Elevated Barre Boot Camp

This has some creative, fun moves and does a good job fatiguing the legs. I guess when I see bootcamp in the title I am hoping to have a little cardio effect, especially for as long as it was. Next time I will shorten this an add a little cardio. Still a good barre program, just lacking in the bootcamp.

I agree - I think the Bootcamp title is a misnomer. I think it will work for a rather nice Barre LB workout just by skipping the few band work exercises for the arms and the last couple of UB weighted exercises. Then it becomes kind of like a LIS Turbo Tower LB premix and FitTower's Legs & Glutes workout. That's how I intend to primarily use it and it provides for a nice option for a lower body barre workout with a few weights thrown in. I like it.
 
I did this one today. Here below are my thoughts:

  • Is the workout a bootcamp? No IMHO. It did not feel a bootcamp to me. Not a deal breaker though.
  • Does the workout focus on endurance? Yes. concentric, eccentric/negative, isometric moves are offered.
  • Does the workout meet the purpose of the series? Yes, at some point combination moves were more challenging because they combined isometrics moves, pulses, stability, flexibility and coordination. several fitness component challenged at the same time. Balance was also challenged.
  • Will I use this workout again, yes during a 1 week or 2 weeks barre rotation.
  • What do I specifically like? The warm up, band portion and the focus on tiny muscles.
