The movements I saw look lovely and graceful but definitely move much faster than I like. And my back tweaks very easily these days so I'm giving this set a pass.
I think in general Linda's workouts move in ways that are too hard for me.

Gina - Agree that Linda moves quickly and some moves could definitely tweak your back. I did modify some and kept some a smaller range of motion. I’ve done two back to back & am taking a day off today.

Oh these really sound good. I love Linda, even though some of her stuff is too hard for me. I love Essentrics/CS and Ellen's workouts so these look great to me!

I did Cardio Stretch today and really enjoyed it. The pace was good for me-- not too fast.
The moves weren't too complex. Quite a few gentle "twisty" moves and good stretches for inner thighs. It was a good length as well.

I did Cardio Stretch yesterday. I consider this much more than a stretch, yet fairly easy. I really liked it, although it was more ‘start and stop’ than ‘flowy’ like Ellen Barrett. Still, I liked it and am looking forward to trying the other three.

I bought the Dynamic Flow Series when Linda had them on sale last week for .99 each. They are very similar to the Feel Good Series but shorter at 25 - 33 min. I did Dynamic Flow Functional today, the longest at 33 min. I liked it, similar big sweeping moves, lunges, etc. I used a chair for some of the lunges as I did in the Feel Good Series to protect my low back & knees. I am enjoying these workouts, they are my first experience with Barlates. I am away on holiday right now & am a bit space limited here. I look forward to doing both series at home where I have more room.

Have you tried Natalie Spadaccino's workouts? There are 2 on Mary's site and they are both good, but I prefer the cardio one.
