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 Sculpt you will start with side to side lunges, adding in a front and back diagonal reach. Then a wide plie position with pulses and up and down reaches. Next a wide plie leg lift x 4 to plie pulse with up and down arms x 4 - alternating sides. Then a curtsy lunge with biceps curls and long lever circles. Switch sides with the legs and do shoulder press with large range of motion lunges, then goal post arms in and out with lower body pulses. Then knee pulls with triceps extensions and straight arm lifts with sea saw legs. Switch sides before hitting the mat for a tough L series with leg sweeps, knee and toes, bend extends and clam shells. Repeat on the other side, then a c-curve tuck sequence with different arm combinations. Then lie down on your back for single and double leg reverse curls. Finally 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!
