How to Do a Barre Class in Your Kitchen With No Equipment But Your Countertop

To kick off the new year, SheKnows is launching its first-ever self-care digital issue. As part of the issue, Brooke Burke hosted a 20-minute barre workout you can do barefoot in your kitchen. No equipment needed.

“I spend most of my time in my kitchen. This is the nucleus of my family,” said Burke from her home in California. While the mom of four has been juggling the responsibilities of parenting and career at home, she hasn’t skipped a beat when it comes to taking time to break a sweat.

Burke told SheKnows: “As my pace has slowed during Covid quarantine, my awareness and relearning about physical wellness has deepened. Home workouts have shifted into creative and fun ways to break a sweat. I have choreographed kitchen towel burns, kitchen-counter barre classes, total body sofa burns, and community sweat sessions in my backyard.” She added, ” . . . It’s more important now than ever to take care of our body, balance stress, and build immunity.”
