Welcome to the Resistance Stretching series. These are dynamic stretching based workouts with sculpting and energizing exercises to invigorate, yet relax the entire body. You will see advanced stretching and unique combination moves to challenge your mind and body. Lengthen and strengthen for a long, lean physique.

In Resistance Stretching Energize you will start with a wide plie sequence to warm up the body. Then go into a bent over swing and stretch combination. Next a tough Asian squat combination with hip circles and front and back steps. Then a cardio burst in down dog, with leg taps and knees. Then a kneeling to hover tuck sequence, a wide plank series, a triceps plank combination. Next a standing cardio burst, a hover with leg circles, a 3 legged dog set, deep shoulder stretches, a warrior 2 series with dynamic arm movements and a pigeon stretch and stacked leg stretch. Next an abs segment, deep leg stretches and finally a standing warrior 3 to front leg stretch sequence.

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!
