I'm an hourglass shape, and when I was doing P57, I ended up getting really big in the thighs/saddlebags area. With DB, though, I've been slimming down all over, and getting more of the overall aesthetic that the instructors have in the workouts. What is your body shape like? That would make a difference. |

I tried Fusion Mix today. I followed the modifier a lot and used a mini-ball when I could since I am not very nimble with the large stability ball. I made it!!!! I could not do all the things they did (was able to get my leg through but then had problem getting back to the low second position plie in one combo), and I was a lot slower, but it helped to look away when they were doing things like ballerina burpees. In that way, I didn't feel discouraged if I couldn't go as fast as they did.
I agree with others that this series is not barre-like. It is a more feminine version of calisthenics/bootcamp. I can see how it produces good results; very intense. |

Yesterday I did a couple segments from Tonique 2, so tonight I'll do a Meta mat workout and 30 minutes of cardio from Sculpt Dynamics. Thanks for sharing! |

Yes, it's definitely crucial to modify and not worry if you can't keep up. These workouts are intense for sure! |

DB is a lot more intense IMO.
I just got them and did one of the fusion workouts. She said pick up light weights so I grabbed three pounds. HOly moly, thirty minutes later I thought I was going to die. Then I did a search on here and found out most people are using two pounds and even going out to buy one pound weights. I was so relieved that maybe I am not as horribly out of shape as I thought. The cardio factors of these is great, because there are no breaks for stretching or anything else. |
