Ballet barre

BEST FOR: CORE STRENGTH, TONED LEGS AND GLUTES

This low-impact workout combines the principles of ballet with moves from yoga, Pilates and strength training. The aim is to work specific muscles in small-range movements until you feel the burn. ‘Ballet barre tones muscles deeply,’ says Emma. ‘This is followed by stretches to elongate the muscle group that has just been worked.’

GET STARTED: Make your kitchen worktop, stair rail or the back of a chair your barre. Kathryn Morgan’s free channel on Youtube provides taster classes for beginners.
