Justification of an Author’s Program for Correcting the Physical and Psycho-Emotional State of Women Aged 35–45 Using the Barre Fitness Program

Abstract

The aim of the study is to substantiate the author's program for correcting the physical and psycho-emotional state of women aged 35–45 through the use of the Barre fitness program. This age group often experiences physiological and psychological changes associated with the transitional stage of life, including increased fatigue, stress, decreased muscle tone, flexibility, and overall well-being. Therefore, the development and implementation of a targeted fitness intervention that holistically addresses both physical and emotional needs is especially relevant. Materials and Methods. The research employed theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature to explore the effectiveness of physical wellness interventions using the Barre fitness methodology. Pedagogical observation was also utilized to assess the organizational and methodological features of fitness sessions specifically designed for women aged 35–45. Results and Conclusions. The proposed author's program integrates elements of ballet, Pilates, yoga, strength, and cardio exercises, thereby creating a multi-faceted impact on the participants' bodies and minds. The structure of the program includes two main stages: preparatory and main. The preparatory stage is focused on gradually adapting the body to physical activity, developing essential motor skills, and forming sustainable internal motivation to continue training. It plays a critical role in ensuring a smooth transition to more intensive exercises while fostering confidence and engagement. The main stage is dedicated to the deeper development of movement techniques, improvement of physical qualities such as endurance, strength, flexibility, and balance, as well as addressing age-related physical and emotional changes. This stage is oriented not only on physical enhancement but also on stress reduction, emotional stabilization, and mood improvement. The training sessions are organized in a block format, which ensures a logical and progressive sequence of exercises targeting specific muscle groups. Workouts include upper body, lower body, and mat-based core exercises. The innovation of the program lies in its technological support,  which was used to provide educational materials, video demonstrations, motivation content, and individual feedback. This approach significantly increased participant engagement and contributed to the overall success of the program. The program demonstrated promising potential for improving both the physical condition and psycho-emotional well-being of women aged 35–45, confirming the relevance and effectiveness of integrating modern fitness technologies with a personalized, age-specific approach.
