Welcome to the Resistance Stretching series. These are dynamic stretching based workouts with sculpting and energizing exercises to invigorate, yet relax the entire body. You will see advanced stretching and unique combination moves to challenge your mind and body. Lengthen and strengthen for a long, lean physique.

In Resistance Stretching Active you will start with a ragdoll swing and stretch to warm up, then move to a bent over tuck heel lift combination, add some knee raises in various directions, then arm circles and pushes. Next some wide plie squats with a tough oblique arm reach series, then an Asian squat with hamstring stretch sequence and more arm combinations as well as deeper shoulder stretches. Then a hamstring stretch and a wide straddle stretch sequence. Next a cardio burst with bounces and taps. Then a all fours, large range of motion set and a down do to pigeon combination. Then another dynamic arm sequence followed by deep shoulder and quad stretches. Next a laying lower body stretch series, a fun seated abs segment and finally a glute bridge 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!
