I am reviewing this workout after doing it last night, and I must say I am quite sore. This is not the hardest barre workout but it gives me a good enough workout without dread. I would say that this is intermediate. The workout is broken down into the warm up, upper body, legs, buns, and abs. It is nicely chaptered with each segment being about 12 minutes except for the warm up which is 5 minutes. Each segment features a stretch too so it can easily be an add-on or stand alone workout.
the set is bright and she features two background exercisers, one performing more advanced moves and one doing the more basic modifications. They are attractive without being distracting at all. Kathy often stops to teach the moves in the workout then joins in later.
The music is pretty nondescript and I cannot remember it at all.
A barre or chair is required (and a high step in only a brief segment), light weights and a towel ( I used a squishy pilates ball and I liked that much better than a folded towel).
I like this workout quite a bit since I can focus on the moves without losing form as with other barre workouts. Just enough intensity for a lighter day or to build up muscle endurance.

Instructor Comments:
Kathy is her usual upbeat encouraging self. No shrieking, yelling or wooing. She looks fabulous.
