Favorite workouts this month:
1. Barlates Ankle Weight Back and Front of Thigh - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLMrdU6gWZI 2. Barlates Target 15 Standing Abs - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqvRg_CTvF4 3. Barlates Express Mat Glute Bridge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmoD1nPBNDo 4. Barlates Target 20 glutes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzf9x8TtYTc) [keeping a list since I try so many I will lose track!] **July** July 1 - Barlates Fit in 5 Outer Thighs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz9ap7u4wj0) + Barlates Target 10 Glutes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPsHRulM8tk) + Barlates Target 10 Quads (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNezycaGUm8) (36 mins) Linda can really work those muscles, so much shaking!! July 2 - HasFit HIIT with Weights + Standing Abs workout (35m, 210 cal) July 3 - Rest day July 4 - Bodyfit by Amy 32 minute dumbbell workout (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x27pQEly0y8) - I always enjoy Amy's workouts except there is usually a fair amount of downtime while she explains the next exercise - I just try to keep going during those bits. This one was good, had a combination of full-range and isometric holds - will have to revisit. (32m) July 5 - Holly Perkins 10 minute arms (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9r8vDDDtsM) + Barlates Target 10 Outer Thigh with ankle weights (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UChCzzY17c) - this Barlates routine is AWESOME!! and so time-efficient. July 6 - Barlates Target 20 Inner Thighs with ankle weights (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUP4nuvp0M4) - tough tough tough but moves along very quickly! + Barlates Express Mat Glute Bridge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmoD1nPBNDo - glute burnout in 10 mins (or less...) - Linda says at the end to do it twice if you aren't burnt out and also 'you can do this workout with weights if you want to make it harder. I'd like to see you try. ' (36 mins) July 7 - 25 mins HasFit HIIT for people who get bored (172 cals) + Barlates Ankle Weights Front of Thigh/Back of Thigh (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLMrdU6gWZI) - my legs were already worked over from the Hasfit so this was super tough, I skipped a bunch of sets. I think my legs are going to be fried tomorrow. July 8 - Grocery shopping day, no workout July 9 - Barlates Beginner Loop Abs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaQ7JByPnw8) - I hated this workout. But that's not the workout's fault, I just hate working my abs in isolation lying down (obliques ok but not upper or lower), it always gives me a tension headache and a tight neck. The loop seemed to aggravate my knees somehow too. So I tried but I will pass on this one next time. I tried the first bit of her Abs with ANkle weights and I liked that one much better, will try that one next. Or move onto her seated abs. Or just stick with standing abs, which are my preferred method (but probably not as effective ) July 10- Barlates Ankle Weight Abs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BKHh6Ye_v8) - liked this one much better than loop! I like the creative angles to work the obliques. + Barlates Inner Thigh Fit in Five (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zN1SXEEL3d0) - unlikely to repeat this one, Linda moves a little too fast. Still feel like my inner thighs got a nice workout. July 11 - Barlates Target 20 Thighs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ix5lkw8E2zI) - love this one + Barlates Target 10 Glutes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPsHRulM8tk) + Astrid Maguire ARm Toning (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XJr4-6JZU4) + Andrea Orbeck 10 min arms (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pcaD3wInqM) (about 45 mins total) July 12 - Pahla B Hot 100 Stackable Cardio Toning (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXRe829ZtsM) - this is my favorite of Pahla's, it gets HR up quickly and I find Pahla too chatty in her longer workouts so this was perfect + short stretches on my own (12m, 91 cals) July 13 - Barlates Target 20 Glutes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzf9x8TtYTc) - awesome workout, lots of traditional moves (fire hydrants, kickbacks, straight leg glute raises etc.) not as challenging as some of her others but moves quickly and I feel it in my glutes + Barlates Mix and Match Abs 40/20 - this is a "non-youtube" workout I bought from Linda's sale this week. It uses a small ball between the thighs to intensify the moves. I only did the first 10 minutes today. I loved it! Hoping to get back to it again this week. There is a preview on youtube here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1m5z2Pukm0). July 14 - Barlates Target 10 Arms (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFI2tS2ZYl0) - love this, such a great one to use as an add-on too! + Lauren Hefez Standing Abs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zg1DPOosYw) - didn't like that one, seemed to bother my back and knees. July 15 - Barlates Ankle Weights Inner Thigh (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWdAjsARDkE) - skipped some reps, my inner thighs have trouble going for 30 mins straight + Barlates Target 10 Outer Thighs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UChCzzY17c_ - love this workout, so quick and effective. I think all the Target 10s are awesome, just have to pause when Linda sets up on the other side so I have a moment to breathe and change over instead of her rapid pace (understandable since she only has 10 mins) + some long stretches on my own July 16 -Barlates Mix and Match Abs 60/10 - another one that I bought from Linda's sale this week. I lasted 6 minutes of all-plank work before moving on. I have weak abs so I'm hoping these will help strengthen them, Linda works abs from many different angles (and hardly any crunches/sit ups!) + Barlates Front of Thigh Back of Thigh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLMrdU6gWZI - feeling my hamstrings getting stronger but this one is still TOUGH I also love Linda's sense of humor - at one point in yesterday's workout she says "Next move, we're going to lie down....luxury..." in a wry way. July 17 - 30 minute walk on local park trail (nice to get outside, there were some people around but everyone was distancing well) + Barlates Target 15 Standing