Welcome to the Lazy Days series. These are the perfect workouts for when you are feeling a bit lazy, but still want to exercise. They are great for beginners who are just starting out with Barlates, or for any other fitness level who want an easier day. There are a variety of different styles so you can choose the exact workout that you feel like doing without any dread factor.

In Lazy Days Weights you will start with squat and taps with reaches and figure 8 arms. Then some front heel taps and back taps to heat up the entire body. Next squats, then curtsy lunges to narrow squats, then dead lifts. Then to the mat for some outer thigh raises and glute raises in all 4s position. Next, wide plie squats, side lunges and single leg dead lifts, and back to the mat for the raises on the other leg. Next a biceps curls and a front raise, lateral raise combination. Then side tricep push ups on the mat. Back to standing with more bicep curl variations, back rows and cross over chest pushes. Back to the floor for push up variations. Then a wide plie and light weights barre arm segment, then a curtsy lunge triceps segment and a 1 leg dead lift and shoulder press combination. Finally an arms and abs combination before 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!
