I've only done this DVD once but it was really good so I felt I should write a review for anyone sitting on the fence.
It starts with Burr explaining about the Bar Method and introducing the cast. They are all in excellent shape esp. Burr who is in her late fifties. I can only hope to look that good in 20 years time. She has a very nice voice and gives precise instruction.
You start off with a warmup, then move into a stretch. First up is upper body. It's a lot like Muscle Eats Fat. I also di the upper portion from Firm Super Body Sculpt si i got a good upper body workout. This tape does not cover the whole upper body, just biceps, triceps and shoulders. My triceps were sore the next day but I think that was from the Firm tape.
Next is lower body, let me tell you, it is a great lower body workout. She starts you off with plies, then you go into different variation with leg and toe positions. Lots of pulses, you'll feel the burn. The best exercise was the pretzel. It's hard to explain how to do it but it's effective. I did this on Thursday and my butt's still sore 2 days later. There is lots of stretching in between exercises which is a nice break and gives you a chance to stop your legs from shaking.
Next is ab work. It is hard. There is a modification shown where you put a pillow under your shoulders if you need it. I needed it, you hold the position and move your abs using your breath. You hold for a very, very long time. Then you get to stretch your abs.
Next is back dancing, like in Lotte Berk. This is done for longer though with different leg and feet positions. You'll feel the burn again. There is a final stretch. The whole workout is about 45 min long and is a great lower body workout. There is a bonus workout blast but I haven't done that yet. I like this one better than Fat Free because of the pretzel exercise. My butt feels smaller already.
I bought this form Deep Discount DVD. The boxed set was less than $20, an excellent bargain in my book.
If you like Lotte Berk then I feel you will definately enjoy these workouts which I think are a little more difficult. Burr is an excellent teacher.
