Meet us at the Barre..Sculpting and Toning

Glutes, Core, Calves, Hamstrings and even arms. Great way to tone and strengthen at Barre Sculpt

 Barre Sculpt is a great way to sculpt your body in a non-impact smooth flow for the body kind of a way. Barre Sculpt is a combination of slow repetitive ballet moves, and yoga and pilates forms along with tucking your hips and tightening your core. Each class incorporates, a yoga flow at the beginning as a warmup along with some upper body strenthening using light weights or no weights with very small repetitive movements. This technique gets deep into the muscle tissue and helps strengthen as well as tone the muscles. Adding muscle tissue helps to lean out the muscle as well as burn fat during class and hours after as well.
After the warmup and upper body segment, the instructor will move into the Barre portion of class.  During this portion you will find plies, releves, leg lifts, pelvic tucks, squats, chair poses, bridges and much more. Here is where you will feel the wrath of the barre. Movements are very small and controlled with a lot of repetition.
After the multiple sequences of Barre movements, you will move into an abdominal section. During this time, you may still be using the barre, such as the picture above. Pilates based exercises may be incorporated as well to get all muscles surrounding the upper, middle and lower section of your abdominals and obliques. As well as your glutes, hips, and inner and  outer thighs.
This class is for all levels, but we won't lie and tell you that you won't be a little sore for a few days. When first starting out, please take your time and take breaks if needed. Do not compare yourself to the veterans of this class. They started out as a newbie at one time too. You too will be as strong as you see they are soon. Use their experience to motivate you and to watch their form. Let the instructor know you are a beginner, which they will always ask if there are new people in class, and they can also give you modifications if needed.
Results will start to show after just 2 weeks of this class if you are taking it at least 2-3 times per week. These results may vary depending on your nutritional intake, but you will start to see your strength increase as well as your buns and core get tighter. 

Flexibility and strength all in one class.

Barre Sculpt- Tightening Your Glutes

Barre Sculpt is one of the fastest growing fitness trends right now. Also known as Pure Barre, Ballet Barre, Ballet Fitness, Ballet Bar and other creative names. Essentially it is a class using the ballet bar and core strength to lengthen and strengthen your body. This class is firms your glutes and helps lift them back to your where they were in your teens. It can also increase your flexiblity by tightening the muscles then stretching it after. You do not need to be a ballerina or any type of dancer to take this class. Most exercises are designed to lengthen your muscles as well as tighten and tone. The exercises are performed with small movements or range of motion to feel a "burn" and are repeated multiple times. Many of the exercises are reflective of  a mat pilates class and keeping the core tight with short breathes to get the maximum amount of force to the muscle. Although you may feel your heart rate increase at times, this is not a cardio class. It is a sculpting class. We have heard members say that they can start seeing results of a tighter core; glutes, abs, thighs, lower back, and even calves and arms within a few weeks. Sweat Cardio offers Barre Sculpt Mondays 11a, Wednesdays 4:30p and Saturdays 11:30a. 
No shoes required. Some people will wear socks or toesox which are available to purchase at Sweat Cardio and Sweatcardio.com
For any further questions on Barre Sculpt please feel free to call 951-302-0088 or email us at info@sweatcardio.com

Ballet Barre Sculpt is the Hottest Fitness Trend

     Ballet Barre Sculpt also known as Barre Fitness, Barre Sculpt, Barre Method, Pure Barre or Ballet Fitness is the hottest new trend in fitness.
     Barre Sculpt is a total body workout that lifts your seat, tones your thighs and burns fat in record-breaking time!  Utilizing the ballet barre to perform small isometric movements set to fantastic music!  Barre is on of the fastest, most effective, yet safest way to change your body.  We have heard students say they see results in less than 10 classes!
      Barre is a combination of ballet isolated moves in a repetitive series. It gets into the deep muscle tissue to firm and tone. Most exercises focus on the core, which include the abdominals, glutes, hips, thighs (inner and outer) and lower back. There are classes that use small equipment as well such as mini balls seen in this picture, light weights and of course the ballet bar. Pilates based moves are used as well to isolate the abdominals and core. Yoga may also be incorporated into a Barre class for stretching, posture, and to lengthen the muscles. 
Barre sculpt is for all fitness levels. There are modifications for each exercise. 
It is done barefoot or with either ballet shoes or Toesox. 
     Toesox are a grippy sock that you can find at Sweat Cardio or online. 
     Mats and other equipment is provided for you, but you can bring your own if you prefer. 
     Barre Sculpt is a fun way to change up your workouts and get a great bum while you are at it!
