Gettin' Fit & Healthy with Rickie

Have you considered...Barre?     I am sure you have all heard about Barre workouts but did you know that an exercise barre is not required for these workouts. You also do not need to be a ballerina. Barre is a great low impact workout. If you are looking to enhance flexibility, improve posture, strengthen & stabilize small and large muscle groups this may be just what you need.      If you have a  chair or stool with a high back you've got your barre.  With that said there are barre workouts that do not require a barre, you just need some floor space, maybe a mat, always a towel and a bottle of water.       Click the link below for a 30 minute 'No Barre' Barre workout to add some variety to your fitness program.
