(More customer reviews)This DVD set ranks on top of all my fitness videos I own for one big reason: I'm actually getting some great results QUICKLY. I'm now addicted to these type of exercises and loving every minute of it. I still have a lot of weight to lose, but these exercises are making me look good now!
The Bar Method exercises are deep muscle, non-impacting, very precise exercises that nearly everyone can do. Beware, because the exercises are precise YOU WILL FEEL THE BURN VERY QUICKLY, especially the exercises that target the hips, thighs, and buttocks. The movements are small, but have lots of repetitions. By the time you reach your last rep, if you last that long, you will be begging for mercy. As you increase your endurance, you may want to repeat certain chapters of you favorite exercises to maximize your potential. After each set of exercises, you will do deep stretches that will feel oh-so good. Oh, yes, modifications are shown for beginners (or for those less flexible) so they won't miss out on the exercises.
The tools you will need to do these exercises are two lightweight dumbells (for Designer Sculpting), a strap, and a barre. If you don't have a barre, a sturdy chair or piece of furniture will do nicely. Two participants in the video work with a chair. The barre is needed mostly to keep your balance; you will not be leaning on it for support unless your severly balance impaired.
Designer Sculpting is my personal favorite. There's lots of intense deep seat work on this one. Fat Free is not as deeply intense (don't get me wrong - it's still intense), yet its a wonderful full body workout that totally compliments and finishes off what's done on DS. Very few of the exercises are repeated in each workout, so you won't be doing the same old thing in each video. Designer Sculpting is concentrated, deep sculpting work; while Fat Free goes a bit faster and tightens the body up.
I found Burr Leonard very enjoyable to workout to. She's an older woman, in her late fifties as she states in her videos, who has a great, youthful looking body. She's friendly, sweet, a bit peppy, and not overbearing. I chuckle everytime she says, "Ten more, and then we'll break." At that point, I'm usually in deep burn, so I wonder to myself - "Does that mean we're going to stop or just shatter?" Maybe it's both.
Again, the one thing that has me totally sold on these videos is the great results I've gotten in such short amount of time. I did these videos 3 times a week for 2.5 weeks and then took a few days off being lazy. I few days later I was shocked to find my rear end looking noticeably better! I wasn't even looking to improve that area - I kind of gave up hope on it until after I would have lost all 45 lbs. But, this was the first place it showed up. Even my husband noticed (and loves it!) without being prompted. I've continued to do these exercises, alternating as of lately with Callanetics to avoid boredom. Now, 2.5 months later, my behind has completely changed and is still improving! It's nowhere near what it used to be and I love it! Poor eating habits have kept me from losing the weight I want to lose (I was losing weight gracefully until I fell off the proper eating habits bandwagon), but Bar Method has kept me looking great despite. I'm 35 years old and have renewed hope for changing my body now that I know about the Bar Method and other videos of the like. Thanks, Burr, for coming out with these videos and opening my eyes to these truly effective exercises!
