There are targeted workouts for all those problem areas as well as full body routines using various equipment. This series is not for the faint hearted. Get ready to burn and sweat!

The 8 Workouts are:

Back of Leg (41 mins) you will use angle changes in a laying position to target your hamstrings, hips, glutes and calves for 500 reps on each side. You will see raises, extensions and some new unique moves I guarantee you haven't tried before! There's lots of bonus lower back engagement in this one.

Upper Body (40 mins) you start in a front laying position and end up seated for 500 reps on each side. You will see lots of new, unique moves to engage the entire upper body and especially burn out those biceps, triceps and shoulders! There's lots of bonus core engagement in this one.

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!
