Don’t be fooled by “basic”. Barre core work is always hard! Grab a ball, any squishy ball for this workout. No ball, just do without! Pair this with an arm set and thigh set!
Sculpt for Spring is Here! To Our Dear Barre Beauties,There may still be some piles of snow on the ground, but there are signs of spring too. The sun is shining more. The birds are chirping.
