I've been using these 3 routines for a few weeks now, and I must say, I'm really enjoying barre because of them. Years ago when I first tried barre, I jumped into The Bar Method, like so many others did and became overwhelmed by all the technique, form and flexibility needed to really feel this method.
I think FBB is great for those new to barre. It is very much a beginner due to the modifier, but also can be challenging, due to the advanced modifier. I love moving at a slower pace now and still benefit from the movement. All 3 routines are different, which is wonderful in itself. I can only be on my toes for so long. I think the 2nd routine doesn't even have you on your toes at all. Nice break.
I have since re-acquired some of The Bar Method dvds in hopes I will get to try them again, after mastering my form and becoming stronger. I have all of Suzanne's other BarreAmped dvd in the Set form and use them as well. Just thought this newest release needed 2 thumbs up.
