GET ALL 4 MAT WORKOUT SERIES WORKOUTS

Welcome to the Mat Workout Series. These workouts will work your entire body using functional combination moves as well as targeted muscle group focused exercises. Some of the workouts are pure body weight and others use equipment such as ankles weights and a resistance loop to intensify the moves. Although these workouts are on the mat, they will thoroughly work your muscles and even get your heart rate up at times.

THE WORKOUTS ARE:

Ankle Weights (50 mins): You will see a lying abs series to warm up, leg rotations and extensions, outer thigh raises, clams and bend presses, table top glute raises and a tough front of thigh and inner thigh series to finish.

Functional Training (47 mins): You will see plank walks, table top glute raises with forward leg plants, crouching leg raises with front thigh raises, down dog leg circles, an inner thigh series with side plank and an abs series with multi-angled leg scissors and hip thrust reaches.

Compound Moves (45 mins): You will see plank steps throughs and knee pulls, down dog leg raises to handstand variations, side kneeling leg extensions with mini push-ups, 1 leg push-ups, table top glute circles and a crouching lunge series.

Loop and Sculpt (39 mins): you will see plank variations with leg plants and glute raises, a table top glute and abs set, a pretzel outer and inner thigh series, an obliques series and to finish, lying inner thigh work using the loop.

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!
