Welcome to the Wall Pilates series. Take all your favourite Pilates exercises to the next level by using a wall to increase the challenge. The wall forces you to maintain perfect alignment and stops you from cheating by favouring your stronger side. Pressing into the wall from different angles will use more muscle groups, which gives you better results in less time. Get ready to burn and shake with these intense workouts!

In Wall Core you will start in a modified plank position with your feet on the wall performing various glute raises with upper body engagement. Then seated with your back against the wall you will use a resistance band for side bend variations targeting the waistline. Next another plank variations, this time reaching and touching the wall in front of you, adding knee bends to intensify, Finally holding a squat against the wall you will do side bend variations as well as knee raises to target the entire core. Finish with a stretch.

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!
