30 MINUTE UPPER & CORE STRENGTH: LIGHT WEIGHTS + BALL
30 TO 40 MINUTES
•
32m
A supportive, low impact class using light weights (2–3kg) and a Pilates ball.
We begin with a kneeling upper body series, placing the ball between the inner thighs to support the pelvic floor and deep core as we work through frontal and lateral offerings, wide chest presses, and bicep curls.
We then come into a four point kneeling sequence to target the upper back, triceps, and transverse abdominals. Here, we place the ball under one hand to create an added stability challenge while incorporating single arm weighted tricep work on the opposite side.
We finish with a gentle supine core sequence, with the option to place the ball underneath the sacrum for an added progression. This sequence is simple and supportive, with plenty of options to progress or regress depending on how your body is feeling.
A considerate class designed to help you move with connection and support as you navigate the later weeks of pregnancy.
