Known around the world for her role in ‘Sex and the City’, Sarah Jessica Parker has found in the sweep the magic formula to stay young and fit. The actress and producer, at 59 years old, continues to be quite a icon of style and well-being and much of the blame for this lies in her physical exercise routine, in which she introduces this discipline that combines classical dance with yoga and pilates. A practice that is already being practiced in Spain thanks to the benefits it offers to women over 50 years of age.
Barré: the exercise recommended for women over 50
The barré is an exercise method that seeks combination of classical dance posture with the strength and flexibility offered by yoga and pilates. It originated in New York, where it revolutionized fitness classes due to its ability to transform the body in just a few sessions. It is not surprising, therefore, that it soon became the favorite method of many celebrities, such as Sarah Jessica Parker, who discovered this exercise at the Physique 57 studio in The Big Apple.
The objective of barré and what makes it attractive is that it is a comprehensive discipline in which you not only tone up, but also improves posture, flexibility and cardiovascular endurance. This last part is vital in women who have already reached the menopause period, since at this stage there is a greater risk of developing cardiovascular problems if a healthy lifestyle is not followed.
The barre does not require impact, which is why it is also a safe and effective option for women with joint problems or who are looking for a less aggressive alternative to traditional cardiovascular exercise. Exercise sessions usually last 50 minutes and there can be two types. On the one hand, the I swept interval which aims to increase heart rate through dance, and on the other, the I swept resistance which focuses on toning different muscle groups.
Beyond the physical: the benefit in mental well-being
Barré not only helps transform the body, but also has a positive impact on emotional well-being. To carry out this discipline you need a great concentration. It is this that makes each movement performed consciously, enjoying the movement and thus disconnecting the mind from other intrusive thoughts or daily stress.
As is usual in the exercise, the barré also helps release endorphinshence improves mental and emotional well-being. That is why, increasingly, experts recommend the practice of this method, which is not only a simple training.
