The bar on the ground, but still?
Once the prerogative of only classical dancers, the floor bar is now a practice accessible to all, increasingly widespread. A good way to test its flexibility therefore. Because yes, ease and flexibility are the key words of this training that can be practiced as a soft gym. The floor bar, gym or dance? This is practiced without a bar, on the ground (as its name suggests). To understand what it is, you should know that the word "bar" refers to the long wooden rod to which the dancers hold to learn the movements… without falling! Nothing to do with the dark memories of middle school/high school PE classes where the floor bar was a haunting for most of us. The "floor bar" is the transposition to the ground of movements usually performed standing in support. For professionals, it is a warm-up that prepares the muscles and joints for dance steps. And to place their body well without the constraint of gravity. For amateurs like you and me, it is a fun way to soften, to build muscle while respecting the anatomy of the body. It is also the way to correct bad postures and relieve many injuries! Goodbye osteopathy and chiropractic! Well and then… It is an activity (which makes you lose weight! Not in weight, but in centimeters) which changes the silhouette … Because if we muscle, we do it in the manner of dancers, stretching the toes, hands, head and muscles develop lengthwise, not in thickness or volume. I don't know about you, but I'm already conquered! Apparently, you don't have to be professional or have danced when you were little to start the floor bar. Good. Here I am saved because flexibility level I am approximately at level zero.
