Will XBarre help me lose weight?
Good nutrition and fitness go hand-in-hand in terms of weight loss. And remember – at XBarre, we are all about being strong not skinny.
While exercising is a key factor in any weight-loss regime, nutrition and daily intake also contribute greatly.
XBarre believes exercise should focus on becoming stronger and more healthy.
Yes, you will burn calories during each and every class and due to the strength training component, you will continue to burn calories throughout the day. Which will in turn result in I losing weight – but again, only if you are embracing healthy eating habits.
Please keep in mind that peri/menopause often causes weight gain, particularly around the mid-section, due to declining estrogen levels, which affects fat distribution and sleep. While hormonal shifts are a major factor, other contributors include slowing metabolism, loss of muscle, sleep disruption and increased stress. Our XBarre classes are designed to build muscle mass and increase bone density through strength training. Remember – longevity and independence is our goal!
And for clients using GLP-1 medications, the benefits of fitness include enhanced weight loss, improved blood glucose control, muscle and bone preservation (essential in peri/menopausal clients) and improved mood.
XBarre wants you to feel empowered, stronger, more clear-headed and balanced every time you leave here.
