Welcome back to Get Fit with Britt! I'm going to be posting some demos of my fave exercises taught at Pure Barre Williamsburg, with the help of their awesome instructors. Pure Barre is a fast, effective, and most importantly, safe way to change your body, and follows a technique that's high-intensity, but low impact to protect your joints! Thanks to Pure Barre, I have been able to build long, lean (not bulky!) muscles while tapering everything in & lifting it up! For this series, we will pick a particular move, explain the focus area and correct form, then demonstrate it so you can practice at home! That way, if/when you come to the studio yourself, you'll be rocking the moves & way ahead of the game ;) These exercises are also a great way to get fit at home or on-the-go! I find myself regularly using Pure Barre exercises during my hotel room workouts. Additionally, you can get all the outfits I'm wearing at the Pure Barre Williamsburg studio, so definitely go by if you're looking for some fun, new workout gear! Come & join me, get that healthy & strong body you've always wanted- come Get Fit with Britt!

Today's exercise focuses on your butt! I love it because while the focus is on your outer seat, it truly is a full body workout! This move requires some serious balance and core strength so that you can make slow and controlled movements targeting your tush! This is a great area to focus on when you want to give some nicely defined shape to your butt. The small, subtle movements really target your outer seat, helping to lift and tone throughout. Be sure to keep your core tucked in tight, and actively press your hand down into the ball for an extra challenge and added resistance!

Today's exercise focuses on your butt! This pretzel position may look a bit funny, but trust me when I tell you this move burns out your tush like crazy! The small, subtle movements really target your outer seat, helping to lift and tone throughout, adding nice definition to your glutes. Be sure to remain upright and try not to lean too far over to the side, and keep your leg out at a 90 degree angle from your hip - this will increase the challenge and you'll see the results. Do 10 repetitions of each movement, and repeat the sequence three times to maximize the burn!

Today's exercise tones your entire lower body! This is the last working part of a typical Pure Barre class, and it's the perfect ending because you can really just let loose, leave it all on the mat, and tuck it out to the music! Rest your upper body on the mat, with your arms by your sides, and place your feet wider than hip width. As you lift your seat into a lower body bridge and start to tuck your hips in a strong, solid movement, you'll change the position of your feet from flexed, to flat, to tip toes. This larger range of motion really allows you to target and fatigue all the areas of your lower body, as opposed to just one, specific location. Now crank up the music, and get to tucking!

Today's exercise focuses on your butt (side seat, outer seat- whatever you want to call it)! While you relax your upper body on top of the barre, your lower half gets a super intense workout, all from tiny up & down movements in your leg. Create this movement by squeezing your seat as opposed to just lifting your leg- that way the muscle groups in your butt are isolated and you'll really feel the burn there. The small, subtle movements really target your outer seat, helping to lift and tone throughout. Be sure to keep your shoulders relaxed, abs pulled in, and hips tucked under to see the best results. Repeat three sets of ten on each leg.
