25 MINUTE UPPER & CORE STRENGTH: MEDIUM WEIGHTS + ANKLE WEIGHTS
24m
This 25 minute upper body and core strength class focuses on three key movement patterns: push, pull, and raise.
Commencing in a supine position, combining both wide and narrow grip chest presses with core moves like single leg marches and toe taps overloading the chest while integrating core stability while maintaining a neutral spine.
We then stand to focus on pull movements, building postural strength with bent over rows, underhand rows, and bicep curls.
Finally, we return to a full standing sequence, emphasising raise movements for shoulder endurance... expect 90/90 bent arm lateral raises, shoulder presses with knee marches, and a knee to elbow oblique crunch to finish. Feel your shoulders burn and your core stay engaged throughout this balanced, powerful flow.
