Western Slope Virtual Fitness Class - Barre

Join  AARP CO for an 6 week Virtual Barre Class in the comfort of your own  home. Certified fitness instructor, Shauni Hawkins will lead you each  week at 9 a.m., Mondays, February 27 - April 10, 2023. We will be taking a one week break the week of March 20, for spring break.

AARP  realizes that healthy habits, including exercise and eating right, can  lead to a better, longer, happier life. Barre is a fun fusion class, incorporating aspects of ballet, Pilates,  yoga, and strength training. All levels are welcome, and previous  experience in any of these formats is not required. In the class, we  combine small isolated movements with larger range of motion movements  for a high intensity, low impact workout. We will work to improve muscle  endurance, core strength, posture, balance, and flexibility.

Suggested equipment (and alternatives):
1. light dumbbells (or cans/water bottles)
2. small squishy playground ball (or small throw pillow/stuffed animal)
3. paper plate (on carpet) or small towel (on hard surface flooring)
4. loop resistance band (option to use no band)
5. chair without wheels
