30 MINUTE LOWER BODY STRENGTH: WEIGHTS (2-4KG) + BAND + ANKLE WEIGHTS
STRENGTH
•
30m
This lower body strength class takes place entirely on the mat, using a resistance band and individual weight to build strength through the glutes, hamstrings, calves, and inner and outer thighs.
We'll begin with a bridging sequence, working through weighted hip thrusts, pulses, and banded abductions before briefly challenging single leg glute strength and pelvic stability with a single leg bridge to extension.
From there, we'll transition into four point kneeling for an unweighted glute series, isolating both the glute maximus and glute medius through simple, controlled movement patterns.
Our final single sided sequence combines both the band and weight as we work through forearm supported clams, with the option to progress by adding a hip lift to further challenge both the working and stabilising muscles.
With simple yet effective layers throughout, this class is designed to meet you where you're at, giving you the flexibility to progress or regress each exercise while building strong, functional lower body strength.
