I love Barre 3 and Essentrics (though Essentrics especially wouldn't be considered traditional barre 3) and am starting to incorporate some Callanetics. No knee problems with Barre 3 or Essentrics but some of the exercises in Callanetics make my knee scream, especially the pelvic rotations. May just stop dong that one altogether.

Favorite barre instructors:
-Suzanne Bowen -Burr Leonard -Kristen Zurek and Kristin Skordahl (Ballet Physique) -Liz Hilliard and Clary Hilliard-Gray (Hilliard Studio Method) -Elisabeth Halfpapp and Fred DeVito (Core Fusion) I also think Michelle Austin (Fluidity) is a great instructor (gives great alignment and form cues) but her mannerisms slightly annoy me.

Re P57, I like the workouts, but find they are too thigh intensive. The fast pace and instruction doesn't annoy me, but I prefer more seat/glute to thigh work.

After looking at clips of all your suggestions, I think I'm good with Suzanne. I loaned all my Tracey Mallett's out to my daughter, so I might need to see if she's actually using them. If not, I'll throw her in the mix.
I'm seeing workouts differently, now that I'm incorporating the rebounder in for cardio segments, etc. I use it to warm up instead of what the workout offers, which has been a nice change. Thank you all for you opinions and suggestions.

How I could I forget about Tracy Effinger? I the Squeezes! I wish she would come out of hibernation and make an Upper Body Challenge to go with her Lower Body one.
Tracy, are you listening?
