FOCUS :   

This class is a simple weight lifting workout focused on building power and strength into body and bones. This is done in a simple and controlled environment, using a slow pace while teaching proper alignment and muscle firing patterns. You’ll work: quads, hamstrings, glutes, abs, biceps, triceps, lats and chest. Your sets today are taken slowly with breaks in between for those of us getting used to lifting. Eventually these are considered super sets which are done with little to no break in between.

A great class to take if you are interested in starting up, or are already, lifting weights. This type of exercises has a lot of science behind it showing the benefits to everyone, especially once over age 40. Maintaining lean muscle mass becomes more and more important, as well as it does maintaining dense and strong bones. This will also help burn fat and is an excellent form of exercise in tandem with our Pilates Reformer work.

Today’s class is followed by a stretch and lengthen class which I encourage you to take as one entire class together. To get to the next class please click here:
