This fiery and focused class is all about activating one of the most overlooked—but powerful—muscle groups for turnout: your lats. In Mat Madness for Turnout, you’ll learn how to properly engage the upper back to support your turnout from the top down, helping you achieve a more stable, sustainable rotation.
Expect targeted activation drills, upper-body resistance work, and turnout-focused exercises that link your back, core, and deep rotators into one strong, supportive system. This isn’t about forcing your turnout—it’s about training your body to hold it correctly, with control and strength.
Who is this for?
