    New to Barre - Odd questions inside

    I got the Fluidity w/os with the Barre but, I don't do them. For some reason I like Bar Method best. Burr gives excellent pointers and I just seem to enjoy her DVDs. There is a flat back ab exercise in the Fluidity intermediate and advanced tapes that are very difficult for me. I guess I am...

    New to Barre - Odd questions inside

    I forgot to tell you that I got mine used through craigslist for $100.00. It was one of my best fitness purchases ever. Also, I got the old Bar Method and Lotte Berk DVDs through the library. I initially used a chair (3 weeks) but once I was hooked, I purchased the Fluidity Bar.

    New Chalean Workouts, Turbo Kick

    I love TurboKick and have been doing the "rounds" since round 9. I think it has been 9 or 10 years ago. The instructor rounds are much better than TurboJam. I tried the TurboJam workouts and was very disappointed. The music and choreography are not as good as taking a live TurboKick class or...

    Teachers Help. 2nd grade is killing me

    I can relate! I had the same experience with the Catholic Schools! My son would have 2 hours of schoolwork from 2nd grade to 4th grade. I too thought, "What are they doing at school"? I felt like I was doing the teaching! It didn't seem right that his public school friends did not have the...
