Certified instructor description:
A flowing workout that combines dancer-inspired barrework with traditional Cathe-style toning. It's a high-rep, high-intensity program designed to increase both strength and flexibility. You'll begin with rhythmic standing exercises that use dumbbells to work multiple muscle groups. That's followed by an all-barrework segment featuring moves like curtsey lunges, ballet relevés and athletic squats (holding the barre to allow for more effective, full-range-of-motion progressions).
The program ends with classic floorwork exercises like push-ups and ab curls. As always, Cathe's cuing is clear and easy to follow. Requires 3 to 8 lb. dumbbells and a challenge band. They use a ballet barre but a chair will work. ©2011.
