Six reasons to try Barre

Reading Time: 2 min.

If you want to close the year in the best way or dedicate 2023 to achieving an impact body, Barre, pronounced Bar, is a workout inspired by the ballet barre used by dancers to train and improve their stability. This type of training combines movements inspired by ballet, pilates, and functional physical training exercises to help you lengthen and strengthen your body and provide extraordinary results for your body and mind from the first session. These are the five reasons to try this type of training.

Move the whole body

The combination of exercises in a Barre class comprises each workout, including aerobics, pilates, yoga, ballet, stretching, and strength exercises, either with equipment or using your weight.

Improves balance and coordination

Thanks to the isometric exercises incorporated into each workout, muscle strength constantly increases by maintaining stability in different positions to improve balance and coordination. In each movement, the abdominal muscles get contracted, which helps to increase their strength gradually. A strong core can help improve posture and maintain body stability as you age.

Accelerate your metabolism

By working on large muscle groups of the body in each session, calorie burning increases; by combining Barre training with strength exercises and weight lifting, it is possible to achieve leaner muscles and accelerate metabolism.

More flexible than ever

As you take care of your posture in each stretching exercise of Barre training, your posture and flexibility improve on each workout.

Reduces stress

Each Barre exercise requires absolute concentration and attention from head to toe to avoid losing balance and maintain strength in the center. By focusing on each movement, you accomplish a feeling of calm and victory that helps lower cortisol levels and reduce stress. Increased pressure, sweat, and raised temperature are the body’s regular responses to stress and anxiety. During exercise, the mind programs to respond the same but transform it into a pleasurable experience. Over time, a Barré class can be the perfect way to reduce anxiety and help keep you calm in the most stressful situations.
