GET ALL 5 STANDING BARRE WORKOUTS

Welcome to the STANDING BARRE SERIES. These workouts are designed to lengthen and strengthen the muscle all at the same time so you will create a longer, leaner physique. By the addition of light weights, a resistance loop and a playground ball to your traditional barre routines you will increase the challenge of all your favourite exercises!

THE WORKOUTS ARE:

Standing Barre Pretzel (22 mins): Performing pretzel exercises in a standing rather than seated position means that you are also engaging your supporting leg, using balance and working against gravity more.

Standing Barre Abs (34 mins): Using the pilates/barre ball you will twist, stretch and lengthen your abs and you will feel a definite burn.

Standing Barre Thighs (26 mins): This is traditional ballet barre thigh workout that focuses on small isometric movements to really get deep into the muscles of the inner and outer thighs as well as some glute and hamstring.

Standing Barre Glutes (28 mins): Use the resistance loop to increase the challenge of these traditional barre seat exercises.

Standing Barre Arms (21 mins): A light dumbbell arms workout that uses high repetitions and isometric tension to create a long, lean physique.

About the instructor: Hi, I'm Linda - creator of Barlates Body Blitz. I have worked in the diet and fitness industry as an instructor and personal trainer for most of my career and have created close to 550 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? Let's go work out 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!
