Resistance Bands & Barre with Ilysa Cohen SUMMER #2

NEW BARRE & Resistance Bands Class! This class will mainly be BARRE! n Barre is perfect for our older adults. The small range of motion exercises that barre is known for also helps those who have limited range of movement, along with easily adaptable modifications. Because an actual ballet barre is used, it allows for a greater sense of stability. As we age, our balance is often compromised, causing falls. Some barre exercises are done standing on one leg, which allows balance skills to be tested and strengthened, improving one’s stability. Cognitive skills are also engaged throughout class with varying exercises, directions and intentions.n Lastly, adding a barre class to your weekly routine gives you something to look forward to, along with a sense of community. And just like with any sort of fitness routine, attending barre even just once a week can help significantly improve mood.n
