By popular request, I’ve got a low-impact barre-sculpt workout for you today!
Don’t think “low impact” means low intensity – these barre moves will work your body in all the right places and you’ll be sore and sculpted when you’re done.
I actually include barre workouts into almost every program I write, and it’s one of the popular workout requests in our live Rock Your Life classes because workouts like this really deliver.
Top 3 Reasons to ROCK today’s Betty Barre Sculpt:
ONE: Barre moves are designed to work not only your larger working muscle groups, but the intrinsic stabilizers as well – which are often neglected in typical workout moves like squats and lunges.
As you work through the sequence with me, you’ll not only be sculpting amazing definition but strengthening muscles that are often underused and underdeveloped, helping to support beautiful long body lines.
TWO: Workouts like this target all your muscle groups, including the posterior chain, which supports better alignment and posture.
So many barre moves require a strong core and a straight spine while working your muscles in complex ways, which means you’re helping yourself balance key muscle groups by integrating them into upright movements for better overall stability.
THREE: Because you need to stay focused on your form while you’re doing this workout, you’ll automatically be more present to the moment.
Anytime we tune into our mind-body connection this way, amidst the chaos of our busy lives, is a win. The practice of being super present can really help us handle stress.
Now get ready to turn up the heat with me for this amazing leg, booty, upper body, and abs burn! You’ll want a chair back, barre, or countertop nearby for balance, as well as a pair of weighted objects handy to add resistance and assist with correct form.
I’ll show you modifications and variations as we go, so get ready to give it everything you’ve got!
One-off workouts are great, but having a plan to follow is even better! Take a 30-day Challenge in Rock Your Life and have workouts like this formatted into a plan to follow!
