Welcome to the Grace and Strength Series. These workouts are designed to lengthen and strengthen the body with fluid combinations that predominantly focus on long lever movements. Using just your body weight or very light hand weights you will work all the major and minor muscle groups in a target specific way. You can mix and match the workouts to create a total body routine or use them individually depending on your preference and schedule.

Using very light hand weights you will simulate long lever ballet style exercises that really shape the arms and shoulders. You will start on one side, then move to the other and finish with both arms at the same time. The rep patterns change from 16 reps of each move, to 8, 4, 2 and 1 so even though you will not be doing a huge amount of reps for each exercise they will add up by the time you finish the entire sequence.

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!
