I saw one other review before I posted this for Cathe's Turbo Barre. That was by a non-barre-enthusiast, like me, too. I suppose that is understandable because barre enthusiasts are more likely to get Barre workouts from Barre specialist instructors.

I have only done this workout once and I enjoyed it more than I expected to. While it is relatively long at about 70 minutes, it felt like a whole lot less because Cathe kept changing things up.

I found the upper body work a bit gratituous. It seemed thrown in there just as a token nod to being a total body workout. The abs and legs on the other hand, were worked very thoroughly.

On some one-legged moves, I felt it strain in the standing leg rather than working leg. That could entirely be my fault as I am not barre proficient and may not have been doing the exercise correctly. But on most exercises, despite that my legs are used to being worked with heavy weights, I felt the burn.

The Ab work is traditional mat Abs, but with an interesting twist to most exercises. I enjoyed this segment the most.

On the next day, I had very mild but interesting DOMS. They were not in the qauds and hamstrings where I feel the DOMS after my typical weighted leg-training. I could feel parts of my glutes and thighs where I dont usually notice any soreness.

The music was nothing special to my ears, but not offensive either.
