I was put off by the price also. Mainly because I was not sure if I would really like it. So I got off the bandwagon and got out P57. Now I am happy again. Loving P57. It was the book that really inspired me to do them again. I bought the book on a fluke because it was so cheap and people said the recipes were good. I ended up reading the book and liking it and it inspired me to go back and do the workouts again.

Except for the actual barre DVD, I don't think these are barre workouts. I did Fusion Mix yesterday and despite Darby's description that it is a mix of calisthenics, Pilate's, barre, and I think she mentioned yoga, there is really no barre in it. I previewed Tabata & Toning, and again, don't think it is barre at all. I remember her first DVD sometimes also got compared to barre but there was nothing really barre like about it either. I still have the rest of the DVDs to finish in the set, but I think barre is the only one that is really barre-like.
Regarding the clips, the workouts are fast paced, but I think the clips make them look more frantic than they are because of the way they are pieced together. I could imagine not liking the workouts, but not sure I could see them as boring since there is too much variety and you have to follow them closely. |

You're right -- I actually think of them as barre/fusion workouts but the clips definitely emphasize the fusion part. And boring is strictly a personal call---that initial feeling you get when you first look at the clips or do a preview. If I actually tried it I might feel differently but my first impressions were not that of excitement (dread would be a a better description LOL). That doesn't mean it's not a great program. I have a track record with these type of workouts. I typically like heavy weights, suspension trainers, body weights exercise, martial arts etc though I'm open to being excited about any new program. I just haven't found one like this that convinces me I need to try again Hope springs eternal in the vidiot mind. And I really am glad that there are lots of new programs to peruse either way. I can rejoice in some other vidiot loving it and still get a high |
