Workout #3
Keep up the amazing work you’re doing with Winter Shape Up! For Workout #3, we have a full barre workout. This is going to challenge your muscles in an entirely different way with lots of high reps (focusing on muscular endurance), small pulses to challenge the strongest part of each movement, and static holds to fully fatigue your legs. I hope you love it! Watch Sara for some modifications during the workout if you need ideas. If you have any knee, hip or joint considerations, I would talk with a doctor before trying this workout and start with a very small range of motion. If it hurts, don’t do it!
Please let me know what you think, and be sure to comment on the post for each week for your chance to enter the giveaways.
Check out the intro post for the full Winter Shape Up schedule.
Happy shaking!

Yup, I can already feel my legs totally shaking just watching this video. And I cannot wait!!
Owwww. Who knew such tiny movements could be so hard. Thanks for sharing your skilz!
That was my first experience with barre…loved it! Happy to be expanding my fitness horizons! So fun.
Just finished the barre workout! Going to go for a run later this afternoon!
First time trying a barre workout and found it very tough! Hoping it gets easier each week 😉
Doing this tonight…:)
Loved it! Definitely a keeper.
This one is going in the books! Sneaky sneaky barre workouts! Loved it!
Ouch! It burns so good:)
Holy isometrics, batman. It’s a good thing I don’t have little ones yet, because “holy isometrics” was not what I was yelling trying to keep it going… 😉
Short and sweet…and tough! Thanks!
After sitting in the chair to watch The Bachelor, I began reading week 2 schedule- unable for a real excuse to skip today- I turned on the video. I LOVE IT ! My first time ever with Barre and definitely not the last. THANK YOU for making the plan – and so easy to follow, I can’t make an excuse. I will be sore tomorrow! 🙂
Holy that was TOUGH. I’m a pool of sweat…and the 30 min flew by! Thats a sign of a good workout!!
Ow! Those holds at the ends…killer! One question Gina, when doing the plies at the start, in order to keep a line through my spine, my knees were sticking out way over my toes. Is that right? I know that’s not what you are supposed to aim for with regular squats and didn’t want to do any damage. Thank you!
Great workout! You make it go fast! Thanks Gina!
Oh it burns so bad but is ohhhhh so good!! Thanks Gina. When it’s a video it is much more motivating for me to get it done.
Great workout. Would you post it to your YouTube channel? (It’s not there and can’t be shared, and I like to access your workouts on my TV through the YouTube app)
Love this workout!
Just did this one…definitely always been more into high intensity stuff cause I have felt in the past like that’s what works best for me. But I’ve been experimenting a lot more lately with things like Pilates and yoga and whatnot (still doing my cardio and heavy weights and everything) but I love the addition of things like this into my program! Never done Barre before so this was an awesome hit over the head for me that, even though it may look easy, doesn’t mean it is. My quads, though! Lol
yes, it’s sneaky like that! haha
Did Workout 6 on the treadmill after work followed by Workout 3 at home!
Another workout 3 in the books!
oh my gosh my hips! haha. questin though: for the “down for 2, up for 2”, (in plie and legs together), do we come all the way up to straight legs? i wasnt but then i noticed it looked like you were
you still want a tiny bend in your knee at the top
Really enjoyed this workout! The cues were really helpful in keeping me motivated to the finish of each exercise. I’m feeling the burn!
This was awesome!!! Can you maybe do a 30 min video that targets more upper body/lower as well? I just bought small dumbbells and I’ve used other online resources but I love your teaching style!
