Might be a dumb question. But can you actually define your legs with bands stability ball work? I do heavy legs but on my light workout days I like floorwork.
Thank you

Gosh, I think so or Cathe wouldn't include them in her workouts if they weren't effective toners. And all those people who primarily do barre and/or pilates have great-looking legs. I think strength might be compromised without training with weights, so I'd still include that at least once a week.

Thank you! Love that answer!

I love Boss Loops Glutes and Core and didn't realize how much burn those loops can provide. Sometimes in my rotations, I'll do two leg workouts in a week, but one will be solid weights and the other will have a cardio or HIIT cardio aspect. Like last week, I did Cardio Leg Blast and Perfect Pump Lower in the same week.
In 2019, I got hooked on Pure Barre DVD's and its amazing how much burn you can get just from bodyweight and those pulsing moves.

Yes I love barre and the boss bands! I can really focus on the muscle when I'm doing floor and barre work. My onry brother said you can only get definition if you do heavy weight work ( which i do). I didn't agree but thought I would just check with my buddies on Cathe

Could not agree more to highlighted above.
There is no harm in hitting muscles differently by adding in high reps to confuse muscles.
My favourite move with both tubing/resistance band and weight is one or double arm row as illustrated below.
Cathe does one arm in her series.
My suggestion(,hope cathe reads this
) is a weight/tubing--- resistance band workout.a total and/or upper body one. I love the feeling of the pump combining both.

Maybe put this request in Cathe's "Suggestions for new workouts" forum section. I'd second it! I love the band work in STS2.0!...My suggestion(,hope cathe reads this

ETA - Whoops ... I see you already did!

Another way to work legs is to combine plyo with HEAVY. It's not everyone cup of tea but it rips legs into shape 
. At least for me it does.

nckfitheart2009 I haven't done that one in a while! I love it!
I also like the STS Plyo Legs. They are similar with weights and breathy cardio!

Other "breathy" lower body workouts where you alternate cardio with weight work are: Xtrain Cardio Leg Blast, ICE Chiseled Lower Body, & Lower Body Blast. With these 3 and the RWH Legs & the 4 STS Plyo Legs you can get a 2-month Contrast LB rotation. Cathe's Rock Bottoms rotations often include one of these workouts along with another LB workout each week - I think she has 3 or four iterations of the Rock Bottoms rotations.

I love contrast training. Yes all these above are relevant for burning fat to build muscles.
