My favorite would have to be clamshell. I love to work those glutes like crazy-and it works the inner thighs and obliques as a bonus!
“Lace up those abdominals like a corset!” I love visual cues like this. It really helps me focus on how I need to squeeze in my core and hold my chest up like I’m proud to be in class!

I have never found an ab exercise that works my abs so deeply as High C Curl! Pressing my lower spine into the ball not only strengthens and tones my abs but helps me to find length in my lower back, and it’s become my favorite part of class.
I love when I can ask clients if they could sink “just one inch deeper” into a thigh exercise. Watching everyone simultaneously drop a little bit lower is so inspiring!

Chair! Just when I think we may have done ourselves in, I try to imagine sitting on a luxurious chaise filled with clouds instead. How can such a simple movement include the total body? From our calves all the way to our upper back and biceps, this one is sure to make you shake!

Wide second is my favorite because I feel it targets the quads, hamstrings, and inner thighs. Plus when you add some leaning and twisting you get to carve out those oblique muscles in the abdominals!
“Open your feet into a Smart v, like a slice of pizza”.. because it makes me think it’s ok to have a slice every once and a while when I work out at Smart Barre.
Kelley is a Fort Worth, Texas native and has been a fan of Smart Barre since she first discovered their barre workout in 2013. She fell in love with the ballet inspired moves and uplifting community of women- both elements leaving her physically and mentally stronger. Kelley holds a BFA in Musical Theatre from Elon University, is a National Academy of Sports Medicine certified Personal Trainer, and is a Barre, HIIT, and Cardio Certified instructor through Exhale in NYC. Her favorite Smart Barre move is tabletop glutes- so many variations and such a good burn! She can’t wait to empower you to accomplish your goals while making sure to have some fun!

I love to utilize wide second position because there are so many variations to the exercise and it gives you a nice stretch in your inner thighs.
“Keep your shoulders over your hips for a nice tall posture”… because standing a little taller can give you a feeling of pride which everyone should have after leaving a Smart Barre class!

I love combining “L” shape with clamshell on the mat, and adding the band as an extra challenge. This is great for toning your hips and gluts, making those pants slide on a little easier.
“Just one more eight count, you can do it!” Your muscles may be shaking and fatigued, but that little push at the end means you’ve done it and it’s almost over. Warning: this may include smiles, giggles and sigh of relief!

Chair is a love/hate relationship for me. I hate it because it’s outside my physical comfort zone. I love it because it challenges me mentally and reminds me that my body’s health is worth fighting for!
Thank yourselves for showing up to class and be confident in who YOU are!

There are so many that it’s hard to pick! Today, it’s a low c-curl crunch with hands behind the head raising the leg in attitude for pulses and twists.
