Welcome to the Lazy Days series. These are the perfect workouts for when you are feeling a bit lazy, but still want to exercise. They are great for beginners who are just starting out with Barlates, or for any other fitness level who want an easier day. There are a variety of different styles so you can choose the exact workout that you feel like doing without any dread factor.

In Lazy Days Stretch Sculpt you will start with seated arm rotations, reaches and crunches. Then use the band to deepen the arm exercises with overhead pulls, figure 8s, biceps curls, shoulder press and side triceps extensions. Next a down dog to knee hover combo, then bird dog arm sweeps and leg in and outs. Then a down dog glute raise to hip opening stretch. Then a staggered tricpes push up variation. Then angled outer thigh raises with different arm positions and a bend extend raise before a deep hip and hamstring stretch. Then a quad stretch, dynamic hamstring stretch with upper body twist and frog stretch. Next a lower back combination using the band. Then a short c-curve abs segment. Finish with a lengthening 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!
