A lower body stronger class designed to ignite your glutes, hamstrings, and outer thighs.
We begin with a banded crab walk to activate the glute medius and outer thighs before picking up our heaviest weight (10 - 17.5 kg) for a goblet squat, incorporating pulses and single knee abduction.
Removing the band, using our medium set of weights (5–8 kg) we move into a split stance RDL, gradually progressing into a single leg RDL, lifting the supporting leg off the mat to challenge balance. As we stabilise, we add a controlled row, further testing balance, and we complete the movement with a hamstring curl. This sequence not only builds strength, but it also demands focus, balance, and stability.
We come down for a banded glute bridge supine sequence, focusing on the entire lower body before completing the second side. We close the class with a gentle hip opening mobility flow, leaving you strong and flexible from every angle.
