Add me to the group that has tons of Barlates DVDs and have gone through many but certainly not all of them. Like
Jane I prefer DVDs because I play my own music over the workouts. And Linda puts out so much content, that I like to support her.
I've been doing more Cathe style traditional strength than barre/fusion workouts lately, but one day a week I still do barre and tend to rotate between Barlates and Pure Barre.
There are a few I really enjoy that I return to. I like these for their more total body feel (or to mix and match for total body):
-Pilates Ring Series (I think this may be my favorite Barlates DVD)
-Traditional Barre Series (mix and match)
-Traditional Mat Series (mix and match)
-Precision and Overload Training DVDs
-Double/Triple burn series
-Mix and Match series
-Cardio Sculpt Fusion 3-DVD set when I was doing more Dream Body style
-Interval Barre Fusions (mix and match)
-Target 10/15 I don't have the DVDs but I've mixed and matched them on youtube
-Mat Barre Series
-5 Best Exercises (mix and match or add on)
Some I haven't returned to...but still keeping just in case I may want to try them again someday :
-Barre Basics, Intermediate, and Advanced. They were great workouts but too long to try to make them work in a rotation.
-Clever Yoga Fusion. I really liked one workout but can't seem to pull it out regularly
-Yoga Barere Fusion. I really liked two workouts I did, they were tough, but can't seem to pull out regularly.
-Rebounder series. I have done several workouts and liked them but can't seem to pull them out regularly
-Tone, Chisel, and Sculpt 3-DVD set. These are Tonique style and I liked the idea of shorter workouts, but these are very basic/easy.
-Endurance workouts (100,110, 120 etc) I haven't been doing much Tonique style lately and usually when I do, I tend to choose a Tonique workout. But still, these are great workouts.
-Bosu Body Blast. This one was just kind of a dud for me.
-Step Barre Fusion. Another dud for me.
-Belly/Booty/Upper Body Burn workouts. I liked these but I liked the Mix and Match better.
-Double Loop series. Too long/too hard on each body part
-Shape It series. On the easier side.
-Mat Interval series. These are shorter to add on or mix and match but don't like them as much as the shorter ones above.
For as many as I've purchased, there's just as many I haven't purchased because they don't appeal to me. I definitely enjoy Linda and think she has a real talent for focused muscle burnout, and enjoy her pleasant personality (and the Mini cameos
). I would definitely purchase more of her workouts if they appealed to me. I always know I will get a tough workout with Linda whereas I often have to modify up (add ankle weights, loop band, ball, or pilates circle) when I do many other barre workouts. They aren't that expensive and again I like to support her.
