“Barre so hard” leg workout

January 29, 2015 |

Hi friends! How’s the day going? I feel like the week has flown by, but am definitely excited for the weekend ahead. 

Some latest adventures include a CORE40 class, which left me shaking like a leaf:

a coffee date at Better Buzz with a friend:

 

Latteee

(a decaf almond milk latte. Adore the cute stickers on the lid.)

and detox cookies. I learned a valuable lesson today. Detox + cookies are two things that should never be related. I should have made amazeballs or brownie batter bites instead.

They look pretty, and taste like death.

Today, I have a new barre blast workout to share with you! It emphasizes lower body muscular endurance (lots of reps!) with an inner thigh and glute emphasis. There are cardio blasts in between the segments to increase your heart rate and torch wicked calories. I highly recommend completing the video twice through (once on the left side, again on the right side), which will only take 17 minutes out of your day! Skip this one if you have any knee, hip or joint considerations, as they may be aggravated from the small pulsing movements. As always, check with a doc before making any fitness changes.

Here’s the video!

Please let me know if you give it a try!

This would work well with this barre strength video and this barre ab burner.

Hope you enjoy. <3 Barre thirty for this girl over here, too!

    Yeah I tried a detox cookie that my friend made the other day and was not impressed! I like my cookies full of chocolate 😉 Thanks for sharing the video! I did one of your other Barre videos a few nights ago and boy did it burn!

    I sure want to try that core40 class–there isn’t a lot of ab workouts that can make me shake like a leaf and I’m up for the challenge.

    Did you wear socks during CORE40? I felt like my sweaty feet were sliding around. 🙂

    Those machines looks a little scary/ fun!
    Hopefully the yummy latte made up for the less than impressive cookies.
    Happy almost weekend 🙂

    I just have to say the sticker on your latte makes me think of the movie Super Troopers. 😉

    When I bake cookies, there has to be chocolate involved and unless chocolate’s part of a detox plan… 😉
    Brownie batter bites sound delicious, though. Off to find that recipe!

    Thanks for this Barre Burner! This looks like a great workout to replace one of my light leg days with every once in a while! I like to do one heavy and one body weight-or light! Can’t wait to give it a try! Thanks Gina!

    Haha love your comments about the detox cookies! Cookies need butter and sugar. And probably chocolate. Otherwise..what’s the point?!

    I’ve never done a barre workout. Might need to try this!
