WIFE Sport: The Bar Method

May 18th, 2010 | Health

My friend Nicole introduced me to Bar Method a few weeks ago and ever since I have been hooked.  I thought my first class would be a breeze considering I take Ballet twice a week, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. This class was truly a challenge in every way possible, I literally could not finish every interval of each exercise. Luckily after a few classes under my belt and getting the hang of things… I’ve noticed a much more toned body and I have Bar Method to thank for a flatter stomach! Sign Up Now, Completely worth $22.00 a Class. – Taryn Cox

The Bar Method in Brief: The Bar Method™workout creates a uniquely lean, firm, sculpted body by combining the muscle-shaping principles of isometrics, the body-elongating practice of dance conditioning, the science of physical therapy and the intense pace of interval training into a powerful exercise format that quickly and safely reshapes and elongates muscles.

This is What you would expect from a Bar Method Class: The Bar Method targets all major muscle groups by contracting or stretching them by means of controlled isolations performed to music.  After a simple warm-up to get the heart rate going and the muscles warm, students work the upper body with free weights, push-ups and stretches using the ballet bar. Next come challenging exercises for the lower body, most of them performed in various standing positions while holding onto the bar. The Bar Method’s workout continues with floor exercises for the abdominals and gluteals and concludes with a relaxing series of back and leg stretches.

How to The Bar Method Helps Sculpt Muscles and Lose Weight: The Bar Method shapes and elongates every major muscle group, burns away fat around these muscles, and then stretches them.  The result is a clearly visible change in body shape. Muscles look longer and more defined, the body becomes leaner and more slender, and posture becomes more erect. The Bar Method exercise class is equivalent to interval training. It alternates between exercises that demand intense bursts of energy and deep stretches. This format produces both a high caloric burn and firmer muscle mass.  Most students who do the Bar Method regularly become slimmer and lighter, sometimes within months.
How The Bar Method is Different from Pilates: The Bar Method workout is more intense than Pilates and so gives students greater stamina and muscle definition. Other differences are that Pilates works the small muscle groups, while the Bar Method works the large muscles groups, thereby adding muscle density and an increased metabolic rate. Pilates uses machines and mat-work to realign the core muscles, while the Bar Method uses the body’s own weight to isolate, strengthen and reshape.

The result is a noticeable “Bar Method” sculpted body featuring:

  • Firm, elongated muscles
  • Reduced body fat
  • High muscle definition in the chest, upper arms and upper legs
  • Improved posture
  • Long, narrow thighs
  • A lifted seat and defined hamstrings
  • Strong, flat abdominals
  • Increased stamina and energy
  • Extended youthfulness
