15-Minute Cardio Barre For a Strong Foundation

Barre doesn't always have to be low-impact. In this 15-minute workout, M/Body founder Marnie Alton amps up the intensity of your typical barre workout with bursts of feel-good cardio. While you'll still feel the burn of a traditional barre class, expect to also get your blood flowing and your heart racing, with dynamic moves like pulsing squats and jumping lunges. Whether you tend to get bored in workout classes, or you're just tired of the same old moves, this is just what you need to switch it up. After all, it's not every day you get to flow into tendus, travel through dégagés, and leap into energetic arm swings. In just 15 minutes, you'll start to build all-over strength while getting your daily dose of cardio — all you need is a mat to follow along from home. As you build your own foundation, make sure your makeup is just as strong. Our PS Fit instructors swear by Estée Lauder's new Double Wear Foundation — a breathable, buildable longwear matte with for those sweatier workouts. This foundation can keep up with it all, including high relevés and deep pliés. 49476528 Chandler Plante (she/her) is a social producer and staff writer for the Health & Fitness team at Popsugar.
