Just coming back for a quick update, I started with Barre3 28 to Great I guess 4 or 5 weeks ago, because I too needed to find something new to do while my injury heals, but then stopped after a week due to a very close death in the family.
I was able to start back up this past week and again, just picked up with 28 to Great. But last night, I wasn't in the mood to commit to the 60 minute video on the schedule so I opened up the DVD from this set with the short routines in the Inches Off Belly, Butt, Hips, and Thighs just to do the 10 minutes Time Saver Shape Up, and REALLY enjoyed it, I then moved on and did the 5 minute cardio and the 8 minute core and stretch, and overall I ended up getting in a decent little workout when I was really close to doing nothing for the day. I loved all of them. I was surprised, but that 5 minute NO impact cardio did get my heart pumping. In the 10 and 5 minute, she does a lot of squat moves, which I am happy about, I have made a lot of progress with my squats and want to keep incorporating them even if it's just unweighted.
They would be great to just pop in the morning before work, or to do during the day to get in some movement (something I am trying to work on), or like Sadie said, they would even work later at night.
In addition to being a good new workout to use during my injury, Barre3 is also helping me to get past my motivational issues I have right now, to at least just get moving. It seems much easier to make myself do these than anything that will require too much exertion. Plus i can practically wear anything and do these.
Sadie is wonderful, she is very encouraging, and I feel I got some better form tips in these little workouts that really helped me feel the exercises where I was supposed to. I'm hesitant to say this based on just doing the short workouts, but these may be better than the 28 to great ones. I love the set, the music is always just nicely there but never intrusive or that noticeable. I got a lot of the burning feeling from the moves, an as mentioned even got my heart rate up. I am VERY glad I started this little journey into something new with Barre3, the mood and vibe of them always feels nice and light and encouraging, and my legs certainly feel it the next day.
I am looking forward to trying all the workouts in the set, and think I will just do these as I want instead of following the 28 to Great rotation right now. I am happy I bought them.
