Low-Impact Barre Sculpt Home Workout
Build strength and balance with this amazing low-impact barre sculpting workout!
I get a lot of requests for this type of training in Rock Your Life, because barre workouts are so fun. But did you know that they also help strengthen the stabilizing muscles that give you power, balance, and alignment?
Not only does today’s workout develop and strengthen your glutes and legs, it’s also important for your day to day functional movements such as standing, walking and maintaining good posture.
Check out the Free 14-day Foundations of Functional Fitness Workshop right here!
When it comes to posture and alignment, many movements in our day to day life use the muscles on the front side of the body (makes sense, we see in front of ourselves!) so it’s important to actively balance out your body by working your “posterior chain” as well.
Your posterior chain is simply the chain of muscles along the back side of your body and Barre workouts like this help to isolate, activate and strengthen them. Since virtually every workout you do calls on your posterior chain, it makes good sense to focus on training those muscles.
Follow along with me for form cues and modifications and remember low-impact doesn’t mean low intensity or that this will be “easy” – you’re going to feel this!
This workout will be sure to give you an awesome burn, so let’s get right to it!
