Pure Inflexibility

A couple of weeks ago, one of my girl friends recommended that we go try a Pure Barre class together. I had heard of it, but I didn't know there was one close by so I decided to give it a go. We signed up for a Saturday class and I was ready for it. I even did a little research beforehand and decided, "Hey, how hard can it be? It looks super easy... I bet I could even teach that class!"



Well let me just tell you how wrong I was about that statement! (insert shame face here)

Within the first 10 minutes, every muscle in my body was shaking uncontrollably! I tried my best to look natural  in front of all of the other supermodelesque students, but it's pretty hard to look cute when your entire body appears to be having a seizure! The instructor kept coming over to me, bending and stretching my body in unimaginable ways and she was even so sweet to say, "You're doing great! You're doing better than most new students!" I then proceeded to ask her if most new students left in an ambulance because I was not doing great and we might need to go on ahead and give 911 a ring.



But I have to say I felt phenomenal afterwards! It was a whole new kind of high. It was a super HARD class, but instead of needing an EMT I felt more awake, taller even, and ready to face the rest of the day!



I decided to sign up for a month of classes (warning: they are not for the faint of wallet). I have been about a half a dozen times and believe it or not, I am feeling results! Also for the first time in a long time, I am excited about exercising! I look forward to getting there and challenging myself more with each class. I'll try to do a full review once my month runs out, but so far I would definitely recommend it!
