Hey guys, if you love working out with me you can now 'buy me a coffee' ❤️❤️❤️ www.buymeacoffee.com/Barlates
DESCRIPTION:
Welcome to the Mat Workout Series. These workouts will work your entire body using functional combination moves as well as targeted muscle group focused exercises. Some of the workouts are pure body weight and others use equipment such as ankles weights and a resistance loop to intensify the moves. Although these workouts are on the mat, they will thoroughly work your muscles and even get your heart rate up at times.
In Mat Workout Ankle Weights you will work mainly your lower body and abs with unique Pilates style combination moves. The ankle weights will intensify all of your favourite mat exercises. You will see a lying abs series to warm up, leg rotations and extensions, outer thigh raises, clams and bend presses, table top glute raises and a tough front of thigh and inner thigh series to finish. There are long lever moves as well as pulses to fully fatigue each muscle group before moving on. You will finish with a lengthening stretch.
Fitness level: all levels
Equipment: ankle weights (can be done without)
Length: 50 mins

Loved this work out, thank you

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ZoiChristalia]

Killer from the first 5 minutes!!!

[@my_2_cents_]

I'm saving this one too! It burnt perfectly! Miss Linda, I'm so happy to have found you! I will do these ovah, and ovah! Love your accent

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

wonderful! So glad 😊

[@barrewellfitness2698]

We're gonna be feeling this one tomorrow!! Thank you!

[@tatianatwin5717]

"I am just being super kind" said Linda in the end. 😀 Thanks a lot for actually being super kind since the very beginning of the workout as it was super kind to start off with the abs. 😀😀😀. Thank you so much for another great workout. I wanted more upper body work so I combined this one with your Hotel Room Upper Body.

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

haha! Yes, I try to be kind sometimes. Rarely, but sometimes 😊

[@daniellestearley8191]

Everytime I revisit this workout I'm blown away. Thanks again Linda :)

[@shm00py]

This one's a killer...in the best possible way. One of my faves. Thanks, Linda!!

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

You're so welcome! 😊

[@lioncub8969]

Okay, I'm going to just tell the truth. I had serious second thoughts about doing your workout because I thought it might be too girlish, too easy. This is my third video of yours and, we're being honest here, I have yet to follow along without pausing and moaning in agony, surprise, delight, and head shaking wonder that I ever doubted you in the first place. Exercise is not new to me; I'm pretty fit. But your workouts are challenging and creative. And most of all, excellent for my behind - literally and figuratively. I love 'em. Thank you so much.

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

Ha Ha! I guess the workouts do look a bit girlie, but hey - I don't mind as long as they burn in all the right places! You will build muscles you didn't even know you had, especially in your butt! 😘

[@dommy327]

I didn’t expect the ab work and resulting ab burn 🔥. Oh and I’m pretty sure I broke my butt! Thank you Linda!!!

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

Ha ha! you're welcome for the bonus ab work and I hope your butt isn't so broken that you can't do another one of my workouts really soon! 😀

[@kasiakg2457]

Brilliant

[@tammycovell805]

LOVE IT :)

[@lauraaswinson]

I so appreciate all of your videos and your style of exercising. I have a foot injury that has forced me to adjust the way I workout. You have taught me that I can still build strength and train my muscles without lifting heavy. I'm so thankful to have found you!

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

That's awesome. So glad to hear that I have been able to help you through your injury. I actually switched to this style of training because of injury as well, and I never looked back!

Awesome job for getting through it! It definitely is a tough one 😀

[@anjaurbanc6353]

I really like this type of exercises, I call them "pumping" :D. I did them without ankle weights as those hurt my knees. Thanks to working out with you, I, after many many years, felt OK showing my legs this summer :). Apart from all the other benefits that I had mentioned many times before. Thank you for being you for the thousandth time. I hope you are doing well!

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

You're most welcome. I am so happy that you are becoming more confident in your body through doing my workouts 😀❤

You're welcome 😊

[@gabyszabo9615]

This caught my interest, even though I don't have ankle weights. Well, I def. didn't need any! The burn was intense, and felt really different from lifting burn. I have the impression that this type of exercise will result in leaning out my muscles (I've bulked up a bit in my lower half from lifting); I will come back to it. Thank-you!!

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

Yes, mat exercises are great for leaning out for sure. I'm glad you liked it 😃

[@eduardos.soriano4448]

That was great! Thank you!! I am burnt!!!

[@melaniekelly3672]

This was an excellent workout! Tough and the burn stayed the whole workout. My abs are particularly sore the following day.

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

Yes, ankle weights are awesome especially for lower abs 😊

[@anuzaseidl9473]

I love you Linda! Even though I am trained yoga teacher, I admire your routines as builds muscles and great for strength with different coordination. Hugs Anuza

[@clombard7745]

I did this video this morning, and felt the intense muscle soreness after lunch when running upstairs....and going downstairs was even worse :) I used a total of 4 lbs ankle weights. Thanks Linda.

