Hit the barre in the lead up to Christmas

Hit the barre in the lead up to Christmas

With just seven weeks to until Christmas, thoughts turn to party season.  You might have a killer LBD at the ready, but do you have the confidence to make a memorable, impactful and elegant entrance?  Luckily, you don’t have to be a ballerina to achieve a dancer’s physique and poise.

There’s a reason ballet inspired workouts are so popular with celebrities including Taylor Swift, Rosie Huntington-Whitely and Katie Holmes. Barre based workouts are low impact but high intensity, helping fans create and maintain lean, toned physiques.  And because you see results after every workout, you can make a difference to your silhouette right up until the last minute.

You don’t have to be a Hollywood A-Lister to achieve your dream body. Barreworks, based in a beautiful Richmond studio, offers a range of ballet inspired workouts so no two classes are ever the same. Teachers include Royal Ballet School trained dancers, so you know you’re learning from the very best.  If you can’t make it to the studio, simply visit www.barreworks.co.uk to check out all-new online classes.

During every Barreworks class, you’ll work out your entire body. Over time you can expect a lifted bottom, trimmer thighs, more defined arms and all over toning and sculpting. With exercises involving dynamic and static movements, isometric holds and core strengthening, this fun, fast paced workout is deceptively challenging. While your cardiovascular stamina will be improved, you won’t be jumping around or sweating so this is a perfect class for any time of day, even lunchtime, with no need to shower afterwards.

TOP FIVE REASONS TO HIT THE BARRE BEFORE THE BAR:

Barreworks classes work the whole body, lifting bottoms, trimming thighs and defining arms.

No dance or exercise experience required, suitable for any body type or fitness level.

No jumping around, no pounding heart or sweating… so no need to shower afterwards!

CHRISTMAS PARTY PREP TIPS FROM BARREWORKS FOUNDER VICKI ANSTEY

“Start walking like a dancer in everyday life. Straighten your back, raise your chin and pull your stomach in. It may feel funny at first but by the time Christmas party season arrives, you’ll be strutting like a supermodel with your new ballet body!”

“Remember, your body is stronger than you think. Try to push yourself a little further than you think you can go in every class. Soon you’ll be amazed at what you can do! The sense of achievement is a big part of the reason our clients tell us thatBarreworks helps mind, body and soul.”

“Commit to making fitness part of your routine. Sometimes it feels like between juggling work and family, there’s no time to work out! That’s why we pack a whole body workout into every Barreworks class, and launched online lessons for anyone who can’t make it to the studio.”
