so I did it. I took the plunge. I went to my first pure barre class last week.
can I tell you that I'm totally obsessed now?
holy balls, it was one of the best workouts I've ever had. and that's saying a lot. I feel like I've done every kind of workout known to man (except for CrossFit...and I straight up refuse to do CrossFit. my reasons are my own...that's for another blog post).
so in addition to my two Zumba classes a week and my running, I wanted to do something to really target my muscles and start toning those bad boys. now that I'm officially in my thirties, it's time to kick up the workout routine a notch...or 7.
so my cousins convinced to me to hop on the barre and give it a whirl. both Katie and Ali are pure barre fanatics (Ali even teaches it). they couldn't have been more right about how your body feels after a pure barre class.
pure barre focuses on teeny tiny little muscle groups (arms, thighs, seat and abs) and forces you to concentrate as you work one muscle at a time. I totally got lost in concentration (a new phenomenon for me) and before I knew it, the hour was up. my muscles have never shook as much as they did during that hour, and I felt so great after.
so I'm hooked. officially. if you're looking for me in the mornings, check out pure barre carmel, because that's where I'll be.
