Low impact full body workout combining cardio, barre and Pilates to sculpt and strengthen the body in a gentle but effective way. Designed with a slower overall pace while still delivering a solid challenge through high reps, controlled movements and continuous muscle engagement.

The workout begins with an easy-to-follow cardio section using light hand weights to elevate the heart rate and improve circulation without high impact. You’ll then move into a standing barre segment combining sculpting and cardio-style exercises for the legs, glutes and arms, along with light plank work for the core.

The mat section focuses on no equipment Pilates exercises targeting the glutes and thighs to create lean muscle tone and deep muscle fatigue while staying joint friendly.

The workout finishes with a full body stretch to release tight muscles and support recovery.

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!
