When your hamstrings are stretched it helps your back so much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bar-method#post-1223210 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 20:40:15 +0000 catgirl 1223210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rae! They are pretty cheap on the actual site so I wanted to get two and alternate. I need my hamstrings to be less tight so hopefully there is a lot of stretching involved! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bar-method#post-1222764 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 06:05:11 +0000 rae 1222764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My hamstrings were so sore the last couple days! Yikes! Had to take a "break" and hike instead, lol. I still did my BM stretches after the hike, though. Trying to push through and stick with it... :0</p> <p>Una, the sculpting DVD is tougher. I will be honest and say that if I stay in my "challenge level" in all the positions, I cannot finish the whole workout. The other one is great for beginning and is still what I have been using to alternate with. You can always make it more challenging as you progress by doing the moves more deeply -&nbsp;The downside to this one is only an annoying intro that cannot be skipped. So I guess I'd go with Sculpting if you want to try to work your way up, and Fat Free if you want to start with something you can build upon.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bar-method#post-1221115 Sat, 12 Apr 2014 00:32:13 +0000 catgirl 1221115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I think I might try this - we finally got DS's old bedroom (moved him into a bigger one) set up as an exercise room with a stationary bike and a TV.&nbsp; Which DVD would you recommend?&nbsp; I'm not so interested in arms, as I get that from climbing, but core/abs and legs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bar-method#post-1220345 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 04:27:25 +0000 rae 1220345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahaha, I hate cardio, too! One of the reasons I was so happy to find BM. :)&nbsp;If I could cut out shopping, I think I could fit classes into my budget, but... o_0</p> <p>Lyn, I think these are the ones I have, although you can find 'em cheaper on Ebay.&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Bar-Method-Body-Free/dp/B00011D17M/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1397190403&amp;sr=8-9&amp;keywords=bar+method">http://www.amazon.com/The-Bar-.....#038;sr=8-</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Method-Super-Sculpting-Workout/dp/B005JGVB8A/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1397190403&amp;sr=8-5&amp;keywords=bar+method">http://www.amazon.com/The-Meth.....qid=139719</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bar-method#post-1220342 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 04:14:28 +0000 Ginkgo 1220342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've taken a ballet barre exercise class for a few years and love it.

I hate cardio!!!&nbsp;</p> <p>Rae I am glad you started. &nbsp;Come complain to me when the pain gets to much to bear...hahahaha. &nbsp;I get the annual membership because I figure if I go four days a week it is only 6 bucks a class or something very low like that!</p> <p>Tracey I will check out the Fluidity system. &nbsp;Haven't heard of it. &nbsp;I love the idea of a workout I can do at home when I can't motivate to get out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bar-method#post-1220320 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 03:15:01 +0000 Adelfa 1220320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DD and I do Pop Physique in LA which is a barre/Lotte Berk method. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bar-method#post-1220317 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 03:11:09 +0000 lyn* 1220317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I might try these - I didn't know that they worked with a chair! :3</p> <p>Do you have a link to the videos, Rae? On Amazon maybe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bar-method#post-1220257 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 01:58:06 +0000 rae 1220257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have never ponied up the $$$ for studio classes, but I have been trying the Bar Method videos for a few weeks and really love them! Tried them first when they were on Youtube and saw great results quickly. Then they got taken down and I finally got around to ordering the videos, lol.&nbsp;</p> <p>I tried other "barre" videos, too, but I find Bar Method the best by far. Low impact, yet the tiny tweaks she tells you about your form pay off! I want to get more determined to do the videos every day.&nbsp;</p> <p>Gigi, you don't need a bar. A sturdy chair etc. will work.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bar-method#post-1220185 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 00:59:05 +0000 Gigi 1220185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've never tried anything like this. Do you need an actual barre, or can you just use a chair or something? Will any barre workout video on YouTube do? I want to do more strength training but without weights, and maybe this would be a good idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bar-method#post-1220111 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 23:52:49 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1220111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fluidity bar home system here&nbsp;&nbsp;and it is my all time favorite workout... So frustrated with my recent sinus infections and vertigo that I got off track, but am hoping to get back on board next week... I love everything about it and never tire or get board with it because I love how my body feels after each and every workout... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bar-method#post-1219816 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 19:49:56 +0000 Minnie 1219816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I go to an independently owned barre&nbsp;studio.<br />Bar Method, Pure Barre etc&nbsp;are all&nbsp;based on the Lotte Berk Method and similar.<br />I think how good a workout is, is very dependent on the instructors.&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />Where I go, there are&nbsp;three instructors I really like and I schedule all my classes with them. With some of the&nbsp;other instructors, I just don't always feel like I get a great workout.&nbsp;<br />I've taken barre classes since '09. About 4 months in, my husband commented on my lifted butt and overall tighter body (and I used a personal trainer before starting barre)&nbsp;&nbsp;:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bar-method#post-1219799 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 19:32:31 +0000 catseye 1219799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used their video long time ago but never in a studio. Using the video gets too repetitive, but I remember liking them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bar-method#post-1219607 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 16:30:59 +0000 karymk 1219607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am wondering if there are any other Bar Method practicers out there...I've been doing it for a year and a half now. &nbsp;Although it's repetitive, you get in and out of their FAST having worked every muscle, and leave feeling so relaxed!&nbsp; There are definitely gains, keeps my butt and stomach tight, everything reallly. &nbsp;Who else does it?&nbsp; </p>
