Total Body Series 1 is a collection of five uniquely designed workout sessions covering barre, athletic ballet, step cardio, Pilates-inspired sculpting, and endurance training — all in one DVD. Every workout in this series was custom-designed to a specific brief, which is why each one carries the name of the person it was created for. The result is five genuinely different sessions that together build a complete and varied fitness toolkit.

No filler. No repeats. Just five effective, targeted workouts with real variety across training styles, intensity levels, and equipment.

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

AMY: BARRE WITH WEIGHTS & BAND (55 min)
A complete barre sculpting session combining dumbbells, a resistance loop band, and classic barre moves across standing and mat sequences. Pyramid-style barre sets, wide plie band work, leg extensions, and a mat core finisher. Intermediate level.

BROOKE: ENDURANCE BURNER (65 min)
High-energy endurance training blending cardio sculpt intervals, functional up-and-down moves, and mat-based work targeting quads, glutes, and core. Includes handstands and a tough Asian squat sequence. Expect to sweat.

GINA: ATHLETIC BALLET (20 min)
Athletic ballet meets cardio burn in this 50-second interval session pairing upper and lower body toning with cardio bursts. Compound moves keep the heart rate spiking throughout. Light weights and a chair required.

KATE: PILATES RING & ANKLE WEIGHTS (20 min)
Advanced standing and mat sculpting using 50-second intervals across 20 rounds of progressive overload. Targets quads, inner thighs, arms, and abs with relentless reps and zero mercy.

ROSEMARY: STEP SWEAT & SCULPT (65 min)
Alternating 10-minute blocks of step cardio and compound strength training for a structured total body session targeting upper body, lower body, and core. Finishes with a lengthening stretch. Intermediate level.

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!
