After reading that Turbo Barre 2 is being considered but not yet filmed or worked on, I have some suggestions I would like to throw out there. This is also why I choose to put this comment here instead of the Workout Suggestion thread simply bc it's already something Cathe is looking into. My Suggestions are as follows:

Premixes galore!!!

1. TB 1 could have easily had more premixes, easily. I would like to suggest that more options be made for shorter express workouts (shorter than the 50-something minutes).

2. Also there was no upper or lower body splits or UB/LB Split EXPRESS options; both could have been useful. I think about STS TB and Tri-Sets how those premixes are really useful for add-on workouts and for those of us short on time. It's perfect for tight schedules, Holidays, and summers when your on the go, go, go!

It would be nice to not have to fast forward throughout the workout to pick and choose and no, I'm not a download lover so I can't create my own via downloads.

3. A different type of premix- band only work. I know that with any Cathe strength workout that uses the firewalkers and/or flat bands, there could be a Band Only Premix that not only is very "express" but it allows us the option to workout with minimal equipment for maximum workout. But having the upper and lower band-only exercises on one premix would have been fantastic! I love using the bands, especially Firewalkers, and would love to do a Cathe workout that is band focused, even if it is only a premix. Can we request a Travel Fit 2??

If a Band-only premix is only 10-15 minutes long (for any new stength workout released) and it doesn't seem economical to include it, then a "Band-Only + Core" Premix could be made for the ultimate total body workout completed in record time!

Just some ideas to consider since this workout seems so popular with us all that a part 2 is being considered. TB is a great workout, I just wish it was a little more user-friendly for use with shorter attention spans and/or tighter schedules. I'm ok with longer workouts as long as they have a ton of premixes for my "shorter" workout loving self.

Thank you

i would love a Turbo Barre 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6!!! i'd never done barre before TB and since then i've acquired i think all the barre workouts out there, but none compares to TB. Cathe, you're the best and i need barre, so it's incumbent on you to give us more TBs!

I don't often post but I totally agree. TB is my favorite! (of low impact) Time just flies by and I love the techno music. I feel graceful, strong and empowered in this workout. Thank you Cathe!
