Barre at home: a chair is all you need

Barre works small muscle groups with high repetition and tiny ranges of motion — pulses. That is why it burns.

Set-up

A sturdy chair, a mat, optionally light dumbbells or water bottles.

Three moves to try

• Plié pulses: heels together, toes out, lower and pulse.
• Arabesque lifts: hold the chair, lift the leg back, keep the hips square.
• Relevé holds: rise on the toes and hold, then pulse.

The Barre Sculpt 30 video puts it all together.
