I love Linda/Barlates and her Tonique-style workouts, as they are shorter and more doable, like other people have said. Sylwia's workouts just get harder and longer and I love her method and her energy, but Linda is just more approachable for me lately.
But I agree with Verine and Casey that she excessively borrows from Sylwia. I know she credited Sylwia in her January video, but she uses the very same exercises/sequences in many of her workouts, even though others are mixed up with some other non-Tonique exercises. She also uses Sylwia's "positive suffering/torture" expression in some of her workouts. It gives me mixed feelings since I do really enjoy Linda's workouts, and have purchased some of her Tonique style DVDs. On the topic of Tonique, did anyone see her news recently that her butt masks were showcased during New York's fashion week? Great for her!! https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/201...s-chromat-nyfw

Linda talks about the influence Tonique has had on her recent workouts. The changes she describes that she introduced (less reps, better cueing and form guidance, not as long, adding in some of her "flavor" from her previous workouts, etc) are all reasons that I dramatically prefer Linda's workouts over Sylwia. I always liked Tonique in theory and enjoyed the movements, but overall Linda's style is SO much better (in my opinion). I also prefer Linda's production values as well. She is also MUCH more affordable with her downloads and dvds then Tonique, so there's that. She also mentions she's going to be getting back to her rebounder workouts, too. Yay!

I like all of the 120 workouts, and I like the cardio sculpt ones from 110 and 100. I did find Add it On, Take it off, and Singles and Double (I can't recall which was 100 or 110) to be a little too repetitive. Add it On felt particularly boring to me, which is funny because I love 1+2+3 which is a similar concept. I love all of the Endurance 90 and 70 workouts which, I believe, are on her Youtube site. Lorrie[/QUOTE] Thanks Lorrie! I looked at the preview video on Totalfitness DVD's before I saw your post and your suggestions basically mirror my notes about what looks most appealing. With her buy 2, get one free promo I could save quite a bit just getting those 6 downloads... but I'm still intrigued by the full DVD. Great to know about the ones on YouTube though to keep me busy while I decide. I appreciate your help. |
