Now, I'm obsessed with barre3. It's an amazing workout! It's a combination of pilates, yoga and ballet and it incorporates small, light weights, a ball, strap and the ballet barre. It's truly the only workout that I never get sick of doing and I literally can hardly walk the next day, it's so challenging. As the owner put it to me when I was nervous to take my first class, "No matter how fit (or not fit) you are, you can do it...but it will totally kick your ass!"
Barre3 was started by a gal here in Portland, so if you're local, definitely sign up, there's a studio in the Pearl and in SE. If you're not living in Portland, there are classes popping up everywhere that incorporate the ballet barre and I urge you to give it a shot! You won't regret it! Bathing suit season is upon us and it's time to Get in Shape, Girls!
haha!!! i totally had "get in shape girl" too! forgot all about it.. i was pro with that ribbon stick! ha.
ReplyDeletei need to try barre3 - two of the girls i work with go and say the same thing. i want to go with you to one when i'm up there!

ReplyDeletetaryn, i just looked it up and found a place in SD. it's down in liberty station though.
krissy, i LOVE this! thank you SO much... i think i'm gonna try it!
Yeah, it's awesome, the goal is small, long, lean muscles and the people who have been doing it for awhile have amazing bodies!!
ReplyDeleteI totally remember Get in Shape, Girl! I wouldn't be surprised if the cassettes were still floating around my basement somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI need to try this barre3 thing. It looks phenomenal -- my favorites all in one. If they don't have one in my area, I just may sign up for a class of each.
Krissy, I think I still have your "get in shape girl" stuff in the attic. Ya want it?
