Fluidity Bar workouts

[aseay]

can anyone describe what's involved in a fb workout? i have been working hard on balance and coordination most of my life. it has gotten so much better with other workouts and dancing so i wonder if this fb will also help.
is it worth getting if i already have p90x and cathe for upper body and legs plus dancing?

Laura,

I patiently awaiting the arrival of my Fluidity Bar. I ordered it to help firm up and strengthen my back thighs. I have a hard time keeping good form during lunges and squats. My knees end up paying for trying to keep up. I'm hoping this will help me for when I need to do them quickly. Also, my quads are starting to look over-developed because of my haphazard form. If you do a search here, you should find some posts on it.

Laura,
I just received my Fluidity Bar on Wednesday and have used it twice now. I am probably the last person anyone would expect to own a ballet bar! That being said, I like it so far...It works your muscles in a different way, but I don't see this REPLACING P90 or Cathe by any means. From what I have seen of it so far, it doesn't take much coordination and it's not so much balance since you have the bar to hang onto to. My initial impression is that it works muscle endurance - first, you build up a burn and then you stretch & elongate. Hard to say whether or not it would be worth it for you.

I own the bar and the workouts, and I like how different it is. The instructor is pretty cool, precise and encouraging without being too chirpy if you know what I mean.
I got it for my lower body mainly, it is more like isometric, muscle endurance exercises. It is hard to explain all the exercises, but I like the stretches after each exercise. The Barre Method DVD has some of the same exercises on it, without the bar, you might want to check that tape out before commiting to buying the whole Fluidity deal.
