One of my favorite parts about barre is how accessible it is to people with varying abilities, comfort levels, and more. It never gets easy, you just get better!
Part of what makes our classes at EVOLVE, so versatile is the use of props to support movements that begin with and focus on developing strength, flexibility and range of movement within specific muscle groups of your body.
One of the best examples of this is a classic exercise you'll find familiar - glute bridge. Whether you are using a ball to get the most out of this exercise, starting off without one, or resting your knees and working closer to the mat, this is a great exercise to target your gluteal muscles and hamstrings.
One tip that will make this move as effective as possible in class is to remember to keep your core engaged! This is one of the easiest times during our 55 minutes of mindfulness to focus on your arms steadying you or your legs initiating movement. It's so important to keep your core engaged and never arch your back during glute bridge, and your body will thank you for it. Here's to a year of effective and mindful movement.
