BOSU® Barre Strong Workshop

Description

Calling all barre-tenders...there's a new bar in town! Step away from the wall and learn flowing sequences in multiple body positions with the BOSU® Balance Trainer and Balance Bar. When held vertically, the weighted bar offers assistance and is a smart alternative to wall-mounted bars, maximizing space in any studio. Use the same bar as a resistance tool to create dynamic floor barre exercises that emphasize core connection and total body integration. A variety of flow progressions, set to music, stimulates both physical and cognitive fitness. Train barre smart with BOSU® Barre Strong!
