The Bar Method Accelerated Workout Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the brand new (2009) set of DVDs at[...]. One is "Change Your Body" and the other is "Accelerated Workout." I am 60 years old and have tried many at-home workout videos and a few gym classes over time. I know that most of the people who are Bar Method enthusiasts are much younger and really into sculpted, trimmed, energetic bodies, but given that Burr, the instructor (yes, the beautiful woman pictured on the cover), is 61 years old, I was very encouraged to try it myself. I haven't moved up to the accelerated workout yet, but the pace and intensity of "Change Your Body" really works for me. I truly can feel changes in my body, particularly in my legs, buttocks and abs (which have been weak). I feel much stronger every day, and have more energy. I've been dragging around with chronic fatigue for years, and this is helping beyond my expectations. Also, I've been slowly dropping excess weight because of the fat burning benefits. However, I ready on Burr's blog that the beneficial effects of fat burning are generally for people who are only about 30 pounds overweight. There are some people my age and older that I would not suggest try this without going to a studio first to learn about appropriate modifications, but for those in relatively good shape who what to improve their bodies, I find the Bar Method workout DVD to be really excellent. And of course, the younger people are going crazy for it. By the way, the DVD SET costs only $30 and can be purchased separately at $20 each. More than worth the money, even in these "tighen the belt" times.

The pace of the Bar Method class picks up to maximize caloric burn both during and following this total body 50-minute workout. The class starts with a warm-up that includes free-weight exercises and push-ups and proceeds to challenge you with series of bar exercises guaranteed to give your upper legs and buns a long, lean, lifted, trimmed-down look. The second part of the class includes core sculpting, the Bar Method's sexy "back-dancing" exercise, and a peaceful series of final stretches. Burr's fellow performers, Catherine Wendel, Jen Hendrick and Jane Culliford are teacher/owners of Bar Method studios in Chicago, New Jersey and New York.
