Linda you rock!

[@chrisschindler7485]

Thank you so much. I really appreciate you. I felt that in the upper butt I love working out the upper butt

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

you're welcome. I love working all areas of the butt too 😄

[@jk-ml7dv]

Another fantastic workout, Linda! Thank you so much.

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

As always to-the-point and tough - especially with ankle weights/band! :-))

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

pretzel always burns soooo good 🔥

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

[@bronwend3883]

Ouch! This is really good! loved the three stretches afterwards too. Thank you so much.

You're so welcome! 😊

Hi Linda This one was short and sweet! But it got the job done. I like that your workouts vary in duration. It's not possible or advisable for every workout to be long. This is just what I needed today. Actually I paired this with Lower Belly Blast and it was the perfect combo. I feel worked out but not stressed.

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

Yes, I think a lot of people enjoy mixing and matching shorter workouts. I also know that some viewers like to go for a run to get their cardio in and then do one of the shorter workouts for the toning. :)

[@emmaeIIe]

I revisited this workout. I couldn't keep torso upright this time, but it was still an amazing workout.

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

It's not easy to stay upright. The pretzel position is one of the hardest to master. It takes very consistent practice!

[@emmaeIIe]

​@barlatesbodyblitz I usually can, but yesterday I had pain in the lower back and lower abs.

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

Ah, I see. I hope it clears up quickly for you

[@brookeg827]

Thanks Linda!! This is amazing- my new favorite outer thigh workout : ) The blast series workouts have been perfect to combine with all of your others! Thanks for all of your hard work

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

So glad you enjoyed it. I love pretzel workouts, they are some of my fav exercises too :)

[@tatianatwin5717]

[@meenalshah2401]

Linda Wooldridge hi Linda ! Can I request you to please do another killer pretzel workout for us ? I simply love this outer thigh & oblique focused barre workout

[@ZoiChristalia]

@@meenalshah2401 i second this

[@elinab376]

I did it - the strange thing is that i only felt it in my back or to be more precise the back waist above my butt :) I have done a lot of outer thighs but non of them obviously engaged the waist area :)

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

The pretzel position works a lot of muscles and the hips and obliques are definitely engaged because you are holding your body in the upright position. If you want to feel more of your butt and less of your waist then come down on one elbow 😁

[@elinab376]

@@barlatesbodyblitz I love that my obliques are also engaged , this exercise is very good :)

[@user-qb4id8zn3h]

Hi Linda, thank you for this video! Just a quick question - does this exercise also work gluteus minimus? :)

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

yes, it hits nearly every part of the glutes 😊

[@user-qb4id8zn3h]

I tried this after the 30-minute cardio video...shorter of course than the 40-minute video but still challenging. I did notice that during the second set of combination moves, you didn't lower the leg to the floor but simply extended and bent it again before extending the hip. Otherwise, for an additional challenge I would recommend a foster kitten to come and purr and climb all over you while you're on the floor. That is of course why you're there, after all...

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

Ha ha! Good spot. Yes, sometimes I forget what I did on the other side because I usually make my workouts up as I go along. Oh well, it still hit the same muscle group. Start with the other leg next time to even out. I have a big cat called Mini who appears in some of my videos. She is a bit older so doesn't jump all over me anymore, but she is often nearby and on my mat when I work out. More so in my older videos before I started filming in the studio 😄

[@SuperIrene85]

Are these for medius gluteus?

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

They sure are! 😄

[@SuperIrene85]

Linda Wooldridge thank you so much

[@my_2_cents_]

Modified. Elbow and not even half the moves 🙃

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

each time you do it you will get a bit stronger!

[@rachelrosen5501]

yeah this isnt great

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

Lol, then try something else.
