Pure Barre During Pregnancy

5 Reasons I Love Pure Barre
Source So here’s five for your Friday….Pure Barre style! It’s 5 Reasons I Love Pure Barre! 1. Just an inch! Pure Barre is all about small isometric muscle movements.

Workout in Style
This summer, my workout routine has been pretty...routine. I typically aim to do 5 workouts a week, with 2-3 days being running, 1-2 days for Pure Barre classes, and another day is typically doing strength training at a group exercise class at work (i.e.- Muscle Scuplt or Tabata). I'm not really doing any training for anything, besides my 2014 schedule of races. I just discovered a free run club in the area and met up with a friend for their Tuesday speed workouts. I couldn't remember the Read More
