This sculpt class moves through two blocks on each side, targeting the quads, calves, and glutes, with subtle upper body activation layered throughout.
Using the Pilates ball to challenge stability in a heel elevated lunging sequence, you can expect to fire up through the quads, calves, and glutes.
From there, we transition down to the mat into a side lying position, placing the ball under the waist for support while adding an extra challenge through the obliques. Here, we move through single-arm tricep push-ups paired with single leg lifts to target the triceps, obliques, and glute medius.
