Thread: I just got some barre workouts - where should I start :)
Started 1 month, 3 weeks ago by maigosia
Hi all!
I just got some new workouts as a gift (and that's the best gift EVER! ) ... they're all barre style. And now I don't know where should I start...
I'm an advanced pilates exerciser, but I'm new to barre type of workouts. I've done LB High Round Assets and ATRM years ago (and YBB if it counts), but that would be all. I don't know nothing about barre and now I'm confused...

Wow, I agree, what a great set of workouts! And I agree with Sandra that you should start with the Bar Methods. Either is fine. The instruction is excellent and will do you good, and the workouts won't kill you (though you're going to be feeling your glutes!).
If those bore you (too slow and laid-back), then try Squeeze next - do the original before you move on to Squeeze Stronger...
Wow! What a great piece of advice you gave me! thanks!!!
When got those dvd today (actually I've made a wish list based on VF threads and my husband got them all for me best anniversary present I could imagine!) I felt like a kid in a candy store... Now, thanks to you, I know which one I''ll try first. It's almost midnight in my timezone but I'll put TBM into my dvd player - ...
What a sweet husband! and a great gift!
That is a good selection you've got there and definitely gives room to grow.
Good ones to learn with:
TBM Designer Sculpting
TBM Fat Free
Squeeze
When you want to move things up a bit:
Exhale Body Sculpt
Exhale Pilates Plus
Callanetics Evolution
When you're ready for a real challenge:
Pure Barre Original
Squeeze Stronger...

I totally understand! I've got the 2 PB Pershing Square due to arrive any day + 3 more barre workouts (from SASE or trades!) Now to find a rotation that lets me do THEM ALL!!! ETA: not to be a party pooper, but I didn't *love* P57 . It was fun and peppy, but I found it very quad intensive (and I tend to bulk there so I reach for others DVDs instead....I didn't do it long enough to bulk, but the fear is there, ya know?
