Product Description
The Pure Barre Technique (PBT) is the fastest, yet safest way to change your body. PBT fuses dance, Pilates and Lotte Berk exercises while utilizing the ballet barre to create the most intense and effective 55-minute workout that exists. The results of PBT are: flat abs, thin thighs, a lifted seat, toned arms and sculpted backs. PBT is an intelligent exercise technique - each strengthening section of the workout is followed by a stretching section in order to create strong, long, lean muscle without the bulk, while increasing range of motion. PBT will not only quickly transform your body, it will clear your mind, help you focus and contribute to a happy and healthy life. All you have to do is this DVD 3 times per week and your body will change - it is that simple

 amateur production but a great instructor November 18, 2008
It is a shame that the talented instructor made such a poorly put together DVD. It runs straight through probably shot with a fixed camera. The music is not only bad it is annoying and it would help if it were not there at all. The DVD does not even allow you to advance or go back to review which is important in an instructional film. The title is also misleading as much of this is not done with a barre. Cannot possibly recommend this DVD but I would recommmend the instructor if she is on more professional DVDs.
 If you're familiar with Barre workouts, it's not that bad November 10, 2008

I have the Bar Method DVDs, Lotte Berk, the original Lotte Berk book, Callanetics, etc. and even though the music is too boom boom for me, I have come to appreciate this workout. It is tough! I still cannot finish the leg section without taking rests. I am good and sore (sometimes really sore!) after doing it, and I like it that the instructor is a curvy girl, not a twig. :-) I feel as though I'll be able to use this one for a long time before I've mastered it. Just my two cents.
Pure Barre is pure bliss! October 24, 2008
Pure bare is an incarnation of the lotte berk method, bar method, burr leonard method, fluidity, and cardio barre. I like it because it actually is a long enough session to work all your muscles- if trying to lose weight, I suggest also doing some cardio- although I have seen incredible results only using this video + 20mins of elliptical for only 3 times a week. I am definitely a believer- but this dvd is not for workout wimps. In addition, there is some feedback with the microphone and the background music (it sounds like someone is tapping on the microphone), but it's only for a couple seconds, and completely negligible. I will probably use this dvd to tone my body for the rest of my life.

I know the production on this workout is somewhat lacking, but the workout itself more than makes up for it. This is by far the most advanced Lotte Berk workout on the market today. Pure Barre will make your lower body burn like crazy. I love Squeeze as well, but Pure Barre is definitely more advanced which is what I was looking for. If this doesn't give you a long, lean body I don't know what will. Definitely a five star workout.
A superbly produced exercise DVD instructional September 6, 2008

"Pure Barre" is an instructional DVD showcasing a specific series of exercises drawing upon ballet, pilates, and the Lotte Berk Method to assist viewers in developing and maintaining a superb physique. This series of exercises are the creations of dancer/choreographer/fitness guru Carrie Resabek whose Pure Barre Technique is ideal for both the home and the gym. Before beginning this unique system of exercises, viewers will need two sets of weights (one heavier set and one lighter set), a mat, a small towel or sock, and a sturdy support to hold onto such as a counter-top or a chair. "Pure Barre" begins with a light warm-up and arm work using light hand weights to increase the heart rate and tone the upper body. Then targeted and user friendly exercises are provided for the legs, sea and abs. Stretches throughout the workout help create dancer-quality slim, lean and flexible muscles. A superbly produced exercise DVD instructional, "Pure Barre" is a highly recommended addition to personal, professional, and community library Health & Exercise DVD collections and routines.
