Wish you could have a lean, toned, and sculpted dancer's body? Cardio Barre is the workout that promises to deliver just that. Cardio Barre is the fusion of cardiovascular exercise with a barre-based routine, a workout technique in which a ballet barre is used to target muscles via isometric and elongating exercises, all the while protecting the joints, as the workout does not involve any jumping or bouncing. Followers of the classes rave that the sessions sculpt and tone every last inch of their bodies, leaving them looking firm yet lean, without the bulk.
