Welcome to the No Excuses Series. These workouts will leave you with no excuses not to workout! They are short and sharp, so you can't use the excuse that you don't have time. They use minimal equipment that can be found around the house - a chair, some water bottles as weights. They are easily modifiable with lots of options so you can't use the excuse that it is too hard. So there you go, no excuses, in fact, you might just enjoy the workouts so much that you want to string a few together for a longer challenge!

In No Excuses Tone It you will start in a plank on the chair with glute raises to front steps, make it bigger by going into down dog glute raise to forward step with triceps push up. Stay one side and do lunge taps with triceps push ups, repeat other side. Next hinged over calf raises alternating feet in parallel. Next plank to knee pull across and same side, turned out hinged over calf raises, then repeat the plank knee pulls other side. One more set of hinged calf raises, then go into side lying position with rotating leg sweeps, finish the set with angled leg pulses. Repeat on the other side, then angled pulses and knee toe taps with the dumbbell behind the knee. Repeat the series on the other side 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!
