30-minute Barre Booty Workout Video

June 08, 2020 Pratik Bandagale

This is an at-home barre workout you can do anywhere! This workout is lower body focused and only takes 30 minutes. All you need is a countertop or sturdy chair to hold onto for balance.

Good morning, friends. I hope that you found some peace this weekend. Mine was filled with a lot of reflection and some solid action planning with the Pilot as we continue to listen, learn, and read about how I can better support my BIPOC community. I’ve also found some new fitness and social media accounts that I’m looking forward to sharing with you in Friday Faves. In the meantime, I’ll be offering up some of the content I had previously planned, including today’s workout video, a Father’s Day gift guide, and a new recipe.

I’m coming atcha with an all-new barre workout today. Thank you for all of the awesome feedback on the videos I’ve been posting lately. I can’t walt to film with Grant again one of these days, but for now, the ol’ tripod is getting me through.

For today’s workout, I wanted to do a lower body burner with some cardio blasts. One of the best things about barre is that it targets some of the smaller and often neglected muscles that can have a huge impact on function, like the glute medius, abductor and adductor muscles, and piriformis. By keeping these muscles strong, it can help to protect us when we do more traditional strength exercises, cardio workouts, and plyometrics. It can also help to prevent pain in our low back and our knees while providing support to the pelvic floor. So.many.good.things. I feel like I can squat and lunge all the livelong day, but barre has a way of zoning in on the weak lower body musculature that really needs some love.

And by love, I mean deep burning and shaking. Heh.

I hope you’ll join me for this one! It’s only 30 minutes and is a fun and challenging combo of strength work with some cardio blasts. My booty was so sore after filming!
