This upper body and core focused strength class uses a light set of hand weights (1kg - 3kg), with the option to add wrist weights during the warm up and core sequence for an extra challenge.

We begin in a four point kneeling position with gentle tricep, upper back and deep core activation before progressing into a weighted kneeling series featuring frontal presses, tricep kickbacks, shoulder presses, around the world sweeps, bicep curls and offerings, creating a well rounded upper body burn while challenging postural strength and stability.

We then move into a gentle modified side plank sequence with a weighted thread-the-needle to strengthen the shoulder stabilisers, upper back and obliques before transitioning into focused core work. Expect controlled roll backs, russian twists, narrow overhead presses and a smooth supine sequence featuring chest lifts, single leg marches, leg extensions and light upper body integration.

As always, please listen to your body throughout the session and progress or regress movements depending on how you are feeling that day.
