Q. Will barre n9ne® classes help me lose weight?
A. Yes, combined with maintaining a healthy moderate diet, you will lose weight and reshape your muscles. Our method focuses on strengthening and lengthening the muscles. The more muscle you have, the more calories you will burn all day. Our classes combine intervals where we speed up the heart rate during strengthening exercises and then slows down during stretching which is great for burning calories and therefore losing weight.
Q. How will barre n9ne® classes change my shape and tone my body?
A. barre workouts in general typically will trim down your body, especially around your thighs and glutes. Your muscles will first lift up and seem to be fuller. Because muscles are mostly composed of water, yours will absorb water as they become more active. As your muscles become denser, over a period of three-to-five months, they will also become more compact. Over time your muscles will firm up around their underlying bones, and the inter-muscular fat will burn away, revealing a trimmed down shape.
