OH MY QUAD. Those were my thoughts in January of 2016 as I left my first barre class. I went to that first class just to see what the barre-hype was all about…and left signed up for life. Ha! I mean… even on vacation, I find a barre class to attend. Guess you could say that I am slightly obsessed. Now, I still love to walk around downtown, go out for a hike on a trail, kayak down a river, mountain bike in the woods {Shop til I drop. That counts, right?!} ….but none of them compare to barre. I am stronger than I’ve ever been or thought I could be after my accident because of barre. #barrestrong

Here’s why barre is beneficial to me:

1. It’s an amazing core workout. Yep, core.

2. It improves posture.

3. It has increased my flexibility. (Which was basically shot after skiing into a tree!)

4. It’s low impact.

5. It targets every muscle group.

6. It has a low injury risk. (Um, pretty high on my list of importance!!) #accidentprone

7. It’s helping my balance.

8. It’s FUN!

If there’s a studio in your town… Go hit the barre! It’ll give you a great excuse to buy new workout clothes {linked below} and I promise, you’ll start feeling stronger almost immediately.

Off I go…. It’s Barre o’clock somewhere!
