…so I do it at home
I was very interested when I saw that Linda Wooldridge had created a new series called Warm & Stretch. Not just because I am in recovery mode and looking for easier workouts. Warm & Stretch workouts look and sound like something I would use in conjunction with yoga on my yoga Sundays--regardless of what my … Continue reading Barlates: Warm & Stretch/Standing
My doctor finally gave me clearance to exercise again--though I have restrictions. No impact, I cannot lift dumbbells heavier than 2-3 pound dumbbells, no planks or push ups. Though that limits things, there are still quite a few workouts I can do--including some of Linda's new Barlates workouts. Yesterday I did one of Jessica Smith's … Continue reading Barlates: Fusion Flow/Easy Cardio
I thought, by the title (Bodyweight Basics Lower), this might be more my speed. I don't have a problem with Linda's Beginner Interval workouts right now, but her Endurance 90 Lower killed me. I thought--maybe this will be easier than Endurance 90 Lower. And it probably is easier. But chemo is really tearing me down … Continue reading Barlates: Bodyweight Basics Lower
Beginner Intervals: Ramp It Up is the fourth workout in Linda Wooldridge's Beginner Interval series. The other 3 workouts are Old School Aerobics, Compound Moves and Cardio Sculpt. I love all of these workouts but I think Old School Aerobics is still my favorite. Ramp It Up, as indicated by the title, is a bit … Continue reading Barlates: Beginner Intervals: Ramp It Up
Endurance 90 Lower is a super tough (IMHO) workout from Linda Wooldridge. I've really been wanting to do this workout ever since Linda posted it to YouTube but I am getting chemo and my workouts are all over the place. I either cannot workout at all, or I have to do something really easy (Jessica … Continue reading Barlates: Endurance 90 Lower
HIIT Barre is another tough but excellent workout from Linda Wooldridge and it is free on YouTube. I have really been enjoying her new Beginner Intervals workouts but I also have always loved her barre HIIT workouts (Mix & Match HIIT, Barre Kettlebell HIIT, Sweat Series, Full Body HIIT Series--and those are just the ones … Continue reading Barlates: HIIT Barre
Linda Wooldridge just released another Beginner Intervals workout and I couldn't wait to try this one! I found Old School Aerobics more intense than her other two Beginner Intervals workouts (Compound Moves and Cardio Sculpt). I love all 3 of them but this one is definitely my favorite of the 3 and actually had me … Continue reading Barlates: Beginner Intervals: Old School Aerobics
This was an excellent total body barre workout using light weights. The only muscle group not touched is your back. Linda Wooldridge offers this workout free on YouTube. When the workout begins, the intro/title screen says "Glute Bridge on the Ball" but it is actually Long Lever Upper & Lower, as labeled--so don't worry! You … Continue reading Barlates: Long Lever Upper & Lower
Compound Moves is the other Beginner Intervals workout Linda Wooldridge created and posted to YouTube. Yesterday I did and reviewed Cardio Sculpt. Not an intense workout but lots of fun and I really enjoyed it. Same with this workout. Compound Moves is similar to Cardio Sculpt--the moves are different but it is a short (20 … Continue reading Barlates: Beginner Intervals Compound Moves
I was very excited when Linda Wooldridge posted her Beginner Intervals workouts (she has posted two now). She posted this one on March 12 which was 3 days after my mastectomy--so it was a perfect workout for me. Not immediately but perfect for when I could start working out again. I have already started exercising … Continue reading Barlates: Beginner Intervals Cardio Sculpt
