Why is barre so great for the female body?
“Barre is a very effective workout for all ages and fitness levels. It is a form of strength training that will build the muscle we need throughout life, but also as we age and begin to lose muscle mass,” explains Georgina. “This is turn gives us tone, with a particular focus on the core and the ability to increase your metabolism.
“Designed as a form of rehab for a ballerina it has evolved into the fitness class we love today.
“It’s commonly thought you need dance experience to take class, but that’s really not the case. It can be an effective workout on its own or complimentary to higher impact exercise lovers.
“It is fantastic for the female body and our varying stages through life as it safely builds muscle tone and supports all hormonal fluctuations and changes. We have women who will barre through their pregnancy, they the return Post Nataly to our Barre & Baby Classes with little one and then continue onwards.
“We then see many women joining as the higher intensity exercise, they once favoured stops being as effective, especially as we enter the Peri Menopause and Menopause, and sometimes has the opposite effect of weight gain and injuries. This is when Barre is fantastic as it feels challenging, but kinder to the body whilst seeing results.”
