WHY BARRE IS THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO TO SUPPORT YOUR NEW FOUND LOVE OF RUNNING…

If you, like many have leapt onto the running bandwagon during lockdown, this ballet inspired super method could be your secret weapon for faster runs PB’s and injury free miles…

Online barre has been unbelievably popular throughout our lockdown virtual programme and here are a few reasons why you MUST bring this low impact, high energy workout into your routine if you enjoy pounding the pavement or the treadmill.

It delivers the most amazing results… FACT!

It requires basically no equipment outside of a dining char and will bring about a thigh shaking, butt burning sensation you can only dream of.

Forget barbell squats, this little beauty guarantees to hit the glutes without overloading the knees and stressing out the spine, the consistent, endorphin boosting cardio-vascular element puts you in the most marvellous mood whilst getting right into those “hard to access” areas, like the top of your jeans and the inner thighs, bringing about butts of steel! The overall effect, feeling taller, tighter, leaner and more aware of your posture.

So.. why will it help my running?

This amazing method deserves a spot in your weekly routine because it focuses on long, pulsed isometric contractions which really stimulate your accessory muscles and create immense joint stability in the hips, knees and ankles.

This is amazing for improving stamina, developing strength and absorbing the impact of high intensity pavement pounding. The more stability you can create, the less of a hit your joints will have to absorb with repetitive strides. You will also be able to generate more power, to propel you forward, making every step more efficient.

Not only will it improve your physical appearance, strength and stamina, it will build the most phenomenal mental toughness, the desire to stop will be overwhelming.. you just learn to keep going, another skill which will enhance your running prowess.

Runners are notorious for not always paying strength training the attention it deserves, implementing this type of training once a week strengthens the feet, the achilles and calves, making it the perfect preventative method to stave off injuries and keep you running longer, harder and safer!

It improves posture and flexibility, targets the core, back and glutes as some extra perks too, whilst bringing about an amazing sense of purpose, self confidence and achievement…
