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!
Push Up, Hinge Swing, Hinge Row Curl Press, and Lunge (January 2025)
In this short class we work on push ups, swinging a weight from hand to hand in a hinge, rowing in a hinge to stand, curl and press the weight over head, and then lunges. You will need wall space at the narrow end of your mat, and possibly a ball or foam roller and mini loop band if you have them.
Press, Hinge, Row, and Squat (September)
In this class we work on the overhead press, hip hinge, row, and squat. You will need your weights, a sturdy chair and wall space. You may want a strap for your front thigh stretch.
