Total Barre Fitness

High-energy and dynamic, the Total Barre workout integrates elements of Pilates, dance, cardio & strength training. Total Barre was designed to to emphasize the correct biomechanics of movement combined with the power of music to increase strength, flexibility, cardio, stamina and dynamic stability....and you will have fun doing it! The 55-minute class starts with a standing warmup at the barre with a series of pliés and relevés. Next will do an arm sequence with light weights. Then we move into a series of barre or floor exercises that focus on the thighs and seat! We transition to standing abs and/or move to the floor for a series of planks, hip lifts and ab work. Stretching and back extensions round out your total body workout. This is a program geared for everyone—no dance experience required!.