Abs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqvRg_CTvF4) - absolutely AMAZING workout, it was everything I expected the Lauren Hefez one to be and it didn't tweak my back. A+ must remember this one! July 18 - Barlates Shape up Mostly Mat (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKGre7M-ryo) - first 15 mins only, this one is tough but I loved it!! Will have to revisit + Barlates Target 10 Outer Thigh with ankle weights+ Barlates Express Mat Glute Bridge (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmoD1nPBNDo) (35 mins) July 19 - Barlates Target 15 Upper Body (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYXEeaJNGIo) + Barlates Target 15 Arms (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8Ath57ZvWE) - on this second one I had to up my weights to higher than Linda's...I think I must have done the exercises wrong or Linda was having an off day - how is this even possible?? Some interesting moves in these two workouts, I liked both, will see tomorrow if I have DOMS. I certainly do have DOMS in my glutes from yesterday and that glute bridge burnout! (30 mins) July 20 - Barlates Target 20 Inner Thigh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUP4nuvp0M4 (20 mins) Not really feeling DOMS in my arms today, so not sure about those Arm workouts from yesterday. I'll try upping my weights if I try them again. July 21 - Barlates Target 10 Abs (with a step) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJLiTvbsTuM] - decent workout, bit short and the ball seemed pointless, it was so hard to hold it in place that I skipped it and still felt it in my abs. Followed by 5 mins of Barlates seated abs before I stopped before I tweaked my back. (15 mins) Managed to squeeze in another one after dinner - Barlates Target 10 arms [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFI2tS2ZYl0&t=505s] - used slightly heavier weights and felt it more this time yay! (10m) July 22 -Classical Stretch Rebalance your connective tissue, Miranda's cuing is just as...quirky as ever and she says 'fascia' about 10,668 times in this workout - managed to do the first 15 mins before I had to go get my car inspection done (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbWgGgRLp94) + later I did Barre3 Total Body in 10 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMyZNnGJljw) - got bored in the last few mins, swapped in some Callanetics moves instead, probably more effective anyway... July 23 - Barlates Abs with Ankle Weights (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BKHh6Ye_v8) - skipped a few reps here and there but did most of it. Then I did 15 mins of Linda's Endurance 70 sculpt (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxlwfGYmR40) which was the standing portion - I'll have to try the other ones, I liked it...then I did her Target 10 Back which was okay but not as good as I expected and then I thought I was done but youtube threw Barlates Standing Abs with a Resistance Band (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1opTe5xQd8) at me and I can't resist Standing Abs so I did it. I wanted to skip the band because I didn't want to tie it in a knot but then decided to try by just holding the ends in my hand without knotting and it worked fine. And wow this was an AWESOME workout, the band really makes a difference. My abs are really going to be sore tomorrow with all this ab work... (65 min) July 24 - Feeling pretty beat up today - Barlates Target 10 Outer Thighs Ankle Weight (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UChCzzY17c) July 25 - 'Active Recovery' day - I did Barlates Fusion Flow Mat (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k21p1SoUj4o) - nice dynamic stretch, took it slow and easy and did some extra stretches instead of the down dog at the end. This was my first time trying Linda's 'dynamic/fusion' workouts and I enjoyed it! It's a nice change from all the targeted work. July 26 - Rest day July 27 - Barlates Total 20 Dynamic Fusion (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-D1Q5nZDIw&t=696s) first 15 mins as a warm up + Barlates Target 10 Outer Thighs + Barlates Target 20 Inner Thighs (total 45 mins) July 28 - Barlates Mix and Match Abs 40/20 - this is one I bought in Linda's sale, it has 40 seconds of large ROM followed by small pulses for 20 seconds. The pace is pretty hectic and she does mention that at the end. + Barlates Target 10 Quads (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNezycaGUm8) - I DO NOT like the band in this workout, it hurts the feet and ankles of the anchoring leg - I need to remember to replace with ankle weight or the long band, I did that last time, forgot this time. + Barlates Mat Express Abs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X40Pq1z4ap0) Those side planks are killer, skipped some sets, next time I need to remember to do them on my knees. I LOVED the C-curve work that was the second half after the side planks - Need to revisit. (~45m) July 29 - Felt tight and sore from yesterday's session so I decided to do a stretch fusion - Barlates Fusion Flow Dynamic (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D806rn9F3hI) - nice stretch, all standing, felt nice and loose after. Mainly stretches the obliques, IT Band, hamstrings, inner thighs. (25m) July 30 - Barlates Quiet Quarantine Mat (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHFiPw0zgWI) - this is one of Linda's longer workouts, about an hour long, all done on the mat. Uses dumbbells for most of the moves but I subbed ankle weights for the lower body moves. Starts with some very creative arm moves and C curve work and upper body and then the usual lower body inner and outer thigh raises and ends with glute isolations that I haven't seen from Linda before. Could use some more hamstring work but there is a little at at the end. Core was worked nicely. (55m) July 31 -Barlates Target 20 Glutes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzf9x8TtYTc) I LOVE this workout, it's so awesome, so many traditional moves but sequenced so well. Then I started Barlates Standing Barre Arms (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKb7qvsY8MU) but then youtube threw so many mid-roll ads at me (4 of them in about 15 mins) that I gave up and ended it early. This is apparently a new 'feature' that youtube has turned on for all videos over 10mins and every content creator has to go and turn it off manually on each video. I hope Linda will do that, I can't workout with skipping ads every few minutes but what a lot of work to have to do for each video sheesh. (~40mins)
