Meet me at the Barre? 11 reasons to try a Barre workout!
- Hard on the muscles, easy on the joints. Barre exercises incorporate tiny, controlled movements that limit the pressure on your joints, tendons, ligaments and spine but give your muscles an amazingly intense workout.
- Improve your posture. Barre exercises are all done with an emphasis on posture and core. You will notice a huge difference in your posture and strength which will protect you from injury! PLUS it gives you great definition in your arms.
- Great for building muscle mass. Who doesn’t need more muscle? Not only do we need muscle bulk to prevent injury, it is key in the prevention of osteoporosis, maintaining bone mass, reducing risk of fractures, improves balance and posture.
- No experience required. The good thing is that you don’t have to be ballerina, or in fact ANY dance experience. It’s a workout for everybody, men and women!
- Works your whole body. Not only is this a GREAT CORE WORKOUT, (there is an element of core and posture in every move) a barre workout targets the whole body, including all of those “problem areas” that women have….
- Work muscles to failure. The small, almost isometric moves are designed to fatigue muscles to failure. The more you focus on the small movement, the harder it is, and each exercise is done until you are shaking! You will definitely feel it the next day.
- Modifications for every age and level. Make it as hard or as easy as you want. Exercises can always be modified whether you’re a beginner, pregnant, arthritis or have an injury, you name it! The workouts can also be amplified if you’re advanced and looking for more of a challenge.
- Increased flexibility. A tight muscle is often a weak one…Barre exercises target all of our muscle groups and work them so that they are strong in any position which leads to an increase range of motion.
- Barre is never boring. This is a fast pace class with and endless variety of exercises, upbeat music, and inspiring instructors. It’s never the same class twice!
- Lose weight and inches. Because you are building muscle mass with this class, your body’s metabolic rate increases, which requires more energy and thus you can burn calories more efficiently.
- Rapid results. You will see major results in little time, if you commit to 3 classes per week.
