The Bar Method integrates the fat-burning format of interval training, the muscle shaping technique of isometrics, the elongating principles of dance conditioning, and the science of physical therapy to create a revolutionary workout that quickly and safely sculpts and re-shapes your entire body. The Bar Method's unique non-impact exercises target all major muscle groups, improving posture and increasing physical grace. The result is a recognizable "Bar Method body" that features sculpted arms, flat abs, a lifted seat and firm thighs.
Get ready! Actress, singer, dancer and master Bar Method teacher Marnie Alton delivers a no-holds-barred super-advanced Bar Method DVD workout that will slim down and sculpt your body quickly. In this 62 minute long Bar Method class Marnie draws from the principles of dance to target the muscles that give your body a beautiful, defined, graceful appearance. Exercises include: "water-ski thigh-work," "arabesque," and the Bar Method's wicked new abdominal exercise, "the clam." Marnie's fellow performers are Denise Burchard, co-owner of the Portland Bar Method studio, Marin Van Vleck, upcoming owner of a Dallas-area Bar Method studio, and Michael Lowery and Katelin Chesna, both long-time Bar Method teachers in Los Angeles. This DVD will inspire you to get serious about changing your body.
Excellent, advanced workout. Pacing was great, with no long set-ups (a problem for some other Bar Method workouts). Instructor was very pleasant and gave very helpful instruction. Camera work was good, so I felt I could see exactly what position to be in. I am a big fan of Physique 57 (both dvds and live) and was a bit concerned about the reputed slow pace of Bar Method workouts, but this one surpassed my expectations. It was hands-down the toughest barre workout dvd I've done and I am definitely feeling some good DOMS.
