[quote=Anonymous]NP here. I'm familiar with barre, but I agree with PPs that it doesn't accomplish the same thing as weight lifting. I also actually think that it's better to not even use weights for the kind of things that barre does. Bodyweight exercises, core work, that kind of thing is best done without weights. Same with yoga and barre. Because the endless repetitions mean that invariably, you will lose form. So then you actually increase the risk of injury even with the dinky 5 pounds weights, especially when it comes to your shoulders. If you are going to use weights, I personally think it's actually safer to lift heavier weights with a more reasonable amount of repetitions and the appropriate rest in between sets. Barre and bodyweight stuff has its benefits, and frankly, it's good to do a variety of stuff. [/quote]
