Should I do cardio exercises along with the Bar Method?

Three or four Bar Method classes a week is all you need to be fit and healthy, because the workout includes all the key elements of fitness: strength, flexibility and stamina.

Avoid running, however, unless you absolutely can’t live without it. Running strengthens your heart and lungs, but over the long term it beats up your knees, hips, back and face.
