These 14 full length workouts range from 55 to 75 mins and have a ton of variety. This is my most comprehensive series to date, combining all of my favourite pieces of equipment with unique and effective movement patterns. If you don't have some of the equipment, no problem, alternatives are suggested at the beginning of each workout.
The workouts are for a more intermediate advanced fitness level, however, modifications are shown throughout. They are definitely workouts you can grow with as they will challenge many different areas of fitness, including stability, mobility, balance, strength and co-ordination.
You can do these workouts on consecutive days, or if you are too sore, add some light cardio in between whenever needed.

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!
