Barlates: Upper & Lower Drop Sets
As soon as I saw that Linda Wooldridge was filming Drop Sets workouts I was very excited.

Barlates: Bosu Total Body Fusion
I got a Bosu Ball for Christmas! I got it primarily for Yvette Bachman workouts but once I owned it, no reason not to find other workouts I can use it with. And since I am already a big fan of Linda Wooldridge's Barlates workouts, I was thrilled to see she had a whole DVD … Continue reading Barlates: Bosu Total Body Fusion

Barlates: Stretch Flex Tone Lower
Stretch Flex Tone Lower is a workout that I purchased directly from Linda Wooldridge via her website.

FYI--when you order directly from Linda, she will put multiple … Continue reading Barlates: Stretch Flex Tone Lower
Barlates: Yoga Barre Fusion
Yoga Barre Fusion is a collection of 3 workouts from Linda Wooldridge that combine yoga and barre into intense body weight strength workouts. Do not let the word yoga in the title make you think you will hold any pose for long--at least not during the majority of any of the workouts. The actual holding … Continue reading Barlates: Yoga Barre Fusion
