How do you feel about the results for your legs? I do a lot of barre (and LOVE what it does for my legs) but have tried some Pilates lately and really enjoyed it. I would say I like Pilates core work more than barre - but while the Pilates I’ve tried does incorporate glute work, I haven’t noticed much emphasis on legs…am I just not doing the right classes, or is it not much of an area of focus?
I realize this sounds like a ditzy topic lol. But I am actually interested! |

| I do Barre3 which incorporates barre and pilates (and yoga), hence the "3". We do a ton of floor work that focuses on glutes and hamstrings. The standing portion of the class has an equal emphasis on core, quads, and upper body What I really appreciate about our instructors is that as we're doing each movement they explain the reasons for doing that movement, and which muscles we're using to do that movement. |
