Barre

 A style of fitness that combines elements of Dance, Pilates, and Yoga into one workout that offers full-body strength training. The barre is used as a support for some exercises, but also a chair or other supports can be used. Barre is a low-impact workout focusing on engaging the core and smaller body parts. The muscles in each group are fatigued via small, targeted movements, high numbers of repetitions, and light weight or resistance. Because you are spending a good amount of time in each shape to really wear out the muscles, you also can truly feel what part of your body you are supposed to be activating and strengthening.

Step Aerobics

A classic cardio workout. The step is a 4-inch to 12-inch raised platform. You step up, around, and down from the platform in different patterns. Step aerobics has all the benefits of a high-intensity cardio workout without putting stress on your joints. It improves overall fitness using your legs, upper body, and core, building strength and flexibility, reducing fat, and boosting cardiovascular health. It also improves balance, coordination, and agility. Research has even shown that doing step aerobics can boost mood and energy levels. Step aerobics moves range from simple to advanced. The most basic is a step-up, step-down. Once you get more experienced, you do moves that take you over the top and around the step forwards, sideways, and backwards.
