GET ALL 4 HEAVY ANKLE WEIGHT SERIES WORKOUTS

Welcome to the Heavy Ankle Weight Series. Step up the challenge of all your favourite mat and standing exercises with some heavier ankle weights. We will be going at a slower pace to avoid injury and to stay under tension for longer. There are 30 rounds of 50 seconds of work with 10 seconds rest. You will definitely feel the burn and in some cases your heart rate will get up there too. Get ready to feel the burn and see the changes!

The 4 Workouts are:

Lower Mat (35 mins) you will start with 5 rounds of outer thighs, 5 rounds inner thighs and 5 rounds glutes and hamstrings, alternating sides after each set. You will say outer thigh raises, arcs, bend extensions and pulses, inner thigh raises, circles, sweeps and arcs and all 4s position raises, hamstring curls, turn out knee to extension and hydrants. Finish with a lengthening stretch.

Chair (34 mins) you will start seated on the chair with knee to elbow rotations, side hydrants, bend extensions, stand to knee up and straight leg arcs. Next a side lying series with leg raises, various angled extensions and pulses.
