Best Barre None

barre3 workout dvds

I am the thrilled recipient of Sadie Lincoln's collection of barre3 DVDs. I know some people are adamant they can only do classes when surrounded by others, but if you find the right instructor, and you make a ready space to work out at home, it's ideal if

• you're busy
• your budget doesn't permit gym/classes
• you like training alone
• you're self-motivated enough to do it regularly!

Luckily for you, Sadie's workouts are available online and you can pick HOW you want to work out (standing, lying, both) and for how long. Recent research has shown that three 10 minute sessions a day actually increases strength and calorie burn to a greater degree than a half hour session. The beauty of this is, you can do 10 minutes before work, 10 minutes when you get home and 10 minutes in the evening.

For my Ballet Sculpt class, HAPPY DAYS! You will experience all the moves I pick up while watching the Sadie the master barre instructor at work on Mondays at 11.30am, Kew Recreation Centre (plug, plug).

For those who want to get long, lean and strong and can't make my class or see me as a trainer: Sadie's online workouts! My favourite is Candace Ofcacek's Ballet Boot Camp.
