A full body strength training workout that might make you a little sweaty! It's a quick one, but we pack a lot in.
Equipment: I use 5 pound and 8 pound hand weights/dumbbells but feel free to use lighter or heavier weights depending on your needs.
Exercises:
1. Plié Squat to Knee Raise
2. Lunge to Shoulder Raise
3. Lunge Raise to Front Kick
4. Floor Press Bridge
5. Plank Rows
Why weight lifting?
As we age - starting in our third decade - we tend to lose muscle mass. Resistance training is a great way to keep our muscles strong. Reformer Pilates is a form of resistance training, but incorporating weight lifting into your workout routine will help you continue to see results and muscle gain.
