BARRE WORKOUT
Join the HRC for an introduction to a Barre workout. Barre is a toning, body-weight workout. It engages muscles you wouldn't normally target—ones deep inside your body that squats, lunges, and sit-ups don't reach. With high-reps and low-impact movements, barre challenges anyone looking to fine-tune their muscles.
