A no equipment, 30-Minute Barre Workout you can do at home! This full body cardio barre workout combines traditional barre exercises with high intensity cardio to tone, strengthen and raise your heart rate.
If you’ve tried one of my barre workouts, you know — there’s no burn like a barre burn!
Barre workouts are some of my most popular workouts on YouTube. In fact, Self recently named this 30-Minute Barre Blend Workout among the top three best barre workouts on YouTube!
It’s common people first try one of our barre workouts on an active rest day (because they think barre workouts are too easy, or not challenging enough). But if you’ve done some of mine, you know I like to incorporate compound movements and cardio bursts.
There’s always a way to modify or make barre exercises more challenging. I recommend barre to beginners, runners, pregnancy and postpartum, and strength and HIIT athletes.
Barre is a hybrid workout that combines ballet, pilates, yoga and strength training. It has an emphasis on building core strength and long, lean muscles throughout the body. My barre classes are a little different than Pure Barre or Physique 57. I like a high energy, athletic barre workout.
Yes, but they serve a different purpose than strength training workouts or cardio workouts. Barre may seem less intense than a full body strength training or HIIT session. But the tiny, pulsing barre exercises work your body in a different way. Barre fitness specifically focus on: improving core strength, building strength in the stabilizing muscles, and increasing flexibility, balance and posture.
Barre workouts have many benefits! These workouts increase total body strength by building small, stabilizing muscles in the shoulders, glutes and hips to prevent injury. Barre increases balance, flexibility, posture and range of motion. These workouts require constant core engagement so I recommend adding them to your pregnancy or postpartum workout plan. It’s also good to mix up your fitness routine to avoid fitness and weight loss plateaus.
