Pure torture

I haven’t been terribly motivated to workout lately, and this morning was no exception. Ish woke up at 5:15 all ready to run and I just rolled over and went back to sleep. (In case you haven’t been reading my blog for very long, that is NOT normal behavior) I did end up getting up about an hour later and decided that I should probably stop feeling sorry for myself (otherwise all my clothes won’t fit!), so I got up and decided that I needed a good tooshie-kicking. I decided on Pure Barre: Ballet, Dance & Pilates Fusion. I love barre workouts, and this one is BY FAR the most difficult one that I have. Yeah, Tracy Effinger’s Squeeze Stronger (fitness workout) is tough, but it’s NOTHING like the thigh work that is incorporated in Pure Barre. I think that I really just needed a workout to severely kick the shiitake out of me. I honestly have to say that I wish I would have run this morning, but if I had, I may not have been able to walk! My legs ache, my abs hurt and my shoulders feel like they’re gonna fall out of their sockets…but I think that a few more workouts like this will definitely help me refocus. If you enjoy any of the Bar Method workouts, I think you’ll really like Pure Barre: Ballet, Dance & Pilates Fusion. It’s a good “step up” for intensity, and even though the instructor keeps asking for “two more, please”, it’s worth it. Trust me (and my shaking legs!).
