BENEFITS

• CORE WORK - Like yoga poses and Pilates exercises, barre workouts target and strengthen your core. Not only can core exercises improve your strength and stability, they can also work wonders for your posture.

• INCREASE FLEXIBILITY - We all occasionally skip stretching before or after a workout when we’re short on time. If you can barely touch your toes right now, that may sound intimidating — but you don’t need to be flexible to enjoy a barre workout. And if you stick to a regular schedule, you’ll see improvements quickly. 

• STRENGTHENING - There are two basic types of muscle fiber — the fast-twitch muscle fibers that help you power through a set of sumo squats or box jumps, and the slow-twitch fibers used in endurance activities. Barre targets the latter — and that can be surprisingly challenging, even for serious fitness buffs. (That wobbly leg feeling is where the barre mantra “embrace the shake” comes from.)

• WEIGHT LOSS - If your goal is to work out for weight loss, it’s important to push yourself past your comfort zone — and a barre workout can definitely do that. It can also help you burn more calories in the long run. “In addition to burning a ton of calories, barre also builds lean muscle, which can help increase your resting metabolic rate, which can assist with weight loss.
