An express style upper body strength class uses just a light - medium set of hand weights (2–4 kg) to build endurance in the biceps, triceps, and shoulders.
We work through five key exercises for a set number of reps, repeating the sequence three times to maximise muscle overload and upper body endurance. Expect a low-impact, efficient workout perfect for home, the gym or for days you're short on time, low on energy but are still looking to move your body.

Please remember that each pregnancy is different, and every woman’s health and fitness level is unique, you should monitor your intensity level throughout each class, and adapt the exercises to fit your own comfort and fitness level.
