This upper body and core strength class uses only a light set of hand weights (1kg-3kg) as we begin with a prone lying sequence to gently activate the upper back and posterior chain.
From there, we shift into an extended kneeling upper body sequence, targeting the biceps, shoulders, rotator cuff and upper back muscles. After building that strength, we come to a weighted core roll up sequence while still targeting the shoulders and triceps through weighted overhead tricep extensions, before wrapping up the class with a bodyweight tricep push up finisher. Leave this class feeling strong, stable, and empowered.
