I did all 5 segments today. I wore 1 # weighted gloves for practically the entire workouts. I started with 2.5# soft wrist weights, but it was too heavy, so I donned my 10 Minute Solution weighted gloves - these worked much better.

I really liked it as a 50 minute workout. I was sweating. I liked the moves. Leah is very fluid in her movements, and the choreo kept me engaged. it wasn't super complicated, but just enough to keep me focused.

my brief rundown of the segments:
1: interesting moves and fun
2: fun and more intense than #1
3: also fun and just as intense as #2
4: very easy and somewhat boring - maybe she meant this as a cool down. I plowed through it
5: very barre-ish in a great way!

I don't have her Ballet Body series, but now I think I want it after doing this segment and enjoying the other segments, especially the 1st 3.

what's good is that each segment doesn't have a separate warm up and cool down. they're easy enough that you could jump right in and go.

some of the moves are somewhat provocative - sliding your palms down your quads, for example. but I liked it because otherwise, you'd just be thinking "eh, just plies or squats, ho-hum...." but I found myself squatting lower for these moves and really engaging my core.

I look forward to doing this workout again.

Instructor Comments:
She's very pleasant, professional, and inspiring. you can tell she's had formal training in ballet.
