changes in a day, but every week gets a little better. Not perfection, just consistency. That's Part 6 β the final reel in this beginner core series!

Exercise 3 in your beginner core journey: the Glute Bridge π This one helps with back pain too β it activates your glutes and core together. Lie on your back, knees bent, feet flat on the floor. Slowly lift your hips until your shoulders to knees form a straight line. Squeeze your glutes at the top, then slowly lower.
Strong glutes = less back pain. Core isn't just about your abs. Aim for 10-12 reps.

Exercise 2 in your beginner core journey: the Plank. Elbows under shoulders, back straight β not sagging, not piking up. Squeeze your core, keep breathing, hold.
Remember: this isn't about how long you can hold it, it's about holding it correctly. 15 seconds with good form beats 60 seconds with bad form every time. Comment your hold time below π Next up β Exercise 3.

I have a dream for my tribeβ¦
I want us to be so fit and strong that even at 70, when I say, βWhoβs up for a hiking trip?β the answer is:
βSure! Let me grab my shoes.β π₯Ύ
No worrying about whether our knees will cope.
No fear of our back giving up.
No feeling that age has limited what our bodies can do.
Just the freedom to live life fully.
I know what it feels like when your body doesn't allow you to live the life you want.
In my early 30s, I had painful knees and even climbing stairs had become a struggle. I also had a bad back. Today, at 46, I live with knee arthritis, but I have learned something incredibly important:
I don't have to fight my body. I have to work WITH it.
Strength training has taught me how to build strength around my limitations, understand my body, listen to its signals and manage my knee pain without allowing it to define my life.
And that's exactly what I want for my Fitbelle tribe.
We're not training just to look good today.
We're building strong, capable bodies that give us freedom for decades to come. πͺπΌ
My dream has become my passion.
My passion has become my purpose.
And every morning, I wake up determined to keep chasing it.
So yesβ¦ maybe I'm a little crazy. π
But will it be worth it?
OH HELL YESSSSS! π₯
Future selves, you can thank us later. β€οΈ
Are YOU up for it?

Exercise 1 in your beginner core journey: the Dead Bug π This is where core control actually begins. Lie on your back, arms up, knees at 90 degrees. Slowly lower one arm and the opposite leg β without letting your back lift off the floor. Then switch sides.
Remember: speed doesn't matter here, control does. Rushing through this won't get you results. Aim for 8-10 reps each side. Next week β I'll show you the progression on this exact move. Save this π

3 signs your core might be weak: constant kamar dard, discomfort while bending, balance issues on one leg or going down stairs.
Sound familiar?
Good news β it's fixable. Here's how to start training your core the right way:
1οΈβ£ Slow and controlled, not fast
2οΈβ£ Train your whole core β not just abs
3οΈβ£ Correct form matters β engage properly, keep your spine neutral
4οΈβ£ Show up a little every day β consistency over intensity
This is Part 2 of my 6-part beginner core series. Save this and follow along π"
I used to think core meant sit-ups and abs too. Then a back injury taught me otherwise. Core isn't just your abs β it's your abs, lower back, pelvic floor, and obliques working together as one support system.
This is Part 1 of Core series where we break down core strength from scratch β what it actually is, and how to build it, step by step. Save this so you don't lose the series π
