Welcome
to the Metabolic Training Series. These 4 workouts are designed to rev up your
metabolism, burn calories and build strength in your entire body. Each workout
includes targeted strength training exercises and also has a high cardio
factor. There's heaps of variety in the exercises as well as across the 4
workouts.
THE WORKOUTS ARE:
Box Sculpt (56
mins): start with fun boxing combinations to burn fat
and sculpt lean arms. You will then use your chair to elevate some side leg
raises in various positions to fully fatigue the outer thighs and glutes. Then
you will hit the mat with the medium weights and a resistance band to work the
chest and abs with some fun combination moves. Finish with a tough abs
series.
Cardio Sculpt
(57 mins): start with a flowing aerobics style routine, move to swan arms
with light weights and lower body engagement, then another fun cardio segment
with a balance challenge element, next you use the chair and weights for a
tough lower body segment, finally a mat series elevated on the chair and a
tough chair abs series.
Circuit (55
mins): start
with a flowing aerobics style warm up, then move to a number of different
circuits each starting with the medium dumbbells in compound moves, then a
cardio blast for the same muscle group, and finally the elevation and heavier
dumbbell to fully fatigue the muscle before moving on to the next circuit. You
will finish on the mat with glute bridge work and some abs to finish.
Functional (55 mins): heat up the
body with some squat, lunge and kick combinations, then move to a fun cardio
set with some old school moves, grab some medium weights for a tough lower body
segment, hand stand variations and down dogs, more lower body weighted
exercises and finally glute bridge and abs on the mat.
NOTE: These workouts can also be bought individually in the Barlates Body Blitz category of my store
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!

Be sure to add me to your favourites list!
I have tried gyms and outdoor Boot Camps, but I definitely prefer to exercise in the comfort of my own home. That way you can workout without having to worry about anyone watching you! It also means you have no excuse not to exercise, cause you don’t have to waste time driving anywhere! I have over 200 workout dvds in my collection and am constantly adding to them.
The great thing is that you never outgrow workout DVDs! As your fitness level increases you can either buy a more advanced DVD or simply add some dumbbells and/or ankle weights to your favorite cardio workouts to make them more intense! The fact is that the moves that really work rarely change! I even have some old Cindy Crawford videos from the 80s, which are just as effective as some of the latest DVDs on the market.
I take my workout DVDs with me where ever I go. I went on holiday to Europe, and you guessed it, I had at least 10 workout DVDs packed in my bag! With most you need surprisingly little room so you can even do it in a small hotel room. If you have a laptop or portable DVD player you are set to workout anywhere!
It is my favourite hobby – and a pretty healthy one I think! I am sure once you buy your first workout DVD you will never look back and you will definitely want more and more! So if you are about to enter the wonderful world of working out at home then I will be all too happy to try and source whichever DVDs you want to add to your collection!
I also love giving advice, so keep the questions coming! I look forward to hearing from you, and in the mean time, happy shopping!
