I'm doing Ballet Body Periodization and Leah does use light weights typical of other barre programs but a lot of her upper body work (and all lower body work) is body weight only. I've gotten GREAT results! Even my biceps look better than they ever have and Leah rarely works the biceps intentionally/in isolation.

Have you ever tried Balletone? I love Sole Synthesis, a nice blend of center floor work and yoga. Kari Anderson has some similar DVDs, but I find Balletone more challenging. There is also Michelle Dozois's Bodyfit 360. It's gotten good reviews but I haven't been able to do it yet because of my elbow injury. Essentrics is wonderful for range of motion and I use it on my light days. The Strength and Stretch video has 4 segments of 25min so they make great add-ons. Hatha is kind of a catchall term for yoga, but isn't typically associated with power yoga. If you are open to streaming, My Yoga Online typically offers a free 2 week trial and has loads of styles and instructors. Some of the content is original for the site and some comes from videos (Eion Finn, Janet Stone, Shiva Rea). They recently merged with Gaiam so soon MYO members will have full access to both sites. There are also Pilates and dance workouts on there. Most of the Exhale Core Fusion DVDs are free to stream from MYO. You can sample a wide variety of styles on there and I would be happy to recommend some teachers if you sign up. |

Diamond Dallas Page is a former WWF (wrestler) who got interested in yoga after being injured...his wife got him into it. He's made his own program, even renaming poses and adding his "dynamic resistance". I am not a yogi and have not been able to get into yoga but am enjoying this program. The workouts are short and methodical in how they progress. He isn't zen at all and his motto is "this ain't your momma's yoga". He's gruff and a bit of a showoff/hotdog. For some reason, I am liking it and liking my strength gains. I am picky, so I'm surprised I found something I'll do! Jackie |

I will take a look at some of the others you mentioned and thanks for the yoga explanation. I obviously have some form issues. I can do squats on my Bun and thigh rocker and assisted squats using my Supreme Pilates swing through bar, but doing those on my own(with the exception of CS), no, no, no.
