This is a short mat-based class with the option of using some hand weights to challenge our upper body strength and control

I would recommend using 0.5-1kg hand weights, but you can also enjoy the class without weights. The class begins with a short standing warm up then continues onto the mat on our fronts and backs. Remember to always work to a level that you feel safe and comfortable to do.

This class includes:

• Standing book opener
• Shoulder row
• Side plie with arm lifts
• Roll downs
• Breaststroke prep 
• Swimming
• Cobra stretch
• One leg stretch with bicep curl
• Hip twist with arm openings
• Rotation stretch
• Sitting chest opening and ‘Y’ stretch

The class begins with a short warm up in standing using small weights in our hands we challenge our upper body strength and control with a book opener and shoulder row exercises. We then combine some leg movements with a side plie squat with arm lifts.

Moving down onto our fronts we work our core and upper body further with a breaststroke prep and swimming movement. We then stretch our spine in this position with a cobra stretch. Onto our backs we then combine some upper body strength and core muscle control with a one leg stretch and bicep curls and hip twist with arm openings. We then finish with a chest stretch and ‘y’ stretch in sitting.
