BLOKstrength - Full Body Conditioning

Chloe

Build strength through tension, harness power through explosive movements and shape your physique with our BLOKstrength: Full Body Conditioning series of classes. The four full body workouts in this series focus on strength training to support your joints, build muscle tissue, increase bone density, and promote fat loss. Each class uses a different mix of compound and explosive movements to build strength, endurance and confidence. Expect controlled compound movements like squats, deadlifts, push-ups and overhead presses; whilst a combination of explosive movements (such as sumo deadlift high pulls, snatches and thrusters) add speed and power. A mixture of up tempo and rep ranges will continue to challenge your body in every session. Every workout features a thorough mobility section and a warm-up/priming specific to the movements to come. You'll then work through sections focused on lower and upper body, progressing your strength and technique. Finally, every part has a fun 'finisher' section to work on muscular endurance, test your mental strength, and leave you with a sense of accomplishment. These workouts are suitable for all levels as movements can be modified or progressed, and weights and repetitions adjusted. Regressions are offered to suit abilities and reduce stress if needed. Each class can be done as a stand-alone workout, but we recommend you do them in order as the complexity and intensity of the movements increases as you progress through the 4 parts in this series. Ideally we suggest doing one a week, mixed with other BLOK classes like BLOKfit, BLOKcore and BLOKmove, which compliment it well.

Dynamic Flows

Francesca

Created to be taken over five consecutive days, these shorter yoga sessions are full body workouts that build in intensity. The first four videos in this series are dynamic yoga flows, working up to day five where we finish with deep stretches in a relaxing yin class. More suited to people with some experience of yoga, these classes will help you to take your practice to the next level whilst gaining a greater awareness of your body and breath connection.

Post-workout stretches

Lotti

Elongate muscles, release tightness and increase mobility with this relaxed-paced stretch class. Perfect for anyone looking to counteract the tensions created by sitting at a desk all day, balance the effects of high intensity fitness training, or wanting to improve their posture and prevent injury; this session focuses on improving muscle length and releasing myofascial (connective tissue around the muscles) tension and tightness to increase mobility in your lower body (hamstrings, glutes, quads, ankles and feet). With a series of slow, held stretches this class is ideal post-workout, as stretching when warm is the most beneficial. This video can also be used as a stand-alone session first thing in the morning or last thing before bed.
