Sequence With Weights for Upper Body Strengthening
Strength
•
42m
In this class the focus is on strengthening the upper body and the abdominals. After some warming up for the arms, shoulders and back, the sequence will take you through lunges with bicep curls and shoulder presses, Side Angle Pose (Utthita Parsvakonasana) with a diagonal 'pull' with the weight and a Goddess Pose with the weights too. There will also be some side arm balances and plank poses before stretching the arms out after their hard work.
Props needed: Two hand weights (but if you don't have these you could use filled water bottles) plus you might need a blanket to kneel on.
Mat direction: Long edge of the mat facing the screen.
