An express style upper body strength class using just a light pair of hand weights.
We start with a kneeling upper body sequence, working through diagonal shoulder presses to target the upper back and shoulders. Before progressing into 90/90 bicep curls, single arm and dual arm shoulder presses, around the world sweeps, and tricep kickbacks.
We'll finish in a four point kneeling sequence, challenging the deep core stabilisers, obliques, and upper back through breath work, knee hovers, oblique twists, and side plank rotations.
Perfect for those days that you may be low on energy, but still looking for that simple, effective upper body workout.
Also great to add on to the end of another class, for those days you're feeling strong and looking for that extra challenge.
