What is the 8-minute barre workout?
Barre is a low-impact workout thats high in repetitions and low-impact movements.
It takes its name from the stationary ballet barre used in some in-person classes.
However, not all Barre classes use one.
This 8-minute session is floor-based, so no equipment is required.
Expect lots of repetitions with modifications that make this class suitable for beginners and intermediates.
Here’s how I got on when I rolled out my mat and gave it a try.
Now I know there were variousplank variationsto help you build core strength and muscle.
But I was unaware of how much each different variation could change the emphasis of the muscles worked.
This helped me put my form first.
Plus, completing this class has challenged my body in new ways.
When else would I do so many plank variations or repetitions?
Exercise really is the gift that keeps on giving.
