…so I do it at home
Wow! What a workout! I didn't know what to expect from the title Stretch Sculpt Lower but from past experience of doing Linda's workouts, I suspected it would not be a gentle stretching routine. And it wasn't! Linda describes it as "lengthening and strengthening" your lower body. I'll be honest, I didn't see any real … Continue reading Barlates: Stretch Sculpt Lower

Saddlebags and Inner Thigh Bulge is a short but effective body weight lower body workout. I really liked it a lot. I used it this morning as an add on to finish off GymRa's Brutal Butt Workout which is only 44 minutes long.

With a title like Brutal Butt Workout how could I not give it a try? And it uses no equipment! This definitely warranted some further investigation. It is a free YouTube GymRa workout led by trainer Nicole Steen. It was actually a really nice change of pace. Not the toughest lower body workout I've ever … Continue reading GymRa: Brutal Butt Workout

Wow. This was a tough and excellent workout! A little different from what I have become accustomed to with Barlates workouts, but I still loved it. Linda has done some other excellent strength workouts using heavier dumbbells but, other than Back Strength, nothing this comprehensive (that I have done yet, that is). It is based … Continue reading Barlates: Pyramid Upper Body
I bought this workout from Linda on Ebay. She has her own Ebay store where she sells workout DVDs--her Barlates workouts and lots of other trainers' workouts. You can also buy it directly from her website. Since I don't know if/how long her ebay listing will be up, here is the link to this workout on her website. There … Continue reading Barlates: Pyramid Lower Body
