Pure Barre

PURE BARRE 💪

I’m ending my fitness tour at one of the most challenging workouts (for me, personally 😅).

Pure Barre is a nationwide favorite because of its low-impact toning method using isometric holds, resistance, small movements, and a crap load of mental stamina 😆

Listen. I did not grow up very athletic 😂 You can ask me all about it sometime, but I have had to, in my adulthood, build up flexibility and endurance. So a class where you hold graceful poses for minutes at a time was HARD. I was shaking…and that’s the point! One of their mottos is “embrace the shake” because it means it’s working 🔥

The class uses bands, balls, light weights, and body weight. You’re guided through small movements and poses using these items…and if your body isn’t use to this stuff, it’s a CHALLENGE. But you get used to it! You build toned muscle over time and you’re able to gradually increase your movements and weight.

I mean all this “omg it’s hard” stuff nicely. In fact, I used to go to Pure Barre in my younger days…before kids…when I had some semblance of core muscles 😂 So I can say with total assurance that it does get easier. All in all, this was the lowest-impact workout I tried out over the last month, but definitely one of the hardest!

There are varying class levels depending on your abilities, some involving more resistance and some intending to get your heart rate up more.
