In this workout, I really want you to choose a pair of weights that feels challenging but that you can still lift above your shoulder with good form. Here, I'm using a pair of 5kg and ankle weights for 2kg. I'm loading but in a way that i know i can support my body - thats going to look different on everyone so be critical and honest so you get the most out of this session.

I had a little sweat on here and it felt great! we want to choose a weight that feels challenging but that you can extend your arms out in front of you with. this session is really about control and supporting the body from the centre while we move through the exercises. Enjoy x

Optional Equipment: Heavy Weight

We mix body weight strength with weighted strength which is a great combo for functional strength. We move with pace and we are up and down from the floor with a few variations of plank (our favourite). 1. Choose a weight that feels heavy and that you can still maintain good form. 2. If you need to come down to your knees or forearms in the plank work - absolutely no problem! Holding a plank is a lot on the whole body - you've got this! x

Optional Equipment: light 1kg weights, heavier weights (2-5kg), block

3 rounds of this balance and strength routine. Round one is where we set the foundation, round two is where we test our balance and round 3 is where we test our strength and balance. We want to challenge ourselves as much as possible without sacrificing form. I drop down in weight part way through set 3 because i can feel my form slip so pay attention to how you are feeling. x

Optional Equipment: Weights (3-5kg), ankle weights, block.

Well this is a serious strength challenge (slightly annoyed I had just washed my hair). This workout is going to give you such an amazing buzz of strength and power in that lovely Pilates, controlled way. I would say this will challenge you, but thats exactly what we want when it comes to building strength and resilience. It doesn't always look pretty, it can be messy and wobbly and thats how we like it. x

The last strength workout in our 4 week Challenge and this one really brings it all together - physical strength, balance, control, Power, mobility. Have fun and celebrate what you achieve during this session.
