Class Description: This is a 40 minute Pilates class using heavy weights. We'll start seated on the mat with gentle rollbacks to warm up the body and create length. We’ll activate the core with focused ab work and weighted dead bugs, then build strength with side planks. Next, we fire up the glutes with a targeted booty combo and lunges, followed by a sidelying series to sculpt the lower body. The class finishes with a set of arm exercises to leave you feeling strong from head to toe.

Optional Equipment: Heavy Weight
