Suppose you’ve been missing your regular barre classes; no need to worry! You have an alternative you may not have known about: barre workouts at home.
And if you’re short on time, again, don’t fret! There are many things that take 15 minutes: cooling down after a yoga class, deciding what to order for takeout, and thinking about a caption for your latest post.
Here’s another task to add to that list: a workout that will actually help transform your body!
You read that right! You don’t have to spend 30 or 45 minutes at the gym.

Are 15-Minute Barre Exercises a Good Workout?
Contrary to popular belief, workouts, especially barre, don’t need to be too long to be effective.
In fact, just 15 minutes of work out per day increases your lifespan, improves cardiovascular and metabolic health, and even sharpens cognitive function.
Barre workouts look easy, especially if you’re used to strength training and HIIT workouts that look intense.
But don’t let that deter you from giving it a try! We guarantee that barre will challenge you with its low-impact movements.
Barre workouts are challenging for our bodies differently than traditional strength training.
Working for each muscle group through small, targeted movements, high repetitions, and lighter weights or just body weight found in barre workouts are great for building deep core strength and strengthening the stabilizing muscles around the joints.
