We begin by grounding in a seated rollback core sequence, using the ball to support the lumbar spine as we flow through rollbacks, overhead presses, chest expansions, single leg marches, and Russian twists.
Next, we utilise a medium weight to intensify a single leg glute bridge sequence paired with a chest press and single arm/ leg extension.
From there, we transition into an oblique side over sequence, using our pilates ball to lengthen the waist with a chest expansion, knee to elbow crunch, and a smooth transition from a crouch back to a pike.
We then stand, using both medium weights, to move through squats with bicep curls, single arm rotating overhead presses, and a dual dumbbell overhead press.
After a standing core integration with single leg marches, we repeat on the other side, staying focused on controlled, purposeful movement throughout.
