Lotte Berk: High Round Assets

Kristen Lilley
Year Released: 2003

Categories: Ballet/Barre


I've done the basic workout on the DVD, and it wasn't as hard as I'd hoped it would be. I was slightly sore in my hamstrings the next day, but had been hoping my glutes would have been hit a little more. I don't really care if my hamstrings are high and round! It's my assests I'm concerned about. I may need to do this a few more times, and maybe something in my form will change so that the glutes are hit a little more...
I enjoyed the workout, and it involves little or no bending of the knees, which is what I need right now.
Most of the moves remind me of regular old floor work, but done using the barre ( I used a wall.) I would compare some of the moves to the leg work in Kathy Smith's Secrets to a Great Lower Body. (Standing, leaning into a chair, lifting your straightened rear leg behind you.)

Instructor Comments:
I can't be bothered putting my DVD in to check the instructor's name, but she was pleasant and relatively motivating. She gives some details before each move, then counts out the reps (up hold, up hold, up hold...up one, up two...) She is motivating near the end of each set (you can do it, this is intense, keep moving).
