I think any of the CS/Essentrics that has a lot of floor work would be good for toning w/ out bulking. Since CS/Essentrics does not use weights I don't think the standing work would be too bulking, either.
Most of the workouts have a mix of standing, barre and floorwork. Seasons 11 and 10 specify if it is standing, barre or floor or a combo. Donna |

Jane Fonda Workout Challenge floor work
Oldie but goodie -- I highly recommend JF's floor work from the workout challenge video. That was Gilda Marx's advanced class that was put together by Leni Cazden, and it's what got Jane F in shape in her 40's for the swimsuit scene in "Golden Pond." It's all bodyweight calisthenics, no ankle weights are used although you could if you want. If anyone is interested, I have a spreadsheet of those floorwork exercises.
Also, Jane F got her entire workout and workout style in the early years from Gilda Marx, who wrote a book Body by Design (I think that's the name). the book has a 4-week progression of calisthenics. |

Maybe it would help to know what you consider bulking? It seems you've tried lots of activities that many wouldn't consider causing bulking. At least, from the threads I've read many wouldn't consider them bulking. I haven't tried TA or Essentrics or most barre or pilates, and only stayed on the fringes of Tonique and one CS dvd. Do you want to be strong in your legs but very slender without any noticeable definition? I had someone explain it to me recently as "someone who only does pilates or yoga". Obviously strong because they can hold those poses, just no noticeable definition in the legs. If I'm way off base, I'd like to recommend Cathe's Xtrain or Weider X-Factor ST. Xtrain gave me great definition and hardened my legs. Got rid of cellulite in some places too. I think it was all the plyo. However, I wasn't "bulky". I'm actually going for the bulkier look, but I'll take whatever definition I can get. And Weider made my legs and abs very hard, although I didn't finish the whole rotation.
