More than half a million people have transformed their bodies at exhale, the exclusive mind body spa. Now you can get these same results at home. As creators of Core Fusion, Elisabeth Halfpapp and Fred DeVito are more than just fitness experts: they've been innovators and leaders in the barre technique for over 30 years. BARRE BASICS FOR BEGINNERS draws on their extensive knowledge for an incredible toning and strengthening workout.

These seven 10-minute workouts target all of your muscle groups, giving you lean legs, lifted gluteus, flat abs, and improved strength and flexibility. Specially selected by Fred and Elisabeth from their popular programs, each of the workouts features a detailed tutorial that explains correct poses, alignment, and movements. BARRE BASICS FOR BEGINNERS, you can be confident that you're learning from the best.

Each of the seven segments uses a single targeted exercise (e.g. “Turned out thighs” or “Gluteal sculpt”). Every section includes a quick warm-up and soothing stretch so it's easy to focus on your personal “trouble spots.” In addition, the DVD also has optional pre-segment tutorials that teach the proper technique for each series. Five of the segments are “barre” exercises — standing ballet-style moves that use the back of a chair for support. The other two sections feature Pilates and gym-type floorwork. Quiet music and very detailed cuing.

Compilation released in 2013 from programs originally copyrighted in 2008 and 2009.
