I’ve been enjoying the oldies lately. The arm work in this one is harder than it looks! 😊

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

yep, an oldie but a goodie for sure!

[@melaniekelly3672]

This is the best arms and abs!!

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

yay, so glad you like it!

[@solstice1681]

I hope people read my comment and give this workout a try! Please! Believe me, this was KILLER!!!!!! Linda makes it look easy but take it from me, I lift a lot heavier, I've done CrossFit and bootcamp, yes this is not cardio intensive but you sweat! The pain is real!

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

thanks for your positive feedback. I'm so happy you are enjoying my workouts 💗😍

[@ZoiChristalia]

So true

[@melaniekelly3672]

I've done this workout twice this week. Its amazing!! Going to do it again tomorrow.😊

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

An oldie but a goodie!

[@nancyab2162]

This is a great workout for me since im coming back from a lower back injury

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

Awesome. So glad it could help you with your recovery. 😊

[@lizholden2082]

Arms are shaking. That was awesome.

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

Yes, the tiny weights are amazingly effective if you use isometric tension and lots of reps 😊

[@stephaniepaulin7335]

Hi Linda. I am a 59 year old women who has been doing pilates and free weights for years. I am always looking further to create more challenge with my body.Thank you for this video. It certainly is the challenge that I have been looking for.

[@staceycr348]

Simply amazing workout and not to mention INTENSE!!!! I loved every minute of it. Well worth 30 minutes of my time!

[@ninu1962]

Movements looked so simple but they put me on fire.

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

Yes, tiny weights but big fire 😊

[@veronicaniezgoda8363]

I have been working out for many years and I did this workout with 2 lb. weights. Amazing how you can make light weights so effective. I love your workouts!

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

Thanks so much. So glad you felt the burn. Yes, high reps and isometric tension makes even light weights burn 🙂

[@doula2010]

I am so glad I added this video to some of your other ones. This is the third workout with this one using 3lb. weights. My arms are sore but am starting to notice a difference in my muscles and abdomen. Thanks so much. I have been doing them every third day so I can really recover nicely. For those of you who haven't exercise for decades..get moving. I am 66 and boy was I out of shape four months ago. Thought that carrying my granddaughters and chasing them was enough..haha on me.

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

Awesome job. I am so glad to hear that you are seeing results! I love that my workouts cater for all age groups. Keep up the great work! 😁

[@tatianatwin5717]

Oh! This one was BURNING! My arms and shoulders and abs were on fire! Such a great feeling! Thank you!

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

This is a classic barre style arms and abs workout. They always burn so good 😊

[@eduardos.soriano4448]

That was a killer! Thank you!!!

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

you're welcome 😊

[@charlotteh2907]

awesome workout i had a great time. Thank you

[@caitiadair4660]

Your workouts are quickly becoming a part of my morning ritual, a burn that I haven't felt since the ballet years :) I'd love to also see a video dedicated to stretching :)

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

***** Hi Caiti, so glad you are enjoying them. Not sure if you saw my Dynamic Stretch and Balance workout, which has quite a lot of stretching in it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p327ZJiaaZKNlZI I also have a shorter upper body stretch and lower body stretch workout: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bp_am6KoiZ1jhqc and kzbin.info/www/bejne/gau3qK2vi6maY7c I also have a Yoga Fusion Flow workout available on my website, which has a longer stretching segment at the end: www.workoutdvdworld.com.au/welcome/total_body_downloads/yoga-fusion-flow/ I will be filming more yoga/stretching workouts in the future :)

[@caitiadair4660]

Linda Wooldridge Thank you! I had a feeling you would have a few dedicated videos I just couldn't find them! this is very helpful!

[@Gogogill]

Really great video! Hard but effective thanks

[@cindarella0235]

Nice ! Added this one in my workout routine. Almost 1 month i'm following and doing daily your lower body workout video (The inner thigh challenge - the burner - and lower body challenge). The first days woke up my butt and thighs muscles, lol :) they were shaking and burning like never before. This feeling was weird at the beginning but i'm enjoying it now! After just a month I already feel and see the change mostly in my thighs ! It's awesome. Thx Linda !

