Do you easily get sold to an infomercial on TV that sells some weight loss program or fitness equipment? With all the stuff you see in these infomercials, we can’t help but be skeptical and have misgivings about these advertised products. However, there are some which do work and are founded on sound fitness principles, such as fluidity; and the product I saw on TV, The Fluidity Exercise Bar. Let us take a closer look at the fluidity bar and fluidity.

What is the Fluidity Exercise Bar?
The Fluidity Exercise Bar is a piece of fitness equipment that allows the user to successfully perform fluidity exercises using the bar; it gives you the total body work out. It is a floor-standing ballet bar with a mat.

Fluidity integrates all the body’s more than 630 muscles and this integration works out as a natural way of molding, sculpting you body into the shape you want it to be.

The manufacturer claims that use of the fluidity bar will give you the long, lean look of a dancer’s body.

How Do Fluidity Exercises Work?
You might ask, “does the fluidity bar work“? Well… to understand how the bar works, you have to understand how fluidity works. Fluidity exercises engage your body in the way nature intended. When you stand up and use your own body weight as resistance, you are then engaging your body muscles to work together. This is one of most natural fitness methods I have seen so far.

While other training programs such as strength training and pilates focus on specific areas or muscles of the body, fluidity allows you to work all muscles simultaneously, hence avoiding a disproportion that results from other programs. Fluidity is holistic.

It is not strenuous exercise, but focused muscle stretching and toning that requires concentration and patience. This should also not be mistaken as a weight loss solution, but of physical toning that also gives you a good cardiovascular workout.

Fluidity Bar Complaints
There have been reported complaints about the fluidity bar, however I have found them to be matters that are not related to the principle that makes fluidity exercises successful. You can view fluidity bar complaints by clicking that link.

Conclusion
Before anything else, let me say for the record that I have not personally tried the fluidity bar. I instead used another alternative to the bar, which I put together. I wanted to test the principle first, as the fluidity bar retails at a pricey $200 or so. I am happy to say that the exercises are indeed fun and reminds me a bit of pilates, except that you are not on the floor; and are going to be a refreshing new workout for those who are used to strenuous exertion that is characteristic of most fitness exercises.

    Hi,

    I’m interested in the fluidity bar myself but am leery about spending the money. What alternative did you use? I can’t have a ballet barre fastened to my wall. It has to be free-standing but I can’t, for the life of me, figure out how to make one. Any suggestions?

    Thanks
    Selena

  2. SG Says:

    Oh, one more thing. Where can I get the exercises or DVD?

  3. Roy Says:

    Hello SG….

    I put together something that looks like this ballet bar. .Single Ballet Bar - Bracket Only

  4. Roy Says:

    But there are some fluidity exercises that need for you to pull on the bar and if it is not secured somehow like latched to the wall or something, you could fall.

    You can also check out this exercise DVD. The Bar Method Body - Designer Sculpting

    You can also visit http://www.fluidity.com for more fluidity exercises and for the fluidity exercise bar.

    Thanks for the info. Believe it or not, I already have the Bar Method and Lotte Berk series and am really enjoying it (mostly the BM - Designer Sculpting workout). I do them with a chair however I like the idea of being able to work my back (supine pull ups etc.) and am curious about the differences in the workouts. I hear they are brutally hard compared to Berk and Bar Methods.

    That’s a great looking barre! From what I’ve read, sandbags at the base will keep it from falling over.

    If you don’t mind me asking, how did you make that bar? Was it really difficult. My husband is trying to figure out a way to make one for me and right now, we’re completely baffled!

    Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I really appreciate that!

    All the best to you…
