If you’re looking to build a stronger core, barre workouts are a great way to go about it. Barre sessions generally involve doing high amounts of reps to improve your muscular endurance, and the time your muscles spend under tension is ideal for working the deep core muscles and carving out your abs and obliques.

You can get these benefits from a barre-inspired session as well, and these workouts don't often require any equipment or access to a ballet barre, though using one of the best yoga mats is advisable since you’ll be training on the floor.
