 good workout September 27, 2008
Carly (WA, USA)
I've been doing these two together for 3 weeks. The thigh work is amazing and I can already tell a difference in my butt. However, the stomach work is iffy. I understand it is meant to flatten the abs, but it is really hard to get the correct positioning and form if you have weak abs like me. However, unlike traditional cruches, it doesn't kill your neck and back.
The arm workout was on the easy side. I started out using 5 lb weights (more than the instructor recommends) and my biceps are not getting much of a workout. Good tricep work though. I have to stop the tape and do more reps of arm work for a challenge.
I am getting a bit bored of the workout, but the results in my lower body have been significant enough that I will keep with it. Looking forward to the new tapes this fall.
Quick, fantastic results September 6, 2008

I'm nearing 40 and bought these because I wanted (read: needed) some toning exercises. I didn't do these very often in the beginning, maybe once or twice a week. Once I saw how these exercises were shaping up my flabby thighs and rounding and lifting my butt, I almost couldn't go one day without doing them.
The method involves doing deep muscle contractions. You never do over 30 reps of any movement, most often it's 10 or 20 repetitions. After working each body part you stretch before moving on. The exercises aren't easy, at first, but they are incredibly effective.
The instruction is pleasant and I found it to be thorough. What bothers me about both DVD's is that you can't access the menu straight away. You are forced to sit through advertisements before starting the workout (at least my player won't let me forward through it). I appreciate their need to promote other products, I just wish it was short and sweet. It seems like I spend 10 minutes doing other things while I wait for the DVD to load. As with most exercise DVD's, you will tire of the background music but there is an option to turn off the sound.
Despite my frustration with those things, I still find it very worth doing this program on an almost daily basis. Nothing else I've tried has made me look this good in such a short amount of time. Burr promises longer looking legs and a butt that sits higher on the hips and this program definitely delivers!
 She's Annoying August 18, 2008

Her voice is grinding and the work-out can challenge you, but is afraid of muscles and curves. I'm not letting my booty go and that makes me skip about 1/3rd of the DVD. If you enjoy a backside and a challenging gym workout, this probably isn't for you.
 Just as tough as weightlifting July 31, 2008

I lift weights four days a week and one day with a trainer. I purchased this video because I was looking to add some variety to my bodybuilding and treadmill workouts. Wow! does this deliver! Even with strength training I do, this video had my muscles burning. I wouldn't have made it through without the wonderful stretches she does after each exercise. That's not to say it's too difficult for a beginner either.
There are great modifications shown and no impact. Anyone could do this, but be ready to focus on the muscles & form if you want to feel the burn and get the results promised. If this workout feels easy or boring, your not using proper form.
Love Bar Method - this is a keeper! July 15, 2008

This is a great slimming, toning workout. By the third workout I noticed my thighs, especially my inner thighs contouring and reshaping. I definately felt it in my buns the next day and feel that lifting as well. I do alternate the Bar Method with my other DVD's since I feel that I need more cardio. I tend to get bulky with my legs, so this workout will slenderize your legs and make them leaner looking. My sister and I inquired if they will be making new Bar Method DVD's and they are in production this month of July 2008 and will be coming out in the Fall of 2008. Well that is what they say. I will be definately purchasing their new DVD's since I know that Burr came out with some new excercise positions that are not in the older DVDs that came out in 2003.