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

I'm so glad you are getting good results from my workouts! If you ever have any special requests for videos targeting specific areas let me know! :)

[@cindarella0235]

Thanks for your response! As i said before, i'm focusing daily on the lower body workouts and i recently added some upper body exercises. It would be great if you could share with us a combo, lower/upper body workout. I tried wallsit in combination with ball (for inner thighs or chest) but can't find the right tempo. Any idea or tips ? Maybe for a next video :) ?

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

cindarella023 Hi, have you tried my cardio sculpt express workout? kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJyXnXZrbdWIsKc That one is total body. Also, the 5 best exercises series are all shorter workouts with 60 second intervals followed by 10 second rest, they each target a different body part so are great to mix and match. Here's the playlist with all 11 workouts: kzbin.info/aero/PLzDFFkf4D5gBvDyOlEQXg9ov_wCiDwHdO I have heaps of other workouts available for purchase on my website as either downloads or in DVD format. A lot of them are total body workouts. I have bundle deals available or single workouts start at AU$3.99. Here is the link if you are interested: www.workoutdvdworld.com.au/welcome/total_body_downloads/ I will definitely do some combo upper and lower vids for youtube as well :)

[@dyanag2591]

I was so sad this morning, but i did this routine and i felt better, thanks Linda.

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

I'm sorry you were sad! But I am happy my workout could make you feel better!! :)

[@Arojas103]

Amazing workout!! I thought I can do this with 2lb weights. Haha I was wrong!! I had to use 1lb weights. My arms are burning!! Didn't do the abs portion yet but the arms a great workout on its own. Amazing job Linda!

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

Awesome!

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

Thanks! 😊

[@Shannon573]

Another tough workout. Thanks! I had to put the hand weights down most of the time, and I had never learned to keep my shoulders aligned during tricep work. Definitely good to know. Also loved the ab move where we sat and then lifted one leg and then bent it in. Had never done it before! Really hard!

[@fumblebeee]

Hi Linda. Just wanted to share my appreciation for the workouts you have uploaded, considering I subscribed a while ago and do your workouts quite often! They are very challenging and the burn is so good. I couldn't use weights for most of the exercises and had to take a few breaks here and there though. Love your series and variations. Thank you!

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

pooja murdeshwar fantastic, I am so glad you are enjoying them. Are you getting any good results from using them regularly? :)

[@deanagonnsen6264]

wow. i do plenty of fitness daily. Bootcamp etc. love your stuff. i am actually sore and i rarely get sore. love the ball workouts. can never sculpt my legs properly however your focused method and reps. is working

[@ymadub]

Amazing workout! Whew! Thank you for posting it. I don't think I could've done anymore arms at the end of that 17 minute set. The ab section was challenging, too. I think some of the moves even stretched out my tight quads.

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

Yes, it's always amazing how tough tiny weights can be! :)

[@doula2010]

My doctor and daughter were both surprised at how a 3 ib. weight in each arm could strength my arms so much. My doctor said,' Wow, your arms are really buffed!" She is a woman and couldn't believe I had only been using 3 lb. weights. Thanks Linda!

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

That's awesome that our doctor noticed your improvement. It is so amazing what you can achieve with just your body weight and light hand weights. I have been doing a lot of body weight exercises such as handstands and down dog push-up variations and I feel that my arms are stronger and more defined than they have ever been. 😀

[@marydailey4642]

whoa, that was super hard but so good! thank you!!

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

I'm glad you enjoyed the torture 😊

[@anojajeewani1665]

I thought it would be easier but it's really tough.. loved it.. thanks!

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

Thanks. I'm so glad you liked it!! 😊💗

[@nortinita]

I DID MISS THIS, GREATLY!!! I'M HAPPY I AM BACK!

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

Great, I'm glad you are still enjoying it 😊

[@nortinita]

One of my favourite routines!!

[@glitter4749]

i did the arm portion this morning , the kids were too squirlly to do the ab part...maybe later...the arm moves are so different! I loved them! Very hard. I previewed before attempting and I thought they would be so much easier than they were.

