A slow, controlled lower body class using weights and a band to increase resistance and depth of work. We begin standing with heel-elevated cyclist squats to activate the quads while supporting knee and hip mobility. From there, we move into a heavy single-leg RDL and curtsy sequence to create progressive overload through the glutes and hamstrings. We finish with loaded hip thrusts to round out the class and fully fatigue the glutes.
This workout is designed to build your physical and mental strength and endurance as we work through layered sequences of flowing movement with minimal rest.
Please remember to listen to your body above all else during your practice. Modify exercises as needed to suit your body and pause the video to take breaks if and when you need to. Leave a layer out if it doesn't feel good for you and remove props if they become too much. Never push through any neck or lower back pain during your movement.
Enjoy!
