This Lower Body Stronger class is all about functional, compound strength training, tying together all of the lower body sessions we have worked through over the past month using one heavy weight (10kg +), one set of medium - heavy weights (5-8kg) and a medium - heavy resistance band. I encourage you to increase your weights for this class to observe your progress. We start and finish class with a set of heavy banded bridging to load the glute maximums & medius, the first set focusing on activation, and the last on burn out. In between, you’ll progress through a heavy sumo squat set, glute focused RDL’s, narrow squats, alternating step back lunges, an alternating lateral lunge variation and a narrow to wide squat step out series. This class is designed to refine the strength and power you’ve worked so hard to build throughout the challenge through basic, effective training.
This workout is designed to build your physical and mental strength and endurance as we work through layered sequences of flowing movement with minimal rest.
Please remember to listen to your body above all else during your practice. Modify exercises as needed to suit your body and pause the video to take breaks if and when you need to. Leave a layer out if it doesn't feel good for you and remove props if they become too much. Never push through any neck or lower back pain during your movement.
Enjoy!