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

+Glitter 47 Yes, once you start with the higher repetition, lightweight barre exercises for arms you won't want to go back to heavy weights! You get great results too without any threat of injury :)

[@ZoiChristalia]

@@barlatesbodyblitz so true

[@stefhealthtips7077]

This was such a great and efficient workout! Thank you for posting :) Very unique moves

[@rnguyen2516]

Amazing! I've just stumbled upon your videos and only did the arms segment of this video so far, but I really appreciate the tips and reminders to maximize the movements. My arms are on fire (I just moved and couldn't find my 1 lb weights, so I used water bottles. I like that you are mellow and soothing but encouraging and not overly perky or chatty like some others...thank you so much!

[@gwenstone-webb2694]

Thank you - really great workout! The arms really burned and the abs section was really challenging - everything anyone would want in a workout!

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

+Gwen Stone-Webb thanks so much - glad you enjoyed it :)

[@vetervgolovy]

thank you! amazing workout -- hard and very enjoyable! my arms nearly fell off and i loved every minute of it. and great and tough abs section.

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

Thanks so much! I am glad you enjoyed it :)

[@Arojas103]

New subscriber here. I can't wait to try this workout. I love that you used standing exercises. I can't wait to try more.

[@JQMurrell]

omg. I did two of your 30 minute videos today and loved every minute of it! I have difficulty exercising at home because I get bored very easily with my exercise routines. And I never find ones that have enough of a challenge Within that short amount of time. your videos have a great blend of traditional and unique exercises comma and give the best challenge even though there are either no, or only lightweights involved. I love it I love it I love it! they're exercises I feel like I actually need a serious stretch after! thank you so so so much!

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

That's really great that you are finding my workouts a challenge. I often find that trying new styles can show you areas that you need to strengthen even if you have been exercising for many years. I hope you get some good results from my workouts! 😊💗

[@SarahJones-bn6xr]

Very tough workout, even with three pound weights! I had to stop a few times and don't often have to do that. Will keep this in my upper body rotation for sure!

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

I'm glad you liked it. Yes, you can even drop to 2 pounds for some of the moves to keep your form perfect 😁

[@SarahJones-bn6xr]

Linda Wooldridge Thank you, Linda!! 😀

[@lorenagonzalez9137]

Have two suggestions, please make some videos about: 1. fitball+dumbbells & 2. fitball+angle weight. Enjoy your workout ! THANK`S.

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

Hi, yes, I am planning on doing a new fitball series soon so I will definitely incorporate some dumbbells. What do you mean by angle weight?

[@anjaurbanc6353]

Brilliant!!!

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

thanks! 😄

[@nortinita]

this seems easy but it's intense. I used two pairs of hand and ankle weights (1 kg. each). I also did an upper body workout of yours. I'm tired now but happy.

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

ha ha! do you mean 2 x 1kg on each leg? That must have been a sight :)

[@brandyphillips8068]

I loved this workout so much! I used 3lbs and had to pause a few times it was so hard! :)

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

Thanks so much 😊

[@carolhaldy7677]

very nice!

[@valchase6855]

WOW!,

[@PriscillaQueirozdeLima]

perfect workout

[@yinanyucelyucel1073]

TEŞEKKÜRLER

[@srmultigaming2768]

Bravo

[@solstice1681]

This is evil!!!!!!!! True torture!!!!!!! I love it!

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

yep, this one is a burner, in true barre fashion 🤩

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

+Amy F - I can't reply to your messages because you have a restriction on your account. But to answer your question, it will burn the hip flexors because when you raise your legs up you automatically use a bit of hip flexor as well. The higher you raise your legs the less hip flexor you use and the more lower abs so maybe try doing that next time :)

[@XYX40]

Great workout!

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

Thanks!!😊

[@cathyrosa79]

awesome! My arms were burning! Thank you.

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I am always amazed at how much the little weights burn!!

