The workouts are a combination of standing and mat exercises with 50 reps per exercise and a total of 20 rounds per workout. These workouts are advanced, so pace yourself and take breaks when needed!

DISC 1

Abs (41 min): start standing with lots of cross body crunches and raises to really burn out the obliques. Then hit the mat for laying, seated and side laying upper and lower ab exercises.

Cardio & Mat (29 min): There are some higher impact exercises in the cardio to accelerate fat burning in a short amount of time, but modifications are shown throughout. The mat work focuses on booty and thighs with a little abs too.

Mobility Sculpt (55 min): start with compound exercises to heat the body. It's a mostly mat workout, but don't be fooled, the exercises may feel good because of the stretch element, but they add up quickly and give a nice steady burn!

Upper Body (40 min): A lot of the exercises are seated in a chair, which stops you from cheating by moving around too much. There is a lot of focus on form and alignment.

DISC 2

Hamstrings (30 min): start standing with lots of squats, lunges and angled butt raises and extensions. Then hit the mat for seated, laying and all 4s raises, presses and extensions.

Inner thighs & Quads (26 min): start standing with lots of plie squats and angled leg raises. Then hit the mat for seated and laying raises, presses and extensions.

Outer thighs & glutes (30 mins): start standing with lots of squats and leg raises from all different angles. Then hit the mat for side laying raises including clam shells and L-shape.

Thighs & Calves (33 mins): You will start standing with lots of lunge variations and calf raises. Then hit the mat for laying inner and outer thighs.

NOTE: You can also buy these workouts individually.

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!
