Barre at Physique 57
Physique 57 is a 57 minute group exercise class that combines intervals of cardio, strength, stretching and recovery to sculpt your arms, thighs and abs and build gorgeous long lean muscle. The class incorporates isometric movements, a ballet barre and light weights to sculpt and tone your body. Every strength training exercise is followed by a series of stretches. It is also low impact so it is easy on your joints
The class is cardio, strength training and stretching, all in one, to upbeat music that helps you stay motivated. The ballet barre enables you to use your own body weight for resistance. This allows you to use many muscle groups simultaneously. Due to the nature of the exercises, you are always lengthening and strengthening the muscles with different rhythms and tempos which in turn create lean, supple muscle. The more lean muscle you have, the more calories you burn around the clock. Because you are using all your major muscle groups at the same time, it becomes an incredibly effective and efficient workout.
Staying true to the Ramadan spirit, Physique 57 welcomes late nights to the barre with class offerings at 9pm, 9.30pm and 10pm, in addition to plenty of day time options. Working out after a light Iftar, such as a handful of dates and almonds, can provide just the right amount of nutrients necessary to pulse through an evening session. However, there are still popular morning classes throughout the month of June (for early risers) alongside many afternoon classes just prior to Iftar, the latter being the perfect choice for those who enjoy working out just prior to breaking fast.
