GET ALL 4 BOUNCE INTERVALS SERIES WORKOUTS
Welcome to the BOUNCE INTERVALS Series. As the name suggests, these are interval workouts that give you maximum burn and a minimal recovery time. These are more advanced bounce workouts that will get your heart rate high and your muscles burning. The series will include cardio exercises as well as unique sculpting intervals that will create long lean muscles and challenge your core stability. If you don't have a rebounder you can still perform all of these exercises on the floor.
THE WORKOUTS ARE:
Cardio (30 mins): You will start off with some slightly easier moves such as jumping jacks, knee raises and side leg raises to warm up and then move into high intensity plyo moves on and off the rebounder, finishing with a lengthening stretch.
Up and Down (34 mins): You will start with some slightly easier moves such as aeroplanes, jacks and twists to warm up, then move to cross over jacks, diagonal front and back knee ups, squat thrusts with tuck jumps on and off the rebounder, mountain climbers with glute raises, inverted butt kicks and side to side leg raises.
Total Burn (33 mins): You will start with some slightly easier moves such as alternating front and side kicks, then ramp up the intensity with front and back kicks, fast jumps, a floor to rebounder jump with side touch downs and jack combination, fast side touch downs, on and off jumps, a side to side shoulder press and squat combination, single side long kicks, hand stands and a plank walk to butt kick combo, finally some tuck jumps, hitch kicks and a kneeling to standing biceps triceps combination.
Singles and Doubles (32 mins): You will start with a single side of a particular move, then do the other side then do both sides alternating and finally move back to a single side power move but on and off the trampoline (hence the name singles and doubles).
About the instructor: Hi, I'm Linda - creator of Barlates Body Blitz. I have worked in the diet and fitness industry as an instructor and personal trainer for most of my career and have created close to 500 workout videos to bring my passion for exercise to you! My desire is to help you sculpt a strong, healthy body with a fusion of barre, Pilates, yoga as well as more traditional cardio + toning exercises. So what are you waiting for? Let's go work out together!
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!
