Elise Joan Tries Her Toughest Barre Blend Workout | Beachbody

What does it look like when a Beachbody Super Trainer challenges themselves to their toughest workout?

Elise Joan, creator of Barre Blend, put herself to the test and BODlife captured it all.

So which routine did Elise pick as the hardest? Drumroll please: Phase 4, Week 8: Cardio Blend. For those who haven’t tried it yet, Cardio Blend is a high-energy, heart-pumping class that helps you burn fat fast while increasing strength and definition all over. Or as Elise puts it, “cardio really kicks my booty.”

The Super Trainer’s self-training session started off with weights and Elise’s signature affirmation in the warm-up. Confidence was the word of the day. But don’t let the feel-good vibes fool you. You will feel the burn during this full-body sculpting routine.

Watch Elise struggle (just like the rest of us!) as she sweats through this high intensity 40-minute routine and shares her thoughts on why Barre Blend’s Cardio Blend is such an effective workout.

This makes my trepidation on starting Barre Blend a little less! It's kind of comforting to know the trainers even have a hard time with their own workouts! Thank you so much!

[kimberlygoldston]

Lol I love how you're talking to yourself on tv. Ok Elise I need a break.. Love this video

[clairn]

Elise you do make me laugh! How do you teach without losing breath but when you follow yourself you're like us! And I love your dog helping out! Ha ha my cat likes to head boop my ankles when I'm trying to releve! Anyway you're a great teacher and I love how you inspire us when it feels so tough and you just want to stop. 8 more!! Thank you!

I loved herself almost mad at her past self for not giving herself a break.

It's why I love these workouts. Its inspiring to preview what week 8 will look like.

[jenniferwatson]

I have so much respect for this. I love it when the instructors kick their own butt.

[peppylemon]

i love how cut she is. I wish she would give her own specific nutrition advice and not the general one thats included in beachbody. she looks so different from everyone else in her class.

I’m so excited for Barre Blend to be on BOD in a couple of weeks!

[keirabrooks]

I AM ON WEEK 2 AND YOU ARE AMAZING. I can't believe you can talk with not being out of breath for the entire class. GOALS!!

[krystaleva]

I love these videos!!! I want to see one with Jericho McMatthews!!

[Eleanya]

Elise is the best!!! I love barre blend!

[catherinefairweather]

I love that she has to drop weights. I sometimes feel like a total failure in these workouts.

[AnnieBrackett]

Hahaha! I love this. I started Barre Blend today and I it

[NeuroSpicyMomOf]

I just started my first week of barre blend and im def getting my booty kicked! Today is my week 1 cardio day so hopefully i can pull through! Love your workouts!

[judyandrews]

You are beautiful Elise
I just turned 65, broken foot and back surgery. I recently lost 30 plus pounds. This is my 3rd week on week one. Getting stronger before I move onto week 2. I might start Monday or do 1 more of week one before I move on. Hey, I am getting there just a little slower, but getting stronger with evey workout

[angiestar]

I did this one today. I had to take a few breaks, but I finally made it through.

[Jusyasm]

Omg what a relief to see she is sweating and panting like the rest of us lol I was starting to think she was super human or something😆

[sylverista]

I love Barre Blend workouts and I finished 4th week but I have a horrible low back pain !!! It’s very surprising as I never had this doing other programs T25, Insanity, Insanity30 max, 21 days Fix, Brazil Butt lift, and many others. I did my research and there are many other people having this problem. I’m very sad 😢 I will try yoga lower back stretching to see if it helps.

[cathrinelabuschagne]

Do you have video for beginners starting out ? Also with knee pain, not often, very rare, climbing,

[KristinWhitehead]

Haha now I don't feel so bad about all of the times I toss my weights down mid-workout

[FootieChick]

Great - this is tomorrows workout! LOL
