This past week I started my new workout routine. I've been running for way to many years (With the add of weights and a workout video) I decided it was time to try something new. And...what better time than right before summer and swimsuit season. On Monday I attended my first pure barre class, it was intense and pushed me to a new level. The pain I felt the next two days only got me excited about my return on Friday. Their concept is simple utilize the ballet barre to perform small isometric movements. Most people freak out when they feel their muscles start to shake but, this actually means that your muscles are reaching the point of fatigue, which is actually a good thing! The plan is to continue to run daily with the add of pure barre 2-3 times a week. Summer is just around the corner with just 7 weeks of school left for myself and the boys. Bring on the sun, pool and bikinis...
