GET ALL 4 POSTNATAL SERIES WORKOUTS Welcome to the Postnatal series. A series of workouts that will assist in strengthening the Pelvic Floor and deep abdominal muscles so that you can get back in shape after baby. These workouts are particularly good for those who have Diastasis Recti or abdominal separation. It is important to consult your doctor before engaging in any postnatal workouts. Although these exercises are gentle and controlled, they are not for absolute beginners who do not have a history of exercise before pregnancy. Even if you have not had a baby these are still effective exercises to help you get a strong and healthy physique. THE WORKOUTS ARE: Mat Workout (24 mins): You will start with a glute bridge section, move to a side pretzel and plank series and finish with inner thigh squeezes and lower ab raises. Abs (30 mins): You will use a rolled up towel between the thighs to help you engage your lower belly muscles, whilst working your upper abs and obliques. You will also get some bonus glute work! Total Body Express (24 mins): You move through push up variations, plank moves that challenge your balance and a tough inner thigh sequence. Standing Thighs & Abs (27 mins): You will perform barre tucks in various positions using the towel to engage your inner thighs. You will then move to standing abdominal crunches using your upper and lower abs. 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 400 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! |