[@cathyrosa79]

:)

[@nortinita]

U.U Excellent routine, as always

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

Thank You!! 🌹😊💕

[@astridconcepcion7416]

Hi Linda, first off, thank you for sharing these exercises, they helped me a lot. I seem to be having a bit of a problem with my triceps, I know they're getting some work but would triceps dip make the development any faster? To compliment your workout of course/

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

Hi, triceps dips are great. I have a few workouts that focus predominantly on triceps so you could try those - 5 best exercises triceps and triceps blaster. Also, the Express Mat Triceps and back workout is a good one. :)

[@nortinita]

Exercise in min 27 using ankle weights (1 kg each) = ¡AY!

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

great job!! :)

[@kimberlysmart5077]

This is a killer workout! How often should I do this workout in order to see results?

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

If you do it twice a week along with other more cardio based workouts you should see results quite quickly 😊

[@amyf5240]

This really burned my hip flexors/front of thighs during the ab work. Am I doing something wrong, or just still sore possibly from a previous workout? Excellent workout though, as always!!

[@ZoiChristalia]

Oh my godess. What was that?

[@leezanewill-cordington8395]

What is a realistic amount of exercises for beginners? What would you recommend are the most effective exercises to start with?

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

It really depends on quite a few factors like your overall health, whether you have ever exercised before, what your goals are. If you start with 30 mins 5 days a week and mix in some cardio and sculpting that may be your best bet. I have a number of beginners series that you could start with. 😊

[@gabyszabo9615]

I loved the arms section but was discouraged at how 'hip--flexor-y' the abs sections was. Any tips on how to move it from my hf to by abs?

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

If you bend your knees and don't go as low to the ground it should help with hip flexors. Once the hip flexors get stronger you will find that they don't take over as much either. 😁

[@Arojas103]

How many times a week would you recommend the arm portion for results?

[@doula2010]

What size weights do you use? My arms are burning with the 3lb. ones.

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

I only used 1kg/2.2lb in this video 😊

[@jaymebeauty7049]

Omg. I do exercises similar to these regularly but never with so many reps. I know I'm going to feel this tomorrow. I had to take many breaks on the arms however I loved it. Definitely definitely doing this again. Thank you for the video!

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

Jayme Beauty Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I do like lots of reps. You need to keep going past the burn to challenge the muscles! 😄💪💖

[@Arojas103]

May I inquire where you purchased your weights and weights stand?

[@matheom.8747]

Thank you for your challenging workout! I have a question though: you demonstrate several exercices working the hip flexors towards the end of your video, whereas I thought strenghtening these muscles should be avoided. What is your opinion?

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

HI, I'm glad you enjoyed it. It is good to strengthen any muscle as long as you also stretch to ensure that they are not tight afterwards. With the exercises in this workout you are using lower belly as well as hip flexor to lift the legs so that is why I have included them. If you prefer to take the hip flexor out of them you can do these lying down instead. :)

[@matheom.8747]

I take note of your wise advise. Thank you very much.

[@deancherylspas8424]

My hip flexers get extremely sore doing some of these exercises. Is there a way to strengthen them?

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

Hi, the hip flexors tend to take over when your lower belly isn't strong enough. Eventually as your lower belly gets stronger you will be able to issue the exercise from there rather than your hip flexors. You can try keeping your legs bent in all of the extended leg exercises and if you lie down flat rather than staying up on your elbows it takes the hip flexors out as well. Good luck!

[@deancherylspas8424]

Thanks...I'll try that today!

[@nortinita]

I'm so out of shape! :( Hope to get fit again soon.

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

I'm sure you'll get back in no time! 😄

[@juliecramer7768]

The abs are too advanced for me but I adjust it when I can.

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

Great job! You will get stronger with time so just keep trying 😊💗

[@juliecramer7768]

Linda Wooldridge 😊Thanks!

[@jordanwallace9370]

How many calories does this video and inner thigh video burn?

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

+Jordan Wallace Hi, thanks for your question. Everyone is different so for one person it may burn more than another. The best thing to do would be to get a heart rate monitor so you can input your statistics and get a more accurate reading. Thanks, Linda

[@elia1789]

Are those 1kg weights?

[@barlatesbodyblitz]

500 grams 😊
