The Benefits of Barre

Still not sold? If you're sitting slumped in your chair reading this, then you may want to think again. According to Lincoln, the major benefits of barre are improved posture, muscle definition, weight loss, increased flexibility and reduced stress. Plus, women at just about any fitness level can sign up for a class: Both Lincoln and Becker say that barre classes are perfectly fine for pregnant women because they're not high impact. They may even help with imbalance (a common issue during pregnancy due to that growing belly) and stability.

How Barre Stacks Up Against Cardio

One of the best parts of barre is that it combines strength training and cardio, says Becker, so you're burning fat and building muscle at the same time. "Our technique focuses on strengthening the muscles, and muscle tissue burns 15 times as many calories as fat. The stronger you get, the more calories you'll burn 'round the clock." Time to pump up those plies!

"No dance experience required! All types of people are welcome.Freight House Barre will focus on the physical and aesthetic benefits of lengthening and strengthening muscles, inspired by ballet and other disciplines like yoga and Pilates.We'll begin with a warm-up and sequence of upper-body exercises to work biceps, triceps, shoulders, chest and back. (Don't be surprised if light weights are incorporated to enhance the reps during these exercises.) Then we'll move to a ballet barre sequence that will focus on thighs. Our core will be engaged the entire class and will be targeted at the end. We'll finish the class with a series of stretches to increase flexibility and allow muscles to recover.Please wear breathable, comfortable, tight-fitting workout clothes so the instructor can easily see form and alignment. The workout is done in socks on the black mats." - Corina Barnes
