Hilliard Studio Method/Barre Streaming question

[Maybelle]

I’m thinking of trying HSM streaming to mix things up from my typical Cathe style weights, walking and spin classes. From what I’ve read, I’m pretty sure the upper body work will be sufficient and I love that they do a lot of plank work. I’m wondering about lower body though.

For those of you who subscribe or have subscribed, did you find your glutes were worked enough?
How many days did you do their workouts/barre to maintain muscle? (I don’t build it easily)
Anything else I should consider?

Thank you!

Hi Maybelle,

I don't stream their workouts, but I have most of their DVDs, and I feel they work the lower body very well. They have a pretty standard standing at the barre series for the legs/thighs, and their lower body work has included bridge, table, and pretzel all which really hit the glutes nicely.

I love their streaming and always feel completely worked out

Thanks ebianco and Sue! Glad you've liked their workouts.

I guess I need to stop overthinking it and commit to giving it a try to see how my body responds to this type of training. I did the free trial a long time ago, so part of the overthinking is about the ongoing expense of streaming. I appreciate your input.
