Burn at the Barre is the final workout I scheduled for my barre week. However, it is not the last! I enjoyed these workouts so much that I checked out two more from the library today but I am not sure when I will get to those. Burn at the Barre is a total body … Continue reading Burn at the Barre

Xtend Barre: Lean & Chiseled
I love this workout! Of all of the barre workouts I’ve done so far this week, Xtend Barre: Lean & Chiseled is my favorite. It is an excellent total body workout that is so fast-paced you get some cardio, too. I did not find any of the moves too fast to do with good form … Continue reading Xtend Barre: Lean & Chiseled
The Perfect Design: Level III Advanced
When it comes to Tracy Anderson I always seem to have a lot to say. After doing The Perfect Design Level II and The Method Mat Workout I felt compelled to sample her advanced offerings. In Level II and The Mat Workout I thought the lower body work was excellent and I also liked the … Continue reading The Perfect Design: Level III Advanced
Element: Barre Conditioning
This is my Barre week. I checked out a bunch of barre workouts from the library to sample and this was my first. It will not be the first barre review to post, but that is because there are two workouts on this DVD and at the time of this writing, I have only done one … Continue reading Element: Barre Conditioning
Element: Ballet Conditioning
I love Element workouts—even when I don’t love the actual workout. Does that makes sense? Element creates beautiful, well produced workout DVDs, even when the actual workout doesn’t appeal to me. Element: Ballet Conditioning is one of those workouts. It is not a bad workout. Some of it actually challenged me, but overall it is … Continue reading Element: Ballet Conditioning
Pure Barre: 16th Street 2
My barre adventures continue with Pure Barre: 16th Street 2. The library had several Pure Barre workouts but I chose this one because it had the most 5 star reviews on Amazon. Of course, I was checking Amazon on my iphone while at the library so I didn't actually read the reviews. I read them … Continue reading Pure Barre: 16th Street 2
The Tracy Anderson Method: Mat Workout
The Tracy Anderson Method: Mat Workout is the second workout I have done by Tracy Anderson. And this one is different from The Perfect Design. Just like with Perfect Design I have a lot to say about this workout. I actually like it more than Perfect Design. Mat Workout is a total body workout (though … Continue reading The Tracy Anderson Method: Mat Workout
The Perfect Design: Level II Intermediate
I have read a lot about Tracy Anderson over the past year and none of it has been good. I don’t mean I haven’t read reviews by people who love her workouts. I have; but it seems you either love her or hate her. There are some strong feelings associated with this trainer. Plus, it … Continue reading The Perfect Design: Level II Intermediate
Element: AM & PM Yoga for beginners
I loved Element: Daily Yoga so much that I wanted to try more of Element's offerings. I went to the library and checked out AM & PM Yoga plus two more Element workouts (a barre and a ballet conditioning workout). First, though this workout was filmed very similarly to Daily Yoga, I did not like … Continue reading Element: AM & PM Yoga for beginners
The Firm: Power Yoga
I came across The Firm: Power Yoga while investigating all of my old workout DVDs I've stored in boxes in my closet. I was actually looking for a different yoga DVD I remembered owning (but now cannot find, so I must have gotten rid of it). I had forgotten even buying a Firm yoga workout, … Continue reading The Firm: Power Yoga
