Raising the Barre

17 Nov Raising the Barre

Group exercise is back in my life and I am loving it!  The revolutionary Barre Body has finally come to Joburg.  My gorgeous sister in law introduced me to ‘barre’ earlier this year when she became an instructor in the Cape Town studios.

Barre Body “works the entire body while targeting individual body areas to burn fat and sculpt and tone your seat, arms, thighs and abs.  This is achieved through small isometric movements that work the muscle to fatigue and then stretch to lengthen it out.  Barre Body is an athletic fusion of elements from dance, Pilates, light weights and cardio”.

Since the Joburg launch just ten days ago, I’ve attended a few classes and I’m pretty sure I can already see and feel a difference.  I can definitely see how this great form of exercise can completely transform your body and become totally addictive.  The combination of cardio, weights and pilates keeps the class interesting and ensures no one leaves the studio without breaking out a sweat.

Visit the Barre Body site (https://www.barrebody.co.za/) to find your nearest studio and give it a try.  You won’t regret it!
