Welcome to the Shape Up Series. These 4 workouts are designed burn lots of calories and tone your muscles with fun cardio segments and tough sculpting exercises. You will use various equipment as well as just your body weight to chisel and define your entire body. These are total body workouts that will get a lot done in minimum time!

Shape Up Mat is a total body workout with easy to follow cardio and mat sculpting exercises. You will start with 5 slower paced cardio exercises to warm up the body and familiarize you with the moves. You will then alternate between 5 lower body exercises using the chair, then the same 5 cardio exercises, 5 resistance loop lower body exercises, back to the cardio, 5 body weight upper body exercises, back to the cardio, 5 light weights and resistance loop arms exercises, back to the cardio, 5 abs exercises with the chair, one last round of cardio and finally 5 lower back extension exercises on and off the chair. You will be rewarded with a long stretch to lengthen the muscles to finish.

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!
