5 STARS - A real winner!!Some amazing excercises!!
Another winner from Linda!!I love how this is broken down into short segments of 5 excercises for each body part-you can repeat the excercises more then once or do several different ones-I will usually add several into a longer workout or fit them in throughout the day on busy days.I'm new to Barlates workouts and have fallen in love with them.I feel so much more toned using the light weights and mat excercises and the excercises are old School but with a fresh twist-Linda is a genius!!
5 STARS - Favorite Instructor
I discovered Linda in the last few months and she is currently my favorite instructor. I am slowly collecting all of her DVDS. They are no frills as far as the music goes but there is so much variety in her exercises that there is a significant difference each and every one of her workouts. Her use of resistance and compound moves is so effective that a half hour workout still packs a punch if that's all the time you have. Perfect for a busy schedule. I already have too many now to review at length so will copy this review for all of them and perhaps a few details to explain the difference.
5 STARS - Great workout
Great segments! I love her workouts, very effective!
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!

Please Note: These are high quality, Sony DVD-R.
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!
