Barre Fitness: Barre Exercises You Can Do Anywhere for Flexibility, Core Strength, and a Lean Body

Description

Step up to the barre and strengthen your core with 100 at-home barre
exercises!Infused with elements of ballet, barre classes were introduced by
Lotte Berk in the 1970s as a new way to combine dance with traditional
exercise. Just about any barre class will involve a lot of reps of small,
pulsing movements (lifting and lowering limbs a mere inch or two) at the
barre, with a heavy focus on the legs, glutes, and core and emphasis on form
and alignment.Barre Fitness provides 100 at-home barre exercises from the
fundamentals to more complex moves with a focus on building strength and
improving technique–no barre required! Trained at the ground floor of the
prestigious Lotte Berk Method NYC (where barre fitness originated), Fred
Devito and Elisabeth Halfpapp bring first-generation teaching and training
experience and the acclaim of the Core Fusion(R) brand to this guide to at-
home exercise, geared toward your fitness goals.This book breaks down the set
ups, progressions, and sequences for all of the classic barre exercises to
empower you to perform them at home with clear photographs and easy-to-follow
descriptions and program routines. Each exercise explains the benefits and how
they can be combined for different results. Learn how to integrate these barre
exercises into your daily workout routine, while mindfully incorporating
healthy eating and stress reduction habits, for living a healthier lifestyle
regardless of your age or fitness level.Whether you want to tone and shape
your muscles (without gaining muscle mass), build your core strength, lose
weight, increase flexibility, combat aging, rehab from injury, or supplement
your current fitness routine (or any combination of these), Barre Fitness
offers the solutions you’re looking for. Read more
