Welcome to the Low High Series. These workouts are low impact yet high intensity so you will feel the burn without jarring your joints. You will use various easy to find equipment to increase the challenge. If you don't have the equipment you can still do it without or improvise with what you have. These workouts require minimal space and can either be used stand alone or string a few together for a bigger challenge!

In Low High Strong Body you will use light ankle weights and a step to sculpt your entire body. You will start with a down dog knee pull and double knee tap combination to heat up your body. Then a down dog to step in and opposite glute raise. Then stay in a hinged forward glute raise, open the hip with a straight leg turned out raise, then hold the leg out straight and plie the supporting leg, figure 8s and finally straight leg angled raises. Next side to side hover walks before doing the other side. Then front and back hover walks before using the step for abs and inner thighs. Next a tough squat tap and down dog push up series. Then more squat taps and side to side squats off the step. Then squat to butt kicks, knee and toe squats and tricep lowers. Finally a glute bridge segment with feet on the step and 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!
