Leg Day - Week 2
Restorative Strength
•
50m
We launched this phase of the programming with a real focus on isolating, sensing and keeping certain muscle groups under tension. We explored ways to modify intensity so we were able to accumulate sufficient ‘Time Under Tension’ in order to drive our desired adaptation of building muscle. That takes practice and refinement. It also requires a lot of focus and grit to push through the uncomfortable burning sensations that come with this sort of training approach. So with that in mind, we’ll be revisiting a lot of the content from last week’s class to further develop our skills in this area. Get ready to ‘Feel The Burn!’ 💪😂

- A mat.
- Some wall space.
- A towel roll (optional).
- A Pilates ball (or similar).
- A hardback book.
