Trammell's Health & Fitness Tips - Health, Fitness, Nutrition & Training Tips to Keep you Healthy and Motivated

The Cardio Barre method, created by dancer and choreographer Richard Giorla, is a program that combines basic ballet movements with 1-3 pound free weights.

The majority of the class is spent at Snap Fitness in Lake Oswego at a ballet barre following a sequence of plies, tendus and leg lifts designed to get the heart rate up and sculpt longer, leaner muscles without any of the jumping or pounding that can cause joint stress.

The last 10-15 minutes of each class are devoted to the floor work to tone the abdominals, inner and outer thighs and glutes.

Many students swear by the results that cardio barre has helped them acieve and it is fast becoming a staple for fitness enthusiasts in urban markets.
