Well, for the first time in quite a while, I forgot to hit record at the start of the class, and didn’t catch it until the class was over. Luckily, the class was a progression from the lower body class from 2 weeks ago. You can find the video for last week’s here and just follow it if you like.

Or, if you’d rather, this is what we did. I linked videos for a few things or added some notes.
