This is the "advanced" Bar Method program -- it focuses less on teaching the basic moves and more on movement variety/intensity. The Bar Method intermixes challenging versions of traditional toning moves with unique pulse and isometric exercises. It’s a surprisingly tough workout — you get elements of ballet, Pilates, Callanetics, stretching and traditional body-sculpting. Most moves isolate a single muscle group, working it in a variety of ways (e.g. a squat done on tip-toes increases intensity, isolates the quadriceps ... and improves balance). Other results-boosting techniques include short pulses, varied-tempo reps and multi-plane exercises. This "advanced" program is harder than "Bar Method Change Your Body" -- it's faster paced, has longer range of motions and lots of subtle level boosters. Burr Leonard’s cuing is exceptionally clear and detailed (like Pilates, The Bar Method demands discipline, control and precise form). Requires 2 to 4 lb. dumbbells and a ballet barre (or just a sturdy chair).
