Support your body while still getting incredible results with this Hormone Friendly Workout Series. Featuring four full-length workouts, this collection is designed to build strength, sculpt lean muscle and improve fitness without excessive intensity or cortisol-spiking exercise.

These low impact workouts combine cardio, strength training, barre and seated exercise to keep your body challenged while supporting recovery, energy levels and long-term consistency. Each session uses controlled movements, compound exercises and steady fat-burning intensity to help you feel strong, energised and toned.

Workouts included:

Standing Abs & Lower Body (40 min)

A flowing standing core workout with balance-based sculpt exercises, leg raises and multiple angle changes, followed by an ankle weight mat section to deeply sculpt the glutes and thighs.

Cardio & Weights (40 min)

Begin with fun, equipment-free cardio before moving into a full body strength workout using moderate dumbbells and creative compound exercises performed standing and on the mat.

Seated Chair Total Body (45 min)

A unique chair workout combining seated cardio, light hand weights and ankle weights to strengthen the entire body through continuous compound movements that are gentle on the joints.

Barre Sculpt Cardio (45 min)

A full body barre-inspired workout using a chair and light hand weights to sculpt the arms, legs, glutes and core while improving posture, balance and muscular endurance.

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!
