A lower body strength class focused on building strength through the glutes and hamstrings using heavier loads and compound movements. Designed to challenge your lower body endurance and encourage progressive overload, this session is all about moving with control and intent.
We begin in a sumo stance series using our heaviest weight (8kg–12.5kg+) with movements including sumo RDLs, sumo goblet squats and frog squats to build strength through the glutes, hamstrings and inner thighs.
From there, we move into single side glute work using medium weights (6kg–10kg). Starting with dual RDLs and alternating reverse lunges to establish activation, we then progress into a split stance hinge and 90/90 lunge sequence. This block is repeated three times, allowing you to fully fatigue.
We finish on the mat with a resistance band in a four point kneeling position to target the glutes and hamstrings from a different angle. Expect donkey kicks, straight leg lifts and hamstring curls to create a final burn through the lower body.
Expect a challenging class that will leave you feeling strong, accomplished and confident lifting heavier.
