Want To Work Your Arms, Abs, And Glutes At The Same Time? Consider Trying This 20 Minute Barre Workout

While it can be fun to incorporate the cool workout equipment you accumulated over the course of quarantine into your sweat session (hello, Bala Power Ring), sometimes you just need to keep things simple. Program director and founding instructor of Bande, takes you back to basics in this episode of Trainer of the Month Club. She demos a classic barre workout that works your entire body in 20 minutes, no special equipment necessary.

“The goal today is simple, but not easy. It’s a classic barre class that’s meant to heat you up and work you out from the inside out,” says the instructor. “So just do your best, and most importantly enjoy it.”

At the beginning of the workout, you will get your blood flowing. The only equipment needed is a chair which will act as a barre and will help to work abs, glutes, arms, and legs at the same time. The workout is based on breathing, pulsing, and isolation, and remember you will feel your body shaking at the end of the workout.

“This is going to start to burn real quick,” instructor says. And in those tough moments when you want to call it quits, she urges you to live in the discomfort. ”When you want to straighten the legs, when you want to give up, just remember this moment is temporary. It will pass, and it is worth it because you are getting stronger, you are taking time for yourself, you’re committing to you.”

So carve out 20 minutes in your schedule, and consider doing a full-body barre workout your muscles will thank you for.
