There are heavier weights intervals, barre exercises, Pilates style mat segments and lots of innovative combinations to challenge your mind and your muscles. Get ready to feel the burn and see the changes!

The 4 Workouts are:

Burn (65 mins) you will start with large range of motion sweeps and raises, to heat up the body. Then an energetic in and out and plie series before using the resistance band on one foot for a series of raises, circles, knee ups and extensions.

Finish with a nice stretch.

Next a slider and light weights segment. Then one slider and a barre for more focused lunge variations. Next a side plank series using the ball. Then a side lying oblique series with the ball between the ankles. Next a lower back extension segment featuring ultra-cute Mini. Finish with a lengthening stretch.

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!
