This lower body stronger class uses a set of heavy weights (6–8kg), an individual medium weight (4–7kg) and a Pilates block to build strength through the glutes and hamstrings. We work through two single sided blocks, allowing you to fully overload each muscle group before switching sides.

We begin with heavy RDLs and Bulgarian split squats, elevating the back foot on the block to increase range of motion and challenge balance and stability. A short but incredibly spicy sequence…

From there we superset the same glute with a bridging sequence, placing the block under the working foot for greater range and the medium weight across the pelvis for added resistance. Expect single leg bridges, leg extensions and controlled pelvic stability circles to maximise glute activation.

To finish, we bring both sides together with a heavy sumo squat pulse, side steps and RDLs for one final lower body burn. This class is designed to leave your glutes and hamstrings feeling strong and challenged. Enjoy!
