Build strength, tone lean muscle and enjoy a deep, steady burn with this 45-minute upper body workout using hand weights, a long Pilates band and a chair for support. This controlled, low-impact session blends Pilates cardio sculpt with traditional strength training to target the arms, shoulders, back, chest and triceps from every angle.

You’ll start with a 20-minute standing Pilates cardio sculpt segment using light hand weights to warm the body, elevate the heart rate and engage the core and lower body through stability-based movements. This section focuses on posture, balance and long, controlled arm work for a gentle but effective burn.

Next, move to a chair and long Pilates band for targeted upper-body toning. This segment includes arm, shoulder and back exercises with plenty of angle changes and mobility-focused movements to improve range of motion while sculpting long, lean arms.

The workout then progresses into moderate weighted strength work using dumbbells (I use 3.5kg / 8lb and 2.5kg / 5lb). Expect drop-set style combinations, slower controlled reps and some lower-body engagement to increase intensity and muscle fatigue.

Finish on the mat with triceps-focused exercises, push-up variations and a full upper-body stretch to release tension and restore mobility.

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!
