https://leahsaragofitness.vhx.tv/browse ETA: Nevermind, this is the same one that's on Youtube. Can you download from Youtube? I was hoping when she started with Iron Barre that she would make all of them downloads you could purchase like the others in her store. But just browsing her site I am pretty sure that most of the Iron Barre workouts are too hard for me now. Lannette, I read your review! Wow, the commitment was strong! I also use a Cathe Fit Tower. I used to have a wall-mounted barre but we moved and in the exercise room there's not a good place to put it. My concern is that it's not good for sitbacks at the barre where you need to pull away. But I haven't gotten to those downloads yet. I've had a pretty good week. I had a couple of evenings where I couldn't work out because of meetings, but I got up one morning and did something before work. Here's what I did this week: Day 1: BB Side Lunges + Plies I 10 minute side-lying leg work from Pure Sculpt (Trudie Styler) Day 2: Skipped - no time Day 3/4: BB Basics UB Mat BB Anatomy Focus Glutes BB Plie-Lunge 1 (morning workouts - memory fuzzy of exact order) Day 5: BB Elongated Arms 5 minute unweighted arms (similar to TA Mat) from Youtube Day 6 (today): BB Express Thigh Work at Barre DanceBody Lean Dancer Legs (Youtube) I will probably continue to mix Ballet Body with things similar to DanceBody. I love floorwork and feel like my body needs some of that sprinkled in to feel like I'm working all angles. I've had really good results in the past with this kind of rotation, but that was also before I went back to work full-time so I had more time to add in some yoga and some Raviana stuff as well. |

I like the idea of downloads better than streaming but the BB downloads I own just sit on the laptop. I burned the Periodization schedule to DVDs back when I first bought them but I’ve since misplaced some of those DVDs. I’ve read that people put them on an iPod but I’m not sure I want to deal with learning the ins and outs of using an iPod.

I actually prefer the downloads to DVD's now, because they are "on the go" workouts. When we travel, there isn't always a DVD player available, but I have done Ballet Body in my bedroom at the beach (away from the family) by just sitting the laptop on top of the dresser (there wasn't a TV in the room). Or I will pack an HDMI cable and hook the laptop up to the TV in a hotel room. I've worked out this way for so long now I just prefer it. A few years ago, DH took his Ultimate Yogi set on vacation and he accidentally left one of the DVD's in the DVD player at the resort. Fortunately, we called the manager and they were able to find it and mail it back to us. With downloads, no need to worry about that! I have many more workouts on my laptop as files than I have as DVD's now, and one of these days I hope to have time to copy my favorite DVD's to my hard drive. If you're resisting the downloads, what about moving on to the other Signature Series DVD's? PS. I don't know anyone who uses and IPod anymore. Do they still make them? Everyone I know has a smartphone that has taken the place of MP3/IPods. |

I rarely use our laptop but do have our gym TV set up so I can plug my iphone or iPad Pro into the tv and cast streaming workouts. I guess the set up would cast downloads too. I think I need to get into the downloads and play around with them. Maybe try moving a few to my iPad or iphone. The more I manipulate them the more comfortable I should become with them. BTW, they do still make iPod Touches with 128 GB of storage. When I thought about an iPod I was thinking in terms of dedicating it to downloads and only downloads. Then I’d leave it in the gym. Probably not cost effective.

THIS HAS BEEN RESOLVED! Leah emailed me.
Not too happy tonight. It seems that my BB registration has been deleted. My password is not recognized and the site doesn’t recognize my email to reset it. I was able to create a new account using the same info but now my fan club discount is invalid! I’ve been trying to contact Leah for a couple weeks to get a simple question about downloads answered but they never respond. Now this! Is this typical of Ballet Body’s customer service? Really shoddy.

That’s where I’ve been emailing. Now the discount is showing up but given the lack of response to my emails I’m nervous about ordering. Oh well the good news is that I found my old downloads and was able to get them onto my iPhone and then mirror them to my gym tv. The file for my schedule PDF is corrupted and I wanted to see if she’d allow me to purchase only the Periodization 1 schedule since I have all the files. I’ll probably be able to figure it out for the most part from the DVDS I burned years ago. With luck I’ll find another copy of the schedule PDF on our external hard drive. Those DVDS are looking better all the time! Lannette

UPDATE: Leah emailed me. There have apparently been tech issues with the store that they’re working on resolving. I’m posting this as a heads up.
