GET ALL 5 CARDIO STRENGTH SERIES WORKOUTS
Welcome to the Cardio Strength series of 5 workouts! If you have a tight schedule, these 35 minute workouts will give you everything you need in a short amount of time! You will start each session with 15 minutes of steady state cardio, made fun with interesting, easy to follow routines. Then 20 minutes of strength training using weights as well as your body weight.
The 5 Workouts are:
Arms (37 mins) – start with higher and lower intensity intervals of 50 seconds of work with 10 seconds of recovery. No equipment needed for this fun, cardio routine. Next use medium to heavy weights to work your biceps, triceps and shoulders. You will perform one long circuit of 10 exercises and then repeat them.
Back Body (40 mins) – start with 15 mins of easy to follow step aerobics intervals of 50 seconds of work with 10 seconds of recovery. There are higher and lower intensity exercises to keep you in that fat burning mode. Next, 20 mins of 50/10 intervals using heavier weights to work the glutes, hamstrings and back.
Front Body (41 mins) – start with 15 mins of cardio sculpt intervals of 50 second of work with 10 seconds of rest, using the resistance loop for extra challenge. Next 20 mins of targeted front body work for quads, chest and abs, once again using the loop and medium and heavy dumbbells.
Wall (40 mins) – start with 15 mins of easy to follow cardio sculpt intervals of 50 seconds of work with 10 seconds of recovery. There are higher and lower intensity exercises to keep you in that fat burning mode. Next, 20 mins of wall exercises with lots of handstands against the wall to really burn out your shoulders. Modifications are shown throughout it you don't like the idea of handstands.
Core (40 mins) - start with 15 mins of easy to follow cardio sculpt intervals of 50 seconds of work with 10 seconds of recovery. There are higher and lower intensity exercises to keep you in that fat burning zone. Next, 20 mins of 50/10 intervals using just your body weight and a mat for core exercises focusing on obliques, lower abs, upper abs and back. There's lots of variety in this one with fun rep patterns to keep your mind and body engaged.
About The Instructor: Hi, I'm Linda - creator of Barlates Body Blitz. I have worked in the diet and fitness industry for most of my career and have created close to 850 workout videos to bring my passion for exercise to you!
My desire is to help you sculpt a strong, healthy body with a fusion of barre, Pilates, yoga as well as more traditional cardio + toning exercises. So what are you waiting for, lets go workout together!
What is Barlates Body Blitz: Barlates is a fusion style workout that borrows from pilates, barre, ballet, yoga and more traditional cardio and toning. The idea was to create a workout, which flows seamlessly from one move into the next using the principles of isotension and high repetitions to build long, lean muscles. By using a lighter weight with high repetitions the exercises are designed to target all of those underused smaller muscle groups resulting in a defined, lengthened dancer's physique. This is a real girls workout in the sense that it is fun and feminine, but don't get me wrong it is still super intense with a big burn factor! The workouts are designed to be mixed and matched with an array of 20-30 minute upper body, lower body, abdominal and total body workouts that can be strung together for a longer session or done individually if you are short on time. These workouts will hit all those trouble spots and best of all you don't even need to wear shoes to do them! Get ready to sweat, puff and burn - hopefully you'll love every minute of it!
