Do you spend long hours sitting in front of the computer or commuting? Our modern lifestyle, for the most part, is not focused around movement – it’s quite the opposite. We have become a culture of sitters. Health experts now say sitting is the new smoking. As a result: key muscle groups suffer from a lack of daily use, causing them to become weak.
Tru Barre Studio offers a solution to poor posture and imbalances in our bodies. The Tru Barre workout is designed to undo the damage caused by our bad postural patterns and inactivity. Barre exercises strengthen those muscles that are weakened by sitting and slouching.
What happens When We Sit Too Long?
Sitting causes the gluteal muscles to stretch, putting them in a lengthened state and leaves them weak. Core muscles become weak from prolonged sitting and cause a lot of the low back pain epidemic that is present in our culture today.
How Can I Undo The Damage?
At Tru Barre, the body alignment we create in our poses allows the muscles to work deeply. We use light weights to target the muscles of the upper, side and mid-back. We also take time after each strength interval to stretch the muscles. Stretching the muscles when they are warm improves flexibility and helps you move with freedom throughout the rest of your day.
We understand each day you will feel different. Honor your body and don’t take it to a place it isn’t ready for. Listen to your own body wisdom. There is no destination with barre. Barre is a life-long journey. We are here to guide you on your journey and bring out your best you!
