Sorry, this comment popped up while...Hey Brittany! Sorry, this comment popped up while I was in Houston sans laptop and I forgot about it till now. I think you could do Tracey's barre video it on a high floor of an apartment building. It's been a few weeks since I've done it, but I can't think of a single time you jumped or left the floor- there's some dance type cardio moves, but it's more moving arms and hips while your legs are still or maybe taking a step or two forward and back- there aren't any jumping jacks or ballet jacks or anything that would have you put hard weight down on the floor. I know in barre class we sometimes do lunges while holding on to the barre, but the whole idea to keep control on your body so you don't come down hard on your joints, so if there is any of that in Tracey's video (I can't remember specifically), I'd say just go really slow and try to come down as light as possible. It's harder that way anyway :). Good luck!LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431706155081017734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-77068852650856523432014-01-31T13:11:32.783-06:002014-01-31T13:11:32.783-06:00I really love Ellen Barrett's Slim! Beach Body...I really love Ellen Barrett's Slim! Beach Body Fast (or Bikini Ready Fast) something like that, and I also enjoyed her Crunch pilates spot video. It has three sections of 10 minutes each, with a different area focused on each. It's pretty easy as far as pilates go, but can be really helpful when you don't want to work out hard or are just getting into shape. <br /><br />With the Tracy video that you said has some more unusual moves and isn't completely barre--would you say you could do it living on a high floor of an apartment video? I used to do Jillian videos when I lived on the first floor, but now I live on the fourth floor of a creaky old building and don't want to do anything that might bother my neighbors. As an example, I don't even do lunges because I think I might come down too hard too repeatedly. So, with that in mind, do you think it's doable or not in my apartment? Thanks :)Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16130254394645494717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-20943600034498747892014-01-29T15:07:53.149-06:002014-01-29T15:07:53.149-06:00I also love, love, love barre classes, but as a FT...I also love, love, love barre classes, but as a FT working lawyer mommy of two, don't have time to go as often as I like (familiar, eh?), so I live by DVDs. In particaulr, I LOVE Ellen Barrett's DVDs. She primarily does yoga/pilates based stuff, and in particular her DVD "Fat Burning Fusion" which is sort of like a barre class, but without the bar. Sort of standing pilates/cardio. Also, have you looked at the website collagevideo.com? Its a great resource for checking out workout DVDs - has reviews and great breakdowns of equipment/time/fitness level for each DVD.ppphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01737586411996794719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-16016293702743735112014-01-27T13:15:24.479-06:002014-01-27T13:15:24.479-06:00I also feel ridiculous if my husband can see me wo...I also feel ridiculous if my husband can see me working out if I choose to at home, I just feel like a giant moron or at least I look like one. :)The Flynniganshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13938230221615097086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-51485185679897207932014-01-26T22:17:13.654-06:002014-01-26T22:17:13.654-06:00I'm a member of a website called FitnessGlo ($...I'm a member of a website called FitnessGlo ($12/month; there's a sister website YogaGlo that I'm not a member of) that has a variety of videos, all from a core group of about eight instructors. They have barre videos too. I like it -- the instructors are good (I have a few favorites) and they're always adding new videos but don't restrict access to the old ones.CMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01559451322234777335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-64104284032136538322014-01-25T00:48:08.851-06:002014-01-25T00:48:08.851-06:00have you tried free workout videos on amazon prime...have you tried free workout videos on amazon prime? i used to do that. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dinstant-video&field-keywords=workoutAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
