This results oriented low impact workout focuses on strength, flexibility, and high energy fun. If you don't already own my Turbo Tower, feel free to use a chair to participate in this workout.

This routine is the ultimate long and lean total body strengthening workout and uses most of the same methods that many professional dancers use when they train.  Expect to combine elements of Pilates, yoga, and ballet, drizzled with some light cardio benefits for an excellent total body conditioning workout.  After a warm up, you'll strengthen the upper and lower body with light to moderate hand weights.  Have a lighter and heavier set handy so you can quickly make adjustments to challenge your muscles appropriately.  After the hand weight conditioning segment, you'll get your turbo bar or a chair for a very challenging lower body leg strengthening segment.  Finally you'll conclude with a very intense core workout!

 The time breakdown of  Turbo Barre is as follows ( warm up 10:41, upper/lower body muscle endurance 10:54, leg work with firewalker loops 6:37, ballet barre leg conditioning 27:31, floorwork 4:05, abs/core 7:34, stretch 7:42) - Total time 74 min.
