What is in Bodywork session?

Also known as Strength Training and Weight Training.

Basically, Bodyworks is a group exercise class incorporating weight training. Each session will comprise of warming up, cardio workout, weight training, stretching and cooling down.

These are some of the exercises that you could expect at any of Bodyworks class, though not all of them at a time:

  • Decline bench press
  • Incline bench press
  • Standing side laterals
  • Standing bent laterals
  • Standing front raises
  • Incline seated curls
  • Seated one arm triceps extension
  • One arm rows
  • Squats
  • Lunges
  • Standing one leg calf raises
  • Wrist extensions
  • Wrist curls
  • Back Arches
  • Chinese press up

These are mostly done with free weights, i.e dumbbells and bodybar. If you are a beginner, worry not, you could start with the lightest of dumbells.

Squat and lunges are exercises that use our own bodyweight, but for a more advance group, you could add add free weight into the exercises. For example, doing a squat by holding a bodybar on your shoulder or a pair of dumbbell at your sides
