Let’s talk fitness accessories!
Accessories make everything more fun and we love to use them in UpBeat Barre and HighYO.
YOGA MAT:
I prefer a thicker mat with more cushion. I suggest bringing your own, but I do have a few extras at the studio if you forget yours!
BARRE SOCKS:
My favorite are . They have some grip on the bottom, but not so much grip that it is hard to move. You can also go barefoot if you prefer. Regular socks are too slippery and won’t work.
WEIGHTS:
Most of the UpBeat Barre playlist includes weights to incorporate resistance training. I have 2 LB weights at the studio, but you can also bring your own if you prefer lighter or heavier weights. (I wouldn’t recommend more than 5 LBS.)
RESISTANCE BAND:
We use the band to target certain muscles in UpBeat Barre. I have extra light and light bands at the studio, but you can bring your own if you prefer more resistance.
BALL:
The ball is a fun way to add some instability, engage your upper body when we aren’t using weight and activate your core. I have balls at the studio, but you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer.
YOGA BLOCK (not pictured):
A yoga block is a great option to modify poses in HighYO and UpBeat Barre. I do not have any at the studio, so if you want this option, bring it from home!
