Bring the gym home! 3 at-home barre exercises for glutes and thighs

HOUSTON – If you’re looking for easy exercises you can do at home without any expensive equipment, barre workouts can help you strengthen and sculpt muscles in a short and efficient workout.

Brittany Franklin Shimansky, master barre instructor and founder of the Britsbarre Virtual Studio, showed us an easy sequence that targets the lower body.

“This is an endurance-based workout so you should expect shaky muscles and the need to take breaks,” said Shimansky a former professional ballerina who discovered barre while rehabbing from a serious ankle injury. She became one of the most in-demand Master barre instructors in New York City where she trained hundreds of barre instructors around the country.

She returned home to Texas and founded Bristbarre virtual studio, a virtual barre experience designed to build endurance, inspire confidence, and motivate you to move.