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

I can imagine that 4lbs would definitely have burned! 😊

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

Great job for not giving up! I am sure next time you will be able to do more in one session 😁

[@brookeg827]

Fantastic!! This reminded me of some of your older, classic pilates mat workouts (like long lean legs). I loved how you still incorporated a little arm work. I think my favorite exercise was in the glute series- the leg lift on stomach and push up into all fours for another lift. I loved all off the angles in the different exercises though! I did this after the Shape It Bosu. Thanks for a great workout!

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

Yes, this one is definitely a bit more classic. The ankle weights make it hard enough without over taxing the mind at the same time 😊

[@rachellong5844]

Oh boy, this was a burn! I couldn't use the ankle weights the whole time. I have something to work up to.

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

even without ankle weights it's a tough one! Good job for getting it done! 😊

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

Awww, sweet burn!))) Definitely felt it, almost immediately! Also half-way through it, I realized I must have been more sore after yesterday's fusion mat workout that I initially thought) Loved that you added arm work here as well. Also love how by mixing it in some new combinations or adding some variation/twist you make these classic exercises look new every time :-)

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

thanks so much! I get bored easily so I am always trying to change the combinations or rep counts to mix things up! 😊

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

are you sure it's the abs that are struggling in plank or the shoulders?

[@jetaimehayr]

Thank you Linda! This was 'brutal' as everyone below has said. But burns so good in the thighs and glutes. I struggled with the hip flexor stuff at the beginning though. I seem to get so much pain there.

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

you mean the leg scissors? Hip flexors take a while to get stronger, but they eventually do. Standing leg raises with ankle weights on can really help to strengthen them

[@daniellestearley8191]

Wow, I did not expect this to be soooo hard. Linda, you are amazing, thank you.

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

It is a long one. Endurance ankle weight! 😊

[@vanessaandrews3723]

I'm going to try this workout tomorrow.

[@nortinita]

Did you do it?

[@vanessaandrews3723]

Carolina P. Not yet, will let you know when I do.

[@vanessaandrews3723]

I just completed it and it was tough! I've never done Pilates before so this was definitely not a beginners workout. I did it without the ankle weights and modified a lot. I'm going to do some of her beginners videos for a couple of weeks before I attempt this one again.

[@nortinita]

You'll get stronger very soon, you'll see!

[@janetwilliams4441]

Omg what part of me doesnt hurt and I did this with 5lb weights on each leg🤔😣😣😣 this works EVERYTHING my butt and legs hurt even today and I did this workout from Friday🤕🤕

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

With 5lb it definitely would have been a big burn. Good job for surviving it!! 😄

[@sowmyacb3704]

I am excited to try this out. But 😂 the comment section is not helping😂😂😂 I only have 1 kg weights. Wish me luck guys😂😂😂 Edit: i did it😂 with a million breaks in between.. enjoyed it!

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

Awesome job! Its a tough one, but you will improve as you get more familiar with the moves 😊

[@jennajohan5339]

I put on my ankle weights went on a 15 min jog on the treadmill then ended up doing this workout after 🤣

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

Amazing, great job!

[@katacharlotta82]

This was awesome. Felt the burn with 0.5kg weights. Too scared to try with 2kg. Those are my only options 😬

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

Seeing that you mainly use one leg at a time you could put both your 0.5 ankle weights on one leg for a 1kg option 😊

[@katacharlotta82]

Linda Wooldridge oh I might try that one 😁

[@nortinita]

Yesterday, I bought a pair of 2.5 kg. ankle weights. I thought I was going to die at some point, it felt so intense and hard. Had to stop several times, to be honest. But here I am, still alive!

[@katacharlotta82]

Carolina P. I tried yesterday with the 2kg. Definitely couldn't lift the leg as high during those leg lifts with a different angle. 😬

I have lost a bit of fat because I have been doing a lot of cardio with my swing dancing obsession lately, but don't worry I am totally healthy and I am still eating like a horse 😊

[@Daniea3]

Linda Wooldridge Well, that sounds fun!! : ) Let your soul dance!!

[@stephanies3862]

Anytime I do any kind of leg lift movements my hip pops. It doesn't hurt, but the feel and sound is disturbing. Do you think doing these pilates/barre workouts will somehow help this issue?

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

yes, they will definitely help to strengthen that area. I have that with one hip as well. Changing the angle of your leg does help. I find that when I turn my knee out it is less 😀

Loved it.... It will be really nice if you answer my question... Do you do cardio and strength for a sculpted body like you have... What is your routine... Please do share it will be really helpful...😊😊😊

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

I do mostly body weight or light weights toning workouts. I do a lot of functional training and compound moves. I also do a lot of dancing which is my cardio and some rebounding. I workout A LOT as it is my job and passion. Everyone is very different so it is important to find what works for you. Some people can do very little cardio, but others need to do more to burn fat. 😊
