Pure Barre

Carrie Rezabek
Year Released: 2008

Categories: Ballet/Barre


I have done a few other instructor's barre workouts and this is one of my favorites. The standing work was really tough, my legs were shaking & I had to stretch my standing leg a few times. My thighs were screaming by the time I was finished and my glutes were talking to me in the night. The core work was really good, she gets you to tuck while doing the small curls. Usually this style of core work bothers my back & hip flexors but somehow Carrie put this together where only my core was working hard and my poor back was happy. I really felt great after this workout and my pants actually feel looser this morning! I found the subdued set went great with this workout, it was better than bright lighting. I also liked the one-on-one instruction when I usually don't, it seemed to work best for this workout. The music was unassuming but seemed to really help me stay focused and on beat. This DVD is making me come back to barre workouts!

Instructor Comments:
I liked Carrie, she really seemed to be personally training me. She was encouraging and would let you know when an exercise is almost finished so you gathered up the energy to complete it. No small talk which can get tiresome after doing the workout over & over but lots of encouragement.
