This full body strength class predominantly focuses on the core, glutes, triceps, and upper back, and is designed to leave you feeling energised and strong.
We begin with a bodyweight abdominal roll-up sequence to create gentle activation through all key muscle groups, before transitioning into a kneeling upper body series using light hand weights for deeper muscle isolation.
From there, we come up to standing for weighted reverse lunges and sumo squats, with subtle upper body activation layered throughout. You have the option to move at a pace that suits you, slow and controlled, or slightly more dynamic for a light cardio challenge.
The two sides are separated by a weighted four-point sequence, including knee hovers, oblique hip dips, dumbbell overhead reaches, and static single-arm tricep extensions, designed to build deep core strength and support scapular stability.
