This 30-minute barre blend workout combine traditional barre exercises like pulsing pliès, lunges and chair squats with higher intensity exercises. Similar to cardio barre classes.
I love to combine the strengthening and lengthening movements barre is known for with dynamic, full body exercises and cardio bursts for a workout that truly does it all!

I’ll guide you through this barre-less workout as we move from tiny, pulsing pliès to squat jacks. You have the option to keep it low impact or add some high intensity jumps if your fitness level allows.
Variations for all fitness levels are provided in the workout video.
You can always sub soup cans or water bottles as dumbbells; or complete this workout with your bodyweight.
