In this class we take some longer holds to focus on alignment and build big strength. We start with a Turkish sit up pullover, push ups, and split squat. And then follow it up with overhead press, hinging while passing the weight, and rowing. Whew, this will get you moving!
Hip Opening Focused Strength (APRIL)
In this class we work on opening up the back of the hips to aid in hinging. We start with hinging walking backwards into it, the breathing and core work from hands and knees, rotational chest press, then hinge row, curl, and press overhead, then lateral lunge with pulses. This class will help you work into your hips, slow down or don't go as deep if you feel it in your back.
Core Focused Strength (March)
This month we are emphasizing the core. Our main moves are laying down rotations, hands and knees thread the needle, shift stance chop, push ups, lunge to lateral lunge chop, and hinge with a row, curl, press. Get ready to feel your core!
Triceps, Press, Push Ups, Side Plank, Hinge Swings, and Lunges
This month is a big one! You need a squish ball or blanket or pillow and a blanket for sliding and some wall space. We work on tricep extensions for posture and breath work, over head press, then sliding push ups for an added challenge, hinge swings to wake up the glutes and lunges for leg strength and knee health.
