A New Addition to the Family

 

Since picking up running this year, I’ve also discovered barre workouts.  Barre workouts can be defined as a fat burning format of interval training using isometric exercises and physical therapy stretches to help create a longer and leaner body.  Unfortunately, where I live there are no barre studios or gyms that teach barre.  So, I use dvds!  Some of the dvds I use are Bar Method, P57, Pure Barre, and my newest find BalletBody.  I will touch more on my dvds later :)

Since barre workouts involve exercises similar to ballet, the exercises involve using a sturdy support to help with the exercises.  Before I was using a chair, but now I use a Fluidity Bar.

 

My Fluidity Bar is my most prized possession.  I love it.  In fact I have a name for my barre and it is called my “Maddy Barre”.  The reason why I call it Maddy is b/c if my husband and I ever did have a girl, we would’ve named her Madison.  Since the chances of us having a daughter is slim, I consider my Fluidity Bar my daughter.  Also because my barre does “mad” things to my body!  Thus “Maddy Barre”  LOL  I know you won’t get it, but my workout buddies at Fitness Freaks will enjoy my little joke!  You can learn more about the Fluidity Bar at www.fluiditybar.com
