In this lower body session, we'll go through squats, step-ups, single leg deadlifts, and kickbacks. We're targeting glutes, hamstrings, quads and inner thighs.

Weight lifting level 1.5
Equipment: 5, 8, or 10 pound hand weights (or heavier if you're not a beginner). And a reformer box/step-up platform/stable low stepping stool.

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.
