I think that this is also why Pilates by Lisa is so effective; all those side-lying moves really lean out the legs! |

I did ballet 13 years so I LOVE barre. Have taken pure barre, xtend barre (personal fav), physique 57, Suzanne Bowen streaming, and every other studio in the DC area. However... I took a barre break during pregnancy #2 and started doing Cathe live. At 11 months post partum I am below pregnancy #1 weight and haven't yet gotten around to the diet part! I am so much leaner now than all the years I spent doing barre and much stronger! I am also mid 40's

I did a total of 18 months of barre subscriptions (SBF and B3) and as much as I enjoyed both of these, I have not renewed either one once they've expired. Other than acheing knees and hips, I haven't really had any "results" from either one. Barre is not for me. What I found that works for me, is about 20-30min of challenging pilates (Pilates by Lisa) per day, plus 20-30 min of either cardio, weights or yoga on alternating days. I try, but I don't really watch my diet, but I am reasonably fit and I feel great. These are the results I want.

I DO have those Ballet Beautiful DVDs. I really do love her stuff, and will sign up for a random month here and there - usually when there is a deal. I definitely see results, my thighs get smoother and lean out some, but the saddle bags remain. However, I don't stick to one thing very long and maybe this is a problem? I love how the standing BB work makes me move in different ways (I Have to be very careful with the knees, though!) and I'm never too sore after a workout, probably because of the stretching. Quote:

I know exactly what you mean! I bounce around too much between methods, and that may hinder my results. Like you, I also subscribe to BB whenever they have a special. |

Thanks, bee! Well, I've done quite a few rotations in the last 5 months, so I'll just say a "generic" weights, cardio, and yoga rotation. You can always search my monthly workouts in "Just The Workouts" for a detailed workout list if you wish. Be prepared for lots of reading, though, since I do like to type! But, I was basing my loss on doing this one workout very consistently for the duration...truth be told, if I wouldn't have had to do it for PT reasons, I probably wouldn't have been so consistent. Now, I'm almost afraid to omit it from my weeks for fear the pain will come back! I guess that's a good thing (depending on how you look at it!) Thanks, Fidget Queen! Good luck to you...hope you can find something to shave off those saddle bags! I do think consistency is the key! |
