Barre3 Total Body Lift Workout

This workout is a little tough for my knee but is a great workout for every part of your body.

Very good workout!!!!

The only reason I didn't do 5 stars are because my puppies love wouldn't allow mee. :)

I have moderate arthritis of the hip and sometimes have difficulty walking and doing deep squats and lunges. I can do all the moves in this workout with very little pain. Some of the floor exercises are similar to my physical therapy exercises, so I don't have to stop the video to incorporate my therapy routine. I also like that the instructor stretches after working each muscle group.

great workout. needs to be done 2x a wk to get good results

This is a great workout for home. At first I thought it might be too easy but it is perfect! By the time I got to the abs I was wondering when it would be over! It is not too hard and not too easy!! Just right!!

I started Barre Workouts 10 months ago because I wanted to lean out my thighs. My legs were strong and muscular from years of Beachbody DVD programs like 21 Day Fix Extreme, Master's Hammer & Chisel, 22 Hard Core, P90 & Body Beast. I started with Pure Barre DVDs and got amazing results and found the workouts to be VERY challenging. When I heard Sadie on a Sirius XM radio talk about her Barre 3 I was interested in a change from Pure Barre so I ordered it and gave it a try. I thought maybe this DVD was just weak so I tried her other DVD's: Standing Slim, Ballet Fit, Studio Shape, Ballet Boot Camp and Burner.I have concluded that all of these Barre 3 workouts are for beginners who are not in shape and want a light workout. Each DVD had a few challenging spots but I never finished feeling like I had completed a great workout. I actually added another workout on afterwards to rework muscles that never really engaged for very long.My heart rate never got up or when it did, it did not stay up for very long. The movements did not exhaust the muscles they were working.The best part of the workouts was using the ball under the lower back for ab work. This is a brilliant idea to take the pressure off the lower back and really engage the abs. Other than that I felt like the workouts were not challenging.I am going back to Pure Barre. The intensity is much higher, more effective and Pure Barre's motto of " LIFT TONE BURN" is true and never disappoints. Pure Barre will make a cross-fitter sweat but this one does not even come remotely close to sweating.

This is a great workout that I plan on using for many years to come.
