Learn from my mistakes folks. I decided to give barre a try and silly me thought "A ballet workout? No sweat!" Boy was I wrong! In 60 minutes thebodybarre classes work each of your muscle groups to EXHAUSTION and then stretch them all out (well hello long lean muscles, where have you been all my life?). If you do it right you will definitely break a sweat. The instructors keep things interesting and no class is ever the same so it's always a challenge for your body (and booty). I attended classes for 3-5 days/week and started seeing some major changes after only a month! Still not convinced? Attend any class and you will see women of all ages who look absolutely phenomenal. If that isn't motivating, I don't know what is!
Helpful hints for your first barre class:
-Wear comfortable form fitting work out clothes (no shorts): the instructors need to see your muscles working in order to help correct your form
-Invest in a pair of "grippy" socks
-Check Groupon for first timer deals
-Make your class reservation online or by phone as some classes do fill up quick
-Arrive 15 minutes early to fill out paperwork and get a quick studio tour
-Get ready to feel muscles you never knew existed!
