I just got back from taking my first Barre class. This is a kind of hybrid of ballet positions, weight training, lots (and lots) of crunch-like motions, and a lot (lots) of leg lifts with giant rubber bands. Halfway through, I thought, "this is a nope". Now, I feel great.
The instructor (who must have been 60 if a day) came flying over after the class to tell me how great I did! She was very nice and had no problems with me taking a break, or modifying whatever we were doing. It reminded me a bit of the jazz and modern dance I did in high school, and being on the dance team. I felt like one powerful sister back then, and so much more in touch with my body. I'm gonna go for that again.
Of course, I flew right to Orema's post about exercise and sex up at the top. Well, if that ain't motivation, what is?
