We\u2019ll target the shoulders, arms, back and deep abdominals with controlled dumbbell work, Pilates-inspired movement and progressive layering. A focused session for when we\u2019re short on time but still want to challenge our strength, stability and control.<\/p>\n<p>Using light dumbbells, we\u2019ll begin in tall kneeling with arm raises, tricep kickbacks, pulses and rear-delt fly variations before moving onto our backs for an integrated upper-body and core series. We\u2019ll build through roll-ups, ab curls and tabletop work, adding bicep curls, leg extensions and controlled arm openings before finishing with a hollow hold. Every layer builds on the last, bringing the arms and core together through slow, intentional movement. \ud83e\udd0d<\/p>\n<p>We focus on:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 shoulders, triceps + upper-back strength<br \/>\n\u2022 biceps + upper-body muscular endurance<br \/>\n\u2022 deep core strength + abdominal control<br \/>\n\u2022 slow, controlled Pilates x Strength movement<br \/>\n\u2022 progressive layering + time under tension<br \/>\n\u2022 coordination + upper-body and core integration<\/p>\n<p>Equipment I\u2019m using:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 2 \u00d7 5 lb dumbbells<\/p>\n<p>Level:<br \/>\nIntermediate\u2013Advanced Pilates x Strength<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today\u2019s 24-minute express session is all about building a strong, sculpted upper body and a connected core through intentional Pilates [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":1783,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1782","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
