Description:
Richard Giorla, a classically trained dancer who created Cardio Barre, based his revolutionary workout on one principle: the key to strength and endurance is developing core muscle -- the center of the body must be strong in order to support the other areas of the body. In Cardio Barre, you work from your core -- maintaining your balance using a barre, a countertop, a chair, or even your own strength -- then repeat low-resistance, dance-based motions such as pliés, arm extensions, and leg flexes. With no kicking, jumping, or punching, this effective and complete workout leaves participants with long, lean muscles, flexibility, and endurance.
