Went back to read this thread after I tried Barre for the first time yesterday. For me, I thought the first section was weak and was hoping it would target the lower body more. On the other hand, I really liked the barre section. I do think it is more targeted towards glutes though, with some inner thigh worked in - so not any plies really to speak of in this workout. I went back to 'meh' on the abs and stretch. I think in the long run, the first section will grow on me and I will end up liking it. I may just do the first section and the barre work next time and then do my own stretching. I will likely drop the resistance band for this one too and just use my 2 lb weights next time - I'm not a big fan of resistance band work and thought it seemed awkward for this workout. I don't think it adds anything that weights wouldn't handle.
For the abs, it seems every workout I do lately does leg raises - it gets kind of boring after a while. Of the three workouts I have done so far, I think barre was maybe the easiest (compared to Fusion Mix and Tabata & Toning). Some good arm work, but core and lower body work was not as tough. |

Your comparison of the others in the set is very helpful. I wound up receiving my copy of Dream Body which I believe is the original. I'll try that one out tomorrow. I can't lie, I'm scared! But, I kind of like this style of work out mixed with my TA and barre. |

Holli, You'll have to post how you like the workout. The first DB wasn't a favorite because it moves faster and people didn't like the popups and loud music. I actually liked the workout but it's not addictive for me like the new set. |

Overall, this will definitely be going in my rotation. I'm trying to figure out how frequently I will do this workout...one or two days a week, especially since I do TA and want to get barre in. But, I'll figure that out. I can't imagine that one can't get serious results from this DVD! Very certain I'll move on to the set once I tire of this one! |
