Today we have a smooth and flowing sculpt class focussing on one of our most popular pairings — upper-body strength work combined with deep core and waist toning.
We’ll start standing with weights, focusing on the arms, shoulders and upper body with strength-based movements designed to help you feel strong, energized and confident. Then we’ll take it down to the mat and shift our focus to the abs and core, bringing in those controlled Pilates movements we know and love for a really good burn.
I recommend having two sets of weights nearby so you can adjust your resistance throughout the class. I’m using 3lb and 5lb hand weights, plus 1lb ankle weights once we move to the mat for a little extra resistance and lower-body burn.
As always, make this workout work for you. You can go lighter, heavier or modify with what you have at home. If you’re following our Strength programming, this is a great opportunity to challenge yourself with slightly heavier resistance where it feels right, while still keeping your form controlled and intentional. If you're following the Pilates challenge, keep the weights light and focus on control, form and mind-body connection.
This class is such a good combination of strength + Pilates and will leave you feeling strong, connected and energized. Grab your weights and meet me on the mat.
