Full Body Foundations
Build muscle the focused way: three quality sets per muscle group, all from the mat, no squats or lunges. Meredith W has you fatigue your muscles, not your lungs.
This full body strength workout focuses on hypertrophy, or muscle growth, by targeting each major muscle group with three focused sets. Most exercises are performed on the mat, with no squats or lunges, allowing you to concentrate on quality movement and muscle fatigue.
This isn't a workout designed to leave you drenched in sweat or completely exhausted. The goal is to challenge your muscles, not your cardiovascular system. Choose weights heavy enough that you're reaching muscle fatigue, or getting very close to it, within about 45 to 60 seconds. The last few reps should feel challenging while still allowing you to maintain good form.
Slow down, focus on the muscles you're working, and don't be afraid to grab heavier weights than you normally would. This is strength training with a purpose: building muscle through focused effort and quality reps.

Great class Mere. My back can be sensitive when I lift heavy and this is a better option. I’m enjoying all your new classes. Keep it up
