South Charlotte barre classes are all the rage these days, and as with any exercise that suddenly becomes popular, I know you’ve asked yourself these questions: Does it actually work? How do I know it isn’t just a fad?
While barre has been around for decades, we are all just starting to see what’s so great about this exercise. It’s more than just a fad workout—it is effective and efficient with real results.
Here’s the scoop on South Charlotte barre classes, and why you have to try them out.
What is Barre?
Maybe you’ve never even heard of barre. If so, the quick explanation is that it combines Pilates, yoga, and ballet in one fun workout. It gets its name from the ballet barre that you use during class for different movements, sometimes pushing against it, sometimes using it to balance.
A Well-Rounded Workout
Women are raving about this regimen because it gives you that lean, gorgeous dancer body without the injury or damage that dancers often face.
See results quickly as it works your whole body at once. Combining cardio and strength training makes barre a well-rounded exercise. The strength training makes it a great fat-burner while the cardio gets your heart rate up to burn even more calories. If you are limited in the number of days you can get to the gym, this is a smart option.
Other Benefits
Besides some major calorie burning, barre offers plenty of benefits, including:
• Improved posture
• Weight loss
• Increased flexibility
• Improved muscle definition
• Reduced stress
What to Expect
Expect a class filled with high rep, low weight or bodyweight exercises that strengthen and tone your body using moves inspired from ballet, Pilates, and yoga.
Scoop Tip: When choosing your outfit, opt for fitted clothing. Spandex and yoga pants are a girl’s best friend in barre because loose, ill-fitting clothing can get in the way of movement. As for shoes, most classes are taught barefoot or in socks.
