Combining Barre Workout with Other Workouts

Has anyone combined strength workout like Les Mills Pump with Barre workouts? Is it really needed or will I get the same type of lean muscle results with just the Barre? I have added in cardio only for right now.

  • You won't get the same lean muscle results with just barre, IMHO. I would think if that's what you're going for, you need to do a few times a week of actual weight work. I've done a few barre classes and they are AWESOME! But I didn't feel like I got the same muscle results as just doing weights at the gym.
  • I do pilates and barre to supplement running and I've definitely getting toned - I think this is because they incorporate weights for the arm series in my class (maybe every barre class does this, idk). I also do planks everyday, but that's my only strength right now.

    What barre classes are you taking or are you doing DVDs?
