This lower body sculpt class predominantly targets the glutes and hamstrings, using a band and ankle weights to add extra resistance across five focused blocks of work.
We begin with banded crab walks, squats, and single-sided abductions to activate the glute medius and maximus, setting you up for stability and control later in the class.
From there, we move into a single-sided standing sequence, including hinged scooters, 90/90 knee lowers, and banded straight leg lifts. While simple in structure, this block delivers that deep, targeted glute burn we all know and love.
We finish on our back in a supine position with a hamstring-focused glute bridge series, including banded heel walks, single-leg bridges, heel march taps, and banded knee abductions to fully fatigue the posterior chain.
