Welcome to the Hip Mobility series. These workouts are designed to strengthen and open your hips. If you have tight hip flexors or tight outer hips, which can lead to knee and back pain, this series is for you. You will work all different angles to create length and strength in the hip muscles. Apart from achieving stronger and looser hips, you will also get a great lower body sculpting workout.

In Hip Mobility strength you will use a dumbbell to increase the challenge of various hip strengthening exercises. Finish with a lengthening stretch. You will start with side laying and seated leg raises and sweeps. Then use one weight for kneeling step outs and lunges. Next use the chair for forward leaning side lunges, sit backs, knee drops and tucks. Then use the weight again for clam shells and more leg raises. Next seated hip flexor raises and extensions with angle changes and finally a laying glute raise with hip rotations. Finish with a nice 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!
