| - So, on a colleague's suggestion I stepped totally outside of my comfort zone last night and went to a 60 minutes "Barreworks Mixed Level" Class, taught by Micaiah.
The class went as follows:
Enter the dance studio with a number of other ladies who ALL look more fit, more toned, and more dance-y than I do
Get totally intimidated by the amazingly lithe, upbeat and friendly instructor
Grab weighted balls and a resistance band.
Hope, prance, leap, squat, kick, crunch, jump, turn and DON'T FAINT for the next hour.
In all honesty, this class was an amazing workout combining cardio, toning, strength and core work. This morning my legs are BURNING, and I feel surprisingly great (despite feigning death last night).
My only "complaint" are that these classes run
Single Class $21
5 Class $95
10 Class $170
20 Class $320
1 month unlimited $199
So.. not the cheapest work-out option, but definitely one that is fun, high-tempo, full of women, and taught by really great instructors.
I will definitely go back as a treat to myself from time to time, but the cost (for me at least, who already has a yoga AND gym pass elsewhere) is prohibitive to make it a daily endeavour.
