Anonymous wrote:Can someone explain barre to me? I have very little awareness of my body in space and no ability to follow auditory physical directions. Things like aerobics have been a disaster. I can do yoga because of the slower speed of instruction. I need time to see a visual example of the instructor trying the move, then do it myself, so it can’t be too fast-paced. But I have no flexibility and am shaped like an apple and want to do something about it. I’ve tried jogging and personal training and yoga. Can’t afford the personal training anymore. I’d like to try something new that won’t stress me out mentally—basically, I have no proprioception/body sense. I hate cycling and swimming. Can someone recommend some activities I might like that I could both do and also see some results that are different from jogging? Thanks!

OP here. Thanks for all the info. Unfortunately, this routine has gotten me into trouble. I am one of those people who build legs and do nothing to my bum. I need a new approach.
Wrong form? Squats and deadlifts will develop glutes and thighs. You can’t have a bubble butt with thin thighs unless you are a kardashian (plastic surgery).
+1000 on bridge exercises. I agree with Pilates and barre but for me these were too expensive with slow improvement until I tried Mary Helen Bowers workout DVDs. She is a prima ballerina turned Victoria’s Secret Model workout instructor.
It’s available on Amazon. It’s cheap. Try it for 2 weeks. But don’t forget proper form.
The instructor looks like a child. Her outfits are inappropriate. Yuck and I say that as someone who is also thin.
Does she wear something different in the videos than on the covers? She looks fine to me on the covers and in all the photos I’ve ever seen. What makes her clothes inappropriate?

What kind of workouts are you doing? Speed? Max incline? Duration of workout? Times a week? So interested!
