Barre Ab Burner {video}

Hi friends! Happy almost-Friday! Hope you’re having a lovely morning. I put together a barre ab workout for you while I head off on an adventure today. I’m so excited to post the details! I’ll get to see snow (the kind that sticks to the ground haha) for the first time in years. I am wholly unprepared for the realness that’s headed my way haha.

A barre ab workout featuring some of my favorite moves! This 10-minute video will work every abdominal muscle and also helps to strengthen the low back, which is a critical component of our core. fitnessista.com

(Sweatpants from Kohl’s, tank is lululemon)

I feel like the ab/core section in barre classes is not like pizza: It’s either OH YES I FEEL THE BURN, or meh. Since the movements tend to be within a smaller range of motion, you have to make sure that your posture and alignment is on par (I almost said “on fleek” there but I’m 30).

Barre Ab Workout Video

Here’s a 10-minute video I put together featuring some of my very favorite moves! We work in high hold with some oblique twists, move onto the floor for figure 4 crunches, leg lifts, and finally, into a prone position for low back work. This 10-minute video will work every abdominal muscle and also helps to strengthen the low back, which is a critical component of our core. As always, modify as needed and check with a doc before making any fitness changes. 

 

Let me know if you give a it a try! See you soon. 

xoxo

  21. Carrie on January 22, 2015 at 6:14 am

    okay, I always hate when people ask this when the post is not even about this subject, but where are your pants from? I’m trying to find more options than tight black capris regardless how comfortable.

  37. Gina Hackbarth on January 22, 2015 at 10:48 am

    This is just what I needed to change up my ab workout today! Just finished and I loved it. I’ll feel it tomorrow 😀

  38. Ashley @ A Lady Goes West on January 22, 2015 at 10:50 am

    Thanks, Gina! I really like this ab workout, because my least favorite part of a barre class is when we sit under the barre. These free-standing moves are excellent! 🙂 Feel the burn!

  39. Amy S on January 22, 2015 at 11:55 am

    I can’t wait to try this. Your ab burner videos always leave me sore (in a good way) the next day! Thanks for posting 🙂

  49. Sarah F on January 23, 2015 at 5:21 am

    Thanks for this Working my abs is always my favourite part to work (well, not so much during the activity, but afterwards). I will definitely be doing this later today 🙂

  50. Stephanie @ Whole Health Dork on January 23, 2015 at 9:38 am

    OMG, so perfect! I will definitely mash all of the videos together for a total barre workout. I actually tend to do them during my lunch hour because I can do them in a small space (AKA at my desk). Thanks so much!
