The barre method uses your own body weight for resistance and focuses on small, deliberate movements that focus on specific groups of muscles, specifically muscles that aren’t used in other workouts.

Barre exercises helps strengthen and tone your muscles without increasing bulk, and it improves your posture. It also increases cardiovascular endurance and metabolism, which helps to quickly burn calories. Regular barre workouts can increase your bone density, which can help prevent conditions like osteoporosis. Barre exercises help hit muscles that can be overlooked in other types of exercises.

Use this routine to warm up before play or practice or do as work break to get moving after sitting for long periods.
