About this class

Boom Boom Barre is a fusion of ballet-inspired movements and dynamic exercises designed to strengthen your booty, legs, inner thighs and core. Beginning at the barre, this class focuses on building leg strength through a series of targeted exercises. As the intensity picks up, incorporate dynamic pendulum swings to ignite and activate the glutes. End the session with a powerful ‘boom boom’ finale, leaving you feeling energised, empowered, and ready to conquer the day! Wow is the word! You’ll need a chair, bench or railing for this class. P.s. Carla was 24 weeks pregnant when we created this class.

Alignment notes

If you find the hinge movement too much for your lower back or balance, you can rest your forearms on the barre and skip the hinging upward movement. If you do try the hinge movement, ensure you’re not dumping into the lower back. You want to keep your abs engaged and the work happening in your glutes (your booty), abs and legs.
