This Barre Body At-Home Workout Is Epic For Quaran-Toning

WFH? We’ve got you covered. Here is a fun and easy ISO workout that you can do without any equipment at all. All you’ll need is your body (not much of a workout without it!) and a smile.

You will repeat this while sequence twice, first on one side and then on the other.

Let’s do this.

Move 1 – Second position plié

Start in a wide stance with your feet in a turn out position (imagine 10am and 2pm on a clock).
Bend your knees, making sure they stack over your toes as you bend into a pilé.
Rise back up to straight legs.
Repeat 10 x slowly, 10 x at regular pace, and then finish with 10 little pulses at the bottom.

Move 2 – Standing arabesque

Stand on profile with your hands on your hips. Bend both knees and step on foot back, pointing the toe.
Engage your abdominal muscles and gently tuck your tailbone slightly.
Lift and lower the leg slowly.
Repeat 10 x slowly, 10 x at regular pace, and then finish with 10 little pulses at the top.

Move 3 – Heel pulls

Staying in the position you were just in (move 2), bend your knee and pull your heel towards your bottom.
Extend the leg to straight again.
Repeat 10 x slowly (2:2 count) and 10 x with a single count.

Move 4 – Knee bend flow

Staying in the position you were just in (move 3), bend deeper into your standing leg and bring your back knee to meet your front knee.
2. Stand up a little taller and stretch your back leg behind you to straight
3. Repeat 10 x slowly and 10 x at regular pace.

Move 5 – Reach and pull

Staying in the position you were just in (move 4), reach your arms and leg long into a balance.
Pull your arms and knee back into a tuck position.
Repeat 10 x slowly, 10 x at regular pace, and then finish with 10 little pulses in the tuck position.

Move 6 – Lunge

Step back into a lunge position.
Lower your back leg so it hovers just off the floor and reach your arms to the sky.
Rise back up to standing and bring your arms back to your side.
Repeat 10 x slowly and 10 x at regular pace.

Move 7 – Lunge pulses

Stay in the lunge position.
Drop your back knee down so it just hovers off the floor and do a tiny pulse down and up.
Repeat 10 x slowly and 10 x at regular pace.

You should be feeling a crazy burn right about now, and guess what? Now you have to repeat the whole sequence again on the other side. Have fun!
