Lotte Berk Method for long and lean

I was just reading about a couple barre-fitness classes offered in Chicago. Using the barre (handrail), these low-impact classes integrate small exercises demanding perfect form to the point of muscle fatigue -- resulting in a lean, carved look.

Turns out these classes are based on the Lotte Berk Method (LBM), an isometric training system combining pilates, yoga, barre work and core conditioning. It started in London about 50 years ago by a famous German dancer. LBM is taught exclusively in Manhattan, the Hamptons and Beverly Hills studios, but you can purchase a four-disc DVD pack of 30-minute Lotte videos to develop long and lean muscles at home:

  • Basic Essentials gets you familiarized and trained on the basic LBM movements.
  • Hip Hugger Abs will help you slip on those low-rider jeans through careful abdominal work.
  • Muscle Eats Fat builds long, lean muscles to boost your passive calorie-burn.
  • High Round Assets breaks the Hanging Bottom spell of aging women. Focused exercises pull up your seat.
If you're into pilates and yoga, give these DVDs a try. Four-pack costs $29.95.
