Welcome to the Booty and Thighs Compilation. These workouts are designed to hit every muscle of your lower body to give you strong, lean thighs, hips and butt. You will see classic style mat workouts as well as standing barre and a delicious stretch workout to lengthen everything out. Get ready to feel the burn and see the changes.

WORKOUTS:

Ultimate Inner Thighs (26 min): This is the mother of inner thigh workouts. The standing section consists of a variety of exercises with rags or gliders to really heat up those legs and then you move to the mat with ankle weights to further fry the inner thighs. You will see a lot of traditional Calisthenics style exercises on the mat, but they are sequenced to give maximum results in minimum time.

Resistance Loop Butt (32 min): Work your glutes and outer thighs to sculpted perfection using a resistance loop for extra challenge. Using traditional barre Pilates mat exercises you will work your butt from every angle. These exercises are designed to lengthen and strengthen the muscle all at the same time so you will create a longer, leaner physique.

Express Barre Thighs (32 min): A thigh focused barre workout designed to strengthen and elongate your legs. Hit every angle of your thighs and get some bonus glute and hamstring work as you burn at the barre. You will feel the shake of your muscles changing! With these slow, focused, micro-movements you will achieve the long, slender thighs of a dancer.

Express Butt and Thighs (16 min): An express workout using traditional mat exercises to sculpt the glutes and thighs. Chisel those problem areas with these proven and effective exercises that won't add bulk, but will streamline your silhouette. Tighten, tone and shape the lower body to create an environment where cellulite just can't survive!

Stretches for Doing Splits (41 min): This is a deep lower body stretching workout to help loosen all the muscles required to do the splits more easily. Although whether a person can do the splits it is largely down to genetics - everyone can try to get more flexible and get as close to doing them as possible! By loosening your hip flexors, hamstrings, inner thighs, glutes and hips you will be able to increase your flexibility.

NOTE: This is a compilation of 5 older workouts.

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!
