This functional lower body strength class is structured into four targeted blocks designed to build strength through the glutes and hamstrings using simple, effective movement patterns and progressive loading using only a pair of heavy weights (6-10kg).
We begin with an extended standing sequence featuring dual leg RDLs and reverse step back lunges before progressing into heavy sumo squats and single leg RDLs to challenge balance, stability and lower body strength.
To finish, we take things down to the mat for two glute focused bridge series. The first combines weighted double and single leg bridges to target the glute maximus, while the second features weighted frog bridges and knee butterflies to strengthen the glute medius and support pelvic stability.
Expect a strong lower body burn and a class that leaves you feeling powerful, stable and accomplished.
