Not easier or harder, just different. No barbell at all and the floor work is about the same intensity as PS only different. As you know in PS Cathe uses a 15# body bar for the floor work. In L&G she uses a 2# ankle weight, but you really feel it. There are lots of unweighted moves too in L&G that really get the legs burning. I think L&G is a nice compliment to some of Cathe's heavier lowerbody workouts. I really like it.
