'Sculpt and elongate your body while having fun!'.A complete guide to the hottest new fitness program, Cardio Barre, a dance workout that combines cardio, strength, and stretching into one high-energy, fat-burning, body-stretching session. By also adding the right nutrition program, you will see life-changing results in just eight weeks. While yoga, Pilates, aerobics, and weightlifting are successful, popular fitness activities, each lacks what the others have to offer. And with our hectic lives leaving little time even for sleep, let alone hours of daily exercise,Cardio Barre is the perfect combination of cardio, strength training, and stretching, allowing you to achieve several desired results from one fast-paced class. Richard Giorla is a classically trained dancer who has spent decades learning that the key to strength and endurance lies in developing the core corset muscles - the center of our body, and they must be strong to support other parts of the body. In Cardio Barre, you work from the depths of your core, maintaining balance with the help of a barre, a table, a chair, or even relying on your strength to perform low-impact movements such as plies, arm extensions, and leg raises. Without hitting, jumping, or pushing this effective and fulfilling class will allow participants to gain long, toned muscles, improve flexibility, and build endurance. With the success of Cardio Barre in the US, where the approach has gained many famous fans and a long line of others, this program is poised to become a novelty around the world! Unlike fitness fads of the past, Cardio Barre sets realistic goals, including following a healthy eating plan, and offers you the opportunity to experience desired results in both cardio and strength — all in just eight weeks.After finishing a successful career as a dancer in New York (he was even a stripper!), Richard Giorla brought his 20 years of experience as a dancer and choreographer, a wealth of experience, and training classics to Los Angeles, where he introduced his new concept in fitness - Cardio Barre. The new product received rave reviews in national media, including Cosmo, People, LA Times, and CNN Headline News. Collaborates with Laurel House Publishing House as editor of Fit Magazine and Fit Yoga, freelance author of several publications on health and wellness.
