It’s hard to lose weight just by doing aerobics! The most elegant muscle training method: Barre exercise

Then "Barre", which has a history of more than 40 years and has become increasingly popular in recent years, is the best for you!

What is Barre? Why is it so popular among women?

In the movie "Black Swan" starring Natalie Portman, the ballet dancers' graceful and slender curves are enviable. Although they seem to have no muscles and a slender figure, in fact, the hard work behind them is all the result of muscle strength training! A flexible body and posture require strong core muscles to support it. Barre combines the dance movements of ballet, but focuses on balance and muscle training, and combines it with other muscle training tools such as elastic bands, elastic balls and dumbbells to make the body leaner and firmer.
