I'm a little biased, but I think doing a barre workout is one of the best ways you can spend 45 minutes.
This low-impact, beginner-friendly exercise works your entire body and puts your endurance to the test—all while set to a beat.
Maybe you're familiar with barre's big sister, pilates? Barre borrows many core exercises from the modality, but adds to it with full-body movements and incorporating light weights.
It's also more beat/count-driven (hello, fun music) compared to pilates, which revolves around the breath and slow, controlled movement.
Benefits Of Barre Workouts:
There are many perks that come with adding in barre classes to supplement your other training or making them your go-to workouts.
1. Increased flexibility and mobility.
Borrowing from ballet and all the flexibility that dancers need, barre classes can help improve your stretchiness. Some exercises can involve a bit of mobility, particularly in your hips. Beyond the specific ballet-inspired moves, you’ll also get a fair amount of stretching in most barre workouts to stretch out the muscles you’ll be exhausting.
2. Increased Muscle Strength
Any form of resistance training—calisthenics, weight lifting, and barre—will increase muscle mass. Studies show that yes, intensity or added weight builds muscle, but so can volume, which is what barre is all about.
3. Improved Endurance
Barre workouts are all about endurance, form, and repetition. You hold positions for a long time and exhaust reps, but with lower weight.
4. Better Posture
Many of the moves in a barre class also target your abs and core. You’ll gain solid strength to improve your posture, balance, and overall agility.
5. Improved Lower Back Pain
Because of barre’s core-strengthening and posture-improving abilities, it can lead to reduced lower back pain.
