Barre workouts are all about low-impact [1], muscle-fatiguing movements. Even if you only have 10 minutes to exercise, this recipe is great for challenging your muscles without putting your joints at risk of injury.
Ideal for all fitness levels, you can add dumbbells or ankle and wrist weights to your barre [2] workout, or opt for no equipment at all. Either way, you'll feel accomplished (and sore in the best way) in no time.
After pulsing your way through the following 10-minute YouTube [3] barre workouts, you'll understand what all the hype is about.
