Barre3

I've been a regular student of Barre3 since I tried it last May 13. A friend's Facebook status introduced me to it and I found the idea interesting. I was a student of ballet in my youth and spent a good part of my adolescent and teenage years in a dance studio. I was always working out as an adult, in the gym then in Pilates studios, but my workout life screeched to a halt as I dealt with major energy dips in my forties.

Still the urge to move was always there and I wanted to do something that was working at the cell level as well, so I got myself a good rebounder and started moving again. Pretty soon I was looking for something more. I was missing studio work, but couldn't see myself doing ballet again. Barre3 seemed like a good thing: pilates, yoga and ballet barre work in a one hour class.

So far, so good. I'm rediscovering my strength and enjoying the challenge. The classes in Alabang are still wide open and it's very nice to work out in the quiet. It's not a cardio workout, and I still have to add more of that to my routine, but for now it's just the kind of challenge I'm looking for. Check it out.
