Hi guys! If you've never tried a barre class before, I've posted this video so you can give it a shot. Let me start by saying this is an AWESOME workout, especially for those who want a dynamic fitness experience that will keep you engaged and work your entire body! A few things to note:
You do NOT have to have access to a ballet barre to perform this exercise routine. I repeat, a barre is not necessary! Simply substitute a chair, sofa, or table that is stable, is around the height of the bottom of your ribcage, and that you can put light weight on. Another note- the sections where we place our full weight on the barre can obviously NOT be performed at home, so please don't attempt. Simply skip ahead :)
Small fitness balls like the one you see me using here are very inexpensive and can be used for a LOT of fitness routines. I've linked to them on Amazon if anyone is interested. If you don't currently have access to one, skip this section. http://amzn.to/2wGV3lf
Please be safe and use caution when performing this routine. That means listening to your body, following doctor's orders if you have any restrictions, and of course, stopping if at any time, you feel pain, dizziness, or extreme shortness of breath...however I can guarantee you will be working hard, so prepare to feel a little (healthy) discomfort!
Enjoy and be well!
