I attended my second barre class, and I feel like the hellaciousness was reduced significantly from last week. Then again, the instructor had stated that last week was nearly impossible for even her and that maaaaybe modifications would be made so no one would die of over-exertion. True story.
This was not easy but it was easier than last week. I was at least cognizant enough to notice this time that the room was full of mirrors so I could see how absolutely freaking ridiculous I looked. When things got tough, I started laughing hysterically. I don’t know if it was because I looked such a mess or if all the working out had made me actually lose my mind. I would be concerned except my burst of manic laughter effected the whole back row and sent the rest of them into hysterics as well. Apparently we were all off our rockers by the time the instructor told us to plank and lift weights at the same time.
I still had sweat dripping down my face and my body is totally sore in good way today. I’m looking forward to the next couple of classes and maybe getting some toned arms one day!
Oh and a small confession: I totally came home and ate a blueberry pie with tons of whipped cream after the class. I really need to find better snacks after exercising!
Read up on my first class here: I Joined a Barre Class
I’ve been on a smoothie kick with blueberries (and bananas and strawberries recently with collagen protein, and I’m suddenly feeling I might have a blog post in me on this), but you know what? Who cares if you go for the blueberry pie? Your muscles are thankful for the barre class either way.
YOU ARE EXACTY THE KIND OF PERSON I NEED IN MY LIFE! You’re right, who cares if I went for the blueberry pie? It could be worse… I could’ve eaten truffles. At least blueberries in their raw form provide some sort of health benefit, right?
Thank you for coming on by. I really need to give smoothies a chance!
Mirrors would kill me as I do don’t want to know what I really look like while exercising!! Just let me keep the picture I have in my head🤣
I pretend I am a goddess. The sweaty reflection does nothing to reinforce that!
Oh! You answered all my questions from you first Barre post. Oops!! Sorry!! Glad this class went way better. 😀
I still think it’s a miracle when I am able to walk away from these classes! I’m so impressed that I actually don’t collapse on my way to the car!
