Welcome to the Quiet Quarantine series. These workouts are designed to give you a low impact total body burn that won't wake up the neighbours. Perfect if you live in an apartment, but obviously still effective even if you don't! Work off some of that lock down frustration and get in shape for the big reveal on the other side.

In Quiet Quarantine Barre you will use light hand weights and a pilates ring to chisel your entire body. You will start with some releve combinations to warm up through your feet and ankles, these will include turn out plies, hinges, up and down calf raises and staggered plies. Next move into an outer thigh and oblique series with a wide plie to knee pull with extension, then just the extensions, then a long lever leg and arm crunch. Repeat on the other side, then an all fours series with a balance hold and triceps extensions then staggered triceps push ups to change sides. Next a wide plie, pilates ring upper body segment with pulses and squeezes, one side releve with pulse and oblique bend, then a figure eight move and a stearing wheel twist to finish. Next put the ring around your ankles for some standing leg raises and extensions. Then move to the floor for some tough abs work with the ring around your ankles then around your thighs. Finish with the ring between your inner thighs for c-curve tucks and squeezes and a twisted oblique crunch series. 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!
