"Well, how high does your perceived heart rate go up when you do the barre?"
It doesn't go up at all. It actually takes A LOT to increase my heart rate, (which is why Brian and I can't really do the gym thing together).
"you feel a burn (love that lactic acid) then it's definitely strenght."
Oh, its definitely burny (oftentimes my muscles get to that vibratey point at the barre, and its common to have a few cramps either in my calves or in the arch of my foot at points where there's a lot of repetition in movements and not enough let down). Its so burny in fact, that I'm often sore on Sunday from the workout (in that 'I worked hard' sort of way, not that 'I hurt myself' way) hence, why its such a kick butt class! You'll usually find me walking around the house saying "ow, my butt hurts" and walking veeeery slowly! :)
cardio vs. strength
