Ballet Body: Lower Body Extreme Elongation |
 Awesome |
| workout for the lower body! Thorough stretching at the end. This really works the hips in ways I've never gotten from Physique 57 or the harder Bar Method (Super Sculpting 1 and 2, or Dancer's Body). It is not fast paced; however it's so hard that I'm breathing hard and sweating while doing it. Worth getting for sure. - posted by Julia on 5/7/2013 |

| What an Awesome Workout |
| This is a really different great video. I've done Cathe Freidrich's ballet barre workout and was looking for another ballet workout. I am an advanced exerciser and I found this workout to be challenging. I was sore afterwards! Leah's cueing is very clear and it is motivational to be following an instructor who is so fit. I love the femininity of the ballet moves. The set is very tranquil and peaceful. Yet my muscles were screaming! It was fun....I'm going to buy her other workouts too! - posted by Cara on 3/25/2013 |

| My new favorite barre DVD!!! |
| I love this DVD! I really felt the burn but it didn't hurt my knees. I am an advanced exerciser and was looking for something to challenge me and this really did that for me. I worked up a sweat and was shaking! Some barre dvd's can be challenging but not throughout the whole program. I find that there are times when they can be easy and I am wasting my time. This DVD did not waste my time and I would recommend this to anyone who wants an advanced workout and still be challenged. I loved every minute that my legs were shaking. Leah needs to make more dvd's for advanced exercisers. - posted by Angelina on 3/13/2013 |

| Wow!!!!!! |
| I do most all barre workouts and it takes a lot for me to be sore the next day, this workout is beyond challenging (in a good way) she does moves I have never done in any Barre class, I can't wait to see the results after a few months. I highly recommend this workout!!! - posted by Tammy on 1/24/2013 |

| Never have gotten results like these before |
| I've been working out for over 25 years and even taught aerobics way back when they wore leg warmers, and worked as a personal trainer for awhile a few years ago. I have also gone for years at a time NOT working out. The last year was one of them due to tremendous personal stress and divorce. Getting back in the saddle, I started doing barre workouts for the first time. How did I never hear of this stuff before? Its like a miracle workout! I have never gotten results like I have from these workouts and I only am doing 30 min, 3 times a week! This one I did the first time 2 days ago and did only parts as I'm experimenting with keeping workouts under 30 min, and it was still really effective. In two barre workouts, a pair of pants that I couldn't button previously buttoned right up and after three workouts they were even a little LOOSE this morning! Barre workouts are challenging, but that's why they are so effective. I call them "the miracle workout." Do yourself a favor and don't wait as long as I did to try them! Leah is really prolific (check out her website) and creative as an instructor also. Plus, just look at her body. Guess she knows what she's doing! - posted by Theresa on 1/18/2013 |

| Um, Ouch! |
| Yep, this is a keeper. The moves look easy...until you do them! Leah really puts a twist on the typical barre moves. I had been craving a truly advanced barre workout since many of mine started to become easy. I really wanted a tougher leg focused DVD and this is it! She keeps layering and layering AND layering on the moves until your legs just can't take it anymore. Then, when you think it's over, she brings on the bridge work! I can't wait to see the results from doing this DVD. My only complaint is that some of the barre moves are probably best done with a barre, Fluidity, whatever since it requires some leaning. A chair just can't provide the support. But, this is easily forgivable. - posted by Shoshanna on 1/14/2013 |

| Another keeper |
| As I get older, I realize I need to modify my workouts a bit to accommodate my aging body, and add a little interest. I tried a ballet-style workout that was available on cable out of sheer boredom, and was totally surprised when I was sore for the next three days. I immediately ordered three ballet-style workouts from Collage, of which this was one. I'm in my fifties and have been working out religiously since I was 18, so this is a nice change-up. Challenging, but not so much that an experienced exerciser cannot complete it. - posted by Deb on 12/28/2012 |

| Love this workout |
| I recently enrolled in a ballet class and now am craving all things ballet. This workout is great. It is tough and ballet inspired and if you stick to it you will see results quickly. I have been working out for 30 years and nothing has shaped my lower body as quickly and effectively as this and other ballet workouts. I also do Cathe and Tracy Anderson and can't believe I actually get sore when I do this. I would suggest anyone with lower body issues get this video.! - posted by Sharon on 11/25/2012 |

| Warning: No squats or lunges :) |
| Great lower body workout and not a squat or lunge to be seen! I'm constantly amazed that exercise professionals continue to rely on the squat and lunge for lower body toning. They're fine if you want bulky leg muscles. A ballerina would die at the thought of bulking up the top of the upper thigh. Leah tones using long and lean exercises. Similar but better variety to Squeeze and Bar Method. You should be conscious of form and follow her excellent cuing. The set is tasteful, the music is helpful (strong beat). - posted by kate on 10/26/2012 |
