Suzanne Bowen BarreAmped Cardio Fat Burn - Thoughts

The third workout in Suzanne Bowen's BarreAmped series is BarreAmped Cardio Fat Burn.  This workout mixes tabata style drills with barre work for a cardio barre interval workout.
There is a beginner modifier and and advance modifier. Suzanne is normally performing the intermediate level.If you follow Suzanne or the advance modifier, you will be performing higher impact and higher intensity style moves as they do quite a bit of jumping.  The ladies also work at a different pace from each other.  Suzanne calls it a freestyle workout.

Cardio Core
Cool down Stretch

Extreme Cardio Fat Burn is your interval tabata workout. It clocks in at 26 minutes. You are doing moves like skiers, plie jacks, mount climbers and hops.  You are doing these moves for several sets before you move on to the next grouping of exercises. In between the sets, Suzanne gives you a 10 seconds rest.

Cardio Sculpt is closer to your traditional standing barre workout. However, there is a cardio factor as quite a few of the moves use a wide range of motion on some of the exercises.  This workout uses a pair of dumbbells and clocks in at 17 minutes.

Cardio Core is a 360 degree 17 minute core workout. This workout includes the use of a chair and mat. Suzanne starts with standing waist work, moves on to mat plank work and she ends the workout with focus exercises for the abs and low back.

Cool Down Stretch is a 12 minute total body workout.   It also uses a chair and a mat.  Suzanne is the only cast member in this segment. I like doing these stretch workouts after my treadmill runs.
