When I was pregnant, I wanted to stay strong, maintain energy, and feel confident in my changing body. I am a pre/postnatal certified trainer, and I did prenatal barre exercises throughout my entire pregnancy. I even taught myself a class at home the night before I went into labor! Barre supported my body and provided the muscular endurance I needed for three unmedicated hours of labor.
That’s why I created Britsbarre, my online platform with prenatal barre workouts designed specifically for busy moms. Barre is low-impact, high-rep, endurance-based, making it ideal for training for labor. It strengthens key muscle groups while keeping joints safe and movements controlled.
Benefits of Prenatal Barre Workouts Online
Online barre workouts let you stay consistent, safe, and strong during pregnancy. They’re easy to fit into nap time, work breaks, or evenings, removing barriers to regular movement.
Why Barre Works During Pregnancy
- Low-impact movements protect your joints
- Endurance-focused, high-rep exercises build stamina for labor
- Strengthens glutes, thighs, core, and arms
- Improves posture and mobility
- Short workouts make consistency achievable
- Reduces risk of nausea, constipation, heartburn, indigestion, swelling, and varicose veins: While exercise won’t guarantee you will avoid these, it has been shown to improve circulation and digestion.
Convenience of At-Home Barre
- Fit barre into your day without commuting
- Work out during nap time, lunch breaks, or evenings
- Minimal equipment needed – a mat, weights, bands, ball and a chair or counter
How I Designed Britsbarre Prenatal Workouts for Maximum Safety and Results
Every prenatal barre workout in Britsbarre is programmed for safety, efficiency, and real results and almost all classes in the Britsbarre Virtual Studio include certified prenatal and postnatal modifications demonstrated. Memberships also include a trimester-by-trimester prenatal modifications video.
Full-Body and Targeted Formats
- Full-body barre workouts engage multiple muscle groups at once for efficiency
- Targeted formats focus on lower body, upper body, or upper and lower body

Endurance-Based Barre Training
Barre’s high-rep, low-impact movements build endurance while toning. This makes it perfect for preparing your body for labor. Consistent prenatal barre strengthens:
- Glutes and thighs for stability
- Core and pelvic floor for labor readiness
- Arms and shoulders for postpartum needs
Staying Safe and Confident During Pregnancy
Listening to your body is crucial. Every trimester brings changes, and movements should always feel supportive.
Tips for Safe Prenatal Barre
- Modify exercises to avoid strain on your core or pelvic floor
- Use elevated or supported variations for planks
- Skip or pause any movement that feels uncomfortable
Building Confidence
- Knowing which movements to avoid keeps you moving confidently
- Proper posture and alignment reduce risk
- Short, structured workouts maintain consistency without overexertion
Why Short Online Prenatal Barre Workouts Deliver Real Results
Even 15–20 minutes at home can make a difference when programmed for efficiency. Consistency beats duration:
- Builds strength and endurance gradually
- Tones glutes, legs, arms, and core
- Supports energy, mobility, and prenatal fitness goals
- Prepares your body for labor and postpartum recovery
