45 MINUTE FULL BODY STRENGTH: LIGHT WEIGHTS + ANKLE WEIGHTS
44m
45 minutes of slow, controlled, and intentional movement. Using a light pair of hand weights and optional ankle weights, we begin in a kneeling upper body sequence, focusing on the lower trapezius, rear deltoids, shoulders, and triceps to set the foundation for the rest of the class.
From there, we move into a 4 point position to activate the glute max through loaded donkey kicks, while layering in two push-up variations to continue challenging the upper body.
Our core work centres around oblique-focused teasers, with the option to add a single weight. We build through layers including double leg boat poses, leg extensions, toe taps, and leg circles; offering variations to meet you where you’re at within your practice & pregnancy journey.
We finish with a short single sided standing sequence, bringing everything together. Expect reverse lunges and tippy bird hinges, paired with upper body movements such as bicep curls, shoulder presses, around the world sweeps, and underhand grip rows.
Expect to leave the mat feeling strong, aligned, and deeply connected to your body.
