Xtend Barre in Rancho Cucamonga now offers a new, vigorous workout that combines serious sculpting exercises at the ballet barre with lively music and an abundance of energy.

The workouts are packed with isometric exercises that make guns, buns, abs — and everything else — scream with delight. The toning is paired with orthopedic stretches that elongate the muscles.

The result is a strong, sculpted, dancer-like body without unwanted bulk, as well as increased stamina and flexibility. Each class is a full-body emersion that lasts 55 minutes with results that show quickly.

“People love that they are in and out in less than an hour and that they are guaranteed a full-body chisel — and stretch,” says Cara Hipwell, owner of Xtend Barre Rancho Cucamonga.

Created by former dancer and choreographer Andrea Rogers, the Xtend Barre Workout combines exercises at a professional ballet barre with precise concentrated movements to target small muscle groups. Plies, releves and a series of cardio exercises are combined with traditional principals as well as light weight training. The focus is on shaping muscles by first increasing muscle strength and then lengthening the muscles by stretching.

Xtend Barre is at 9090 Milliken Ave., Ste. 140, Rancho Cucamonga. For more information, visit xtendbarre.com.
