This full body strength class flows through a dynamic sequence of core, hinge and pressing patterns designed to challenge the glutes, shoulders and deep core while keeping you moving from start to finish.
We start with a supine core series using just our ankle weights for added resistance as we work through chest lifts, marches and pulses before placing our hand on the opposite knee to deeply engage the internal obliques as we take a single leg extension.
Coming into standing, we build strength through the posterior chain with suitcase squats and dual leg RDLs before layering in bicep curls, narrow grip rows and rear delt flies for upper body integration.
The challenge continues with single leg scooters and lateral lunges, loading both weights into one hand to test balance, stability and core control. Between sides, a powerful sumo squat sequence combines lower body strength with targeted work for the biceps, shoulders and upper back as we move through bicep curls, around the world sweeps and shoulder presses.
