Welcome to the Gentle Home Workout Series. A foundations series that will introduce you to the Barlates style in a gentle yet effective way. These joint friendly workouts can be done in a small space and are quiet enough to do in apartments. Each workout can stand alone, or combine a few for a longer challenge. You will create long lean muscles and increase strength and endurance.

In Gentle Home Workout Combinations you will start with some old school aerobics moves including side steps and leg taps. Then move on to a wide plie series including arm punches and oblique engagement. Next a cardio burst with knee pulls and hinged forward side leg taps, then a 45 degree back lunge with squat and front kick. Then a push up to glute raise combo, a side lying leg sweep and raise combination, an all fours balance move with knee pulls and elbow twist. Next a down dog with glute raise to runners lunge combo, some focused hamstring stretches and a kneeling arms segment with shoulder rotations and arm pulls. 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!
