    Some barre classes are cardio specific. barre3 is not a standard cardiovascular workout, but there are portions of class that get the heart rate up and are heart healthy.

    Some barre classes are held in a circuit style format that keeps you moving. So yes, there is a cardio component. If you’re thinking about taking up a class – speak to the instructor first so you can get a sense of the class format.
