Welcome to the Low High Series. These workouts are low impact yet high intensity so you will feel the burn without jarring your joints. You will use various easy to find equipment to increase the challenge. If you don't have the equipment you can still do it without or improvise with what you have. These workouts require minimal space and can either be used stand alone or string a few together for a bigger challenge!

In Low High Ramp It Up you will start with an easy to follow step warm up with step ups, knee ups and L-steps. Then move to a squat tap up on the step, squat knee and squat kick with biceps curls. Repeat on the other side before moving into a curtsy lunge with upright row combo, again ramping it up from taps ups, to knee ups to cross body kicks. Repeat on the other side, then move to a push up with front and back glute raise using the step to elevate. Ramp it up by stepping up onto the step, then finish by staying on the step with a lunge to glute raise combo. Repeat on the other side, then move into a back lunge off the step with a butt kick and triceps extensions, then a straight leg glute raise. Repeat on the other side, then move into a pretzel on the step with oblique crunches with knee lifts then straight leg lifts. Repeat on the other side and finish with 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!
