Legs and Booty Barre
As you work through the sequence with me, you’ll not only be sculpting amazing definition but strengthening muscles that are often underused and underdeveloped.
As we slow things down, this a great opportunity to be super mindful of your form and keep your core engaged -belly button coming in and up, shoulders rolled back and knees tracking in line with your toes.
