Bar Pilates classes typically follow a structured format. They often start with a warm-up that includes stretches and light cardio to prepare the body for the main workout. During the class, you’ll use the ballet barre for support while performing a series of low-impact, high-repetition movements. These movements focus on specific muscle groups, such as the legs, core, arms, and back.
The instructor will guide you through each exercise, emphasizing proper form and alignment. Small props like resistance bands, balls, and light hand weights may be incorporated to add variety and intensity to the workout.
