Hi and welcome!
I used to be a barre devotee for several years and I switched to TA Continuity Omni about two years ago. Since then I have seen the most changes in my abs and arms and I believe that this is not due to the standing arms or focused ab work but to all the planks/all fours involved in the lower body work. Maybe try focusing only on TA and see how your arms do? Sometimes just changing the type of workouts we do produces nice results. On the other hand, I agree that TA is a little light on quad work compared to barre and during the first year I would sometimes add a short (15 min.) standing barre/ballet segment to my TA workout. Good luck and let us know how you do |

Many people have said here that Hipcentric flattened their glutes, so I would probably keep some of the barre work in there (say once a week or so), or some other work that is glute focused.
I'd give a lot for a butt that is so high my pants don't fit, LOL.

I see no reason why you couldn't rotate Hipcentric in with what you've been doing. I've been adding glute meta to kettlebells (not really doing it for my arms either, since the arm is a 'lever', the moves have momentum, and my bell is still light). I'm happy with glutecentric (for the glutes..my hips in the back still need help!) and I do the videos way less than the recommended 6x/week. I have no desire to follow TA's recommendations to the letter..I don't think it's necessary at all for results. If Suzanne Bowen workouts are making your arms look good, I think you should rotate them in...in fact, I'm going to go check them out since I've been looking for 'just the right thing' to add. |

The nice tihng about Meta is that it's short--if you're happy with your arm and ab workouts now, you could always just add in the lower body segments of Meta to what you're already doing. That would add 20 min. to your workout time.
