Welcome to the Ankle Weight Total Body series. These 4 workouts are designed to challenge your strength, balance and mobility by adding ankle weights to standing and mat exercises. You will see a lot of compound exercises and will work at all different angles to maximize muscle engagement. There are lots of faster paced segments to really get the heart rate up too. Get ready to burn!

In Ankle Weight Total Body Barre you will start with lunges with arms in various directions to heat up the entire body. Next a wide plie squat segment and triceps kick backs with curtsey lunges. Then use the chair for balance for side and angled leg raises and a parallel glute raise series. Next move to the mat for side lying outer thighs with varying rep patterns to keep your mind and muscles engaged. The last segment is for the abs starting with an oblique series and a windshield wiper series. 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!
