#777This is the introductory Bar Method program; it's designed to teach the basic techniques as it re-shapes your body. The Bar Method blends intensified 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, challenging 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. Throughout, 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). ©2008
Level: Inter/Advan

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 reshapes your entire body. Its unique non-impact exercises target all major muscle groups and improve posture. The result is a recognizable ‘Bar Method’ body featuring long, lean thighs, sculpted arms, a lifted seat and flat abs.
The Bar Method: Change Your Body! Burr guides you through a 54-minute total body workout that targets the key muscles involved in body reshaping. The workout includes free-weight exercises and push-ups to sculpt your arms, leg exercises and stretches performed at a portable bar or high-backed chair to sculpt and slim down your legs and hips (including the Bar Method’s famous bun-lifting ‘pretzel’), core work done on a mat, and a relaxing series of final stretches. Burr’s fellow performers, Catherine Wendel, Jen Hedrick and Jane Culliford are teachers and owners of Bar Method studios respectively in Chicago, New Jersey and New York.
Burr Leonard is the founder of the Bar Method. She has been doing these exercises since 1981 and teaching since 1991. She has worked for many years to develop The Bar Method into an exercise system that is extraordinarily effective as well as safe. She now oversees the opening of Bar Method studios around the country and plans to make more Bar Method dvds in the future.

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). ©2008.

The Bar Method: Accelerated Workout picks up the pace of the Bar Method class to maximize caloric burn both during and following this total body 56-minute workout. The class starts with a warm-up that includes free-weight exercises and push-ups and proceeds to challenge you with series of bar exercises guaranteed to give your upper legs and buns a long, lean, lifted, trimmed-down look. The second part of the class includes core sculpting, the Bar Method’s sexy ‘back-dancing’ exercise, and a peaceful series of final stretches. Burr’s fellow performers, Catherine Wendel, Jen Hedrick and Jane Culliford are teacher/owners of Bar Method studios respectively in Chicago, New Jersey and New York.
