You guys! Barre is my newest obsession! I had a bad injury in Sept that put me out for weeks and returning after that was so painful that I just couldn't justify the membership anymore. I started doing Barre, pilates and yoga and still teaching zumba and I'm feeling really good. I'm probably not going to see my body change as quickly like you said aqualuv, but I feel like it's much more gentle on my body and sustainable.
With any good luck, in the next year or so I can quit my day job and become trained to teach barre and pilates forsomethingo to do while the girls are in school!
I want to try Barre - can I tag along sometime?
Heck yeah girl!!! I've been going to the new gym at Southlands, I think a single class is $10 maybe if you're not a member. Also there's an actual studio opening by Albertsons on Gun Club Rd called Barre Beauty and I'm excited to check them out when they open!
Barre is my favorite!! I have lost 37 pounds. Still have 23 to go Let me see if I can locate a before pic...
WHAT? That's awesome lady!! What have you been doing to lose? I still have some weight from my last baby to loose and it's proving to be tough this time around.
majick143 Pure Barre classes 5-6 days a week, cleaned up my diet, and 3 or 4 days of running. Baby weight is the worst I have 2 little boys so I feel ya.
Please don't quote because I am going to delete this, but these were taken this past summer. I started doing barre classes in June. My one year goal was 60 pounds :-)

Yes definitely! they don't have a weekend class at the gym I've been going to, at least not yet. But there is a Wed 5:30 and Thursday 6:45. I'm hoping the new studio will be affordable and have more options. Just let me know when!
melmo1122 You make me want to try the leopard slide ons again I tried them on last weekend and I just felt like they weren't me. I want to love them on me but I don't. I love them on everyone else though. [/quote]
The first time I bought them in my normal size and a half size up and I couldn't even get my foot in them. 2 weeks ago I found 10s on the clearance for $30 at lord and taylor so for that price I will learn to love them I'm getting more use out of them than I thought I would.
runmama I freaking LOVE barre. My local barre studio has been closed for like a year b/c they are moving to a new space and expanding. I miss barre so much. Although I didn't see a ton of outward changes I know I was getting stronger.

You can totally do it. That sounds awesome and sounds like something you would enjoy doing. The girls that own the barre studio that I went to, quit their FT jobs to open the studio. Within a year they were doing well enough to stop renting space from a yoga studio and build their own studio in a pretty expensive part of town. Pretty amazing!

Wow! Now that's encouraging!! I would love to do that! This may be worth some further investigation!
This was yesterday out shopping with the baby. Top is new from Express. I really like it, but it is pretty boxy. I'm not willowy enough to pull off this look completely, but I'll make it work because I like the style so much lol.
I also bought a bunch of new workout stuff from TJ Maxx. I might post a pic later.
You totally rocked this shirt, don't be silly!!! I have it as well...sooo soft, one of my new favorites!
