Do you love a good dance-inspired workout but have little time or money to hit the gym or studio? Our Intermediate Series offers the best ballet barre value through its unmatched portability and durability. It's perfect for your home (or smaller studio) and when paired with free dance or workout videos, its value to your wallet (and spirit) really soars. Try it for yourself with these three sample workout routines!
Beginner Ballet Routine with Barre
If you're a beginner or just getting back to the barre after a hiatus, consider this 20-minute sequence from Broche Ballet, a company that specifically caters to grownups! You'll learn and practice plié combos, demi pliés (if your knees have seen better days) or grand pliés (if your joints are a bit more forgiving), as well as test your balance in releve, your coordination with tendus and ronde de jambes and your flexibility with front, side and back stretches. Give it a try in the comfort of your home where nobody will judge your gracefulness (or lack thereof).
Strength Workout with Barre
Looking for less ballet and a more traditional exercise routine? Check out this energetic 20-minute workout by BarreConcept, which promises to strengthen your thighs, glutes, arms and core. The instructor demonstrates proper form from her free-standing ballet barre, so you can mimic the movements from your own sturdy Boss Ballet Barre - not the flimsy cobbled-together barre in the video, of course. ;)
Cardio Barre Workout
If you want to combine grace, strength and heart-pumping intervals, then you'll be thrilled with a cardio barre workout, like this bitesize 12-minute lower body routine from BodyBarre. Workouts like these require extra space around your durable Boss Ballet Barre, but you'll be glad to be gripping onto your reliable steel buddy as you sweat your tail off.
You'll find hundreds of other free workouts on YouTube and other platforms to motivate you to step up to the barre. Questions about the best fit for your space? Contact us; we'd be happy to put a spring in your step.
