Good workout with some unique moves
This is my first Barre3 workout. The dvd requires a mat, barre or chair, a playground ball & light hand weights. There are both advanced & beginner modifiers. The warmup is yoga based. Sadie uses traditional barre exercises & adds some unique moves to the mix. Lunges are incorporated in the leg work. I liked the varied ab work using the playground ball. Sadie was excellent at cuing & explaining your placement in the exercise. I liked this workout, but it's a slow mover compared to Tracey Mallett's or Physique 57 barre workouts. My heart rate monitor stated that I burned about 200 calories. I didn't really feel any effects after I finished the workout. I'll probably put this in my light day/active recovery rotation.
Great Barre Workout
I think this full body workout is well balanced. There's no question that barre workouts are effective, but I just dread doing some of them. Sadie's workouts are different. She changes the exercises often and doesn't insist on endless difficult reps. It's a gentle approach with an emphasis on gracefulness. Her workouts still get the job done, but I don't feel exhausted and bored afterwards. Fewer reps mean less stress on my knees as well.
