For example, Winsor Pilates Buns and Thighs is a burner but you only do 10 reps of each move. Perhaps it's the larger range of motion of the moves, or just the non-stop sequencing. As I mentioned before, I can do this kind of workouts daily and they have no dread factor. Right now, they hit the spot. Now, will they do anything for my "trouble spots"? |

I feel you, I also enjoy workouts (mostly floor work) with less reps. I guess that's why I pilates so much, you really feel it but there is no endless reps. And as you mentioned I think it is about the non-stop sequencing. I also enjoy Element: Ballet Conditioning for that. I know Ballet Beautiful have great reviews all around here and on Amazon, but just checking on youtube and knowing I will do 32 reps of every move... I don't know... But, I haven't feel tempted yet (I might change my mind). I also have Precision Toning, I have done the Arms and Abs segment several times, but the lower body sections I think just once each , I felt the burn for sure and the pain the next few days Funny, thought it doens't bother me on standing barre wos or other kind of workouts.

I get along with a workout better when the moves are broken up in to segments, and I don't have to do a million variations on the same move on one leg before doing the same thing on the other leg.
I get better results from being more in control of the moves, which I can't do if I work one leg totally to exhaustion. Defeats the purpose, for me.

I enjoy some Ballet Beautiful workouts. Her bridal series is really nice, iirc, all standing work and she has some cardio workouts that are a lot of fun if you like ballet cardio. That's how it feels for me too. I don't know about visible results, but I know I'm finding it a lot more sustainable, I can do the workouts more often, and I'm not in pain. To me, those things are move important than any visible results. |

Thanks, I'll have to check it out, I've been enjoying ballet cardio lately, it is fun to do! Are those dvds or downloads? I've also been checking the Sleek Technique three dvd set, looks pretty good.

They are streaming workouts. Some of my favorite Ballet Beautiful cardio streams are Ballet Baby Outer Thighs (mild, no-impact), Sugarplum, Skyline, Arabesque Barre (not strictly cardio, but it raises the heartrate) and The Lunge Workout. The plié workouts are also great, but only available through her customs subscription. I haven't done the bridal workouts in a while, but I think they have a slight cardio effect.
Sleek Technique are really enjoyable workouts. I tried some of their online streaming and they are great, but too pricey. Here are two workouts you can try for free: ST Barre and ST Cardio The DVDs are amazing value. I hope they start putting their streaming workouts on DVD! |
