Bodyweight routines are a great way to build strength without any equipment, but sometimes doing endless squats, lunges and push-ups can get a bit boring. Want to shake up your schedule? Try doing a barre session.
Barre incorporates elements of ballet, Pilates and yoga. It features a lot of isometric holds, which are positions that force your muscles to continually contract (think planks, glute bridges and wall sits). From these positions, you move through small ranges of motion to target specific parts of your muscles.
