Top 10 Barre Workout Benefits

Why are barre workouts so effective?

Barre workouts are rising because they are for every age and fitness level. You don’t have to be a dancer; the results are dramatic! Participating in a safe and effective workout is incredibly important, and Barre Series provides just that! Barre is an effective workout designed to sculpt, strengthen and motivate. The Barre Series workout, in particular, brings in elements of dance, ballet and Pilates to create an adrenaline-fuelled exercise that strengthens, lengthens and chisels the body. Each class is never the same and features a combination of movements that enhance flexibility, improve balance, and challenge the core. The great thing about barre is that anyone can do it – from complete beginners to professional dancers.

What can I expect from a Barre class?

The Barre Series class incorporates elements of dance and Pilates and is infused with cardio, resistance and body-weight challenges, which combine to give quick and effective results. 

Long-term benefits of barre:

Improves posture, fitness and flexibility. The combination of stretching and working your whole body to its full range of movement in a Barre Series class enhances circulation and increases flexibility. Toning exercises are paired with stretches and Pilates techniques that elongate the muscles to help you stand taller, achieving a dancer’s grace. Regular stretching in barre classes has increased collagen production (which helps with firming and toning) and ensures you return to your workouts quickly, avoiding injury. It helps correct poor posture by lengthening tight muscles that pull body areas away from their intended position. Stretching just twice a week can assist in maintaining our lean muscles and increase our blood and nutrient supply to our muscles, thus reducing muscle fatigue.

Mental and emotional benefits:

The ballet aspect of the Barre Series gives those new to dance the

opportunity to move in ways they are not used to, which offers a sense of freedom and release. As with all exercise, barre can help relieve stress and improve mood. This, combined with improved posture, can give you greater self-confidence.

2. Barre Series adds elements of cardio into each class so you can burn anywhere between 200-600 calories each session– (talk about packing a punch!). In addition to cardio and toning exercises, stretching is essential to the Barre Series workout. Regular stretching can increase the production of collagen, which helps firm and tone the muscles, increase flexibility and helps correct poor posture by lengthening tight muscles that pull areas of the body away from their intended position.

3. The Barre Series burn is real! You will hear words in your barre class: squeeze, stretch, lengthen, and grow. The focus on movement and how you use your muscles significantly affects their development. Length and strength are at the core of ballet/barre movements, creating beautiful lean and long muscles without bulk.

4. The results are quick and effective. Within your first three classes, you will begin to see results.

8. Barre Series is for everyBODY!

9. Barre is becoming more popular for men as an alternative to their regular strength and cardio. You’ll work every muscle in your body (and find ones you probably didn’t realise you had!)
