I had some extra energy (yay for getting 5 straight hours of blissful sleep!) and was jonesing for a barre workout when I got home from work today. SO…I have been wanting to do the beginner version of Cardio Barre: Four Workouts on One DVD
, and as I was dragging out my barre (if you’ve never tried to maneuver a Fluidity barre at 6 months pregnant, you should be VERY proud of me!! That thing is AWKWARD and heavy!!) thought that I might share my thoughts (and a giveaway) with you, my loyal readers (you’re still out there, right??) I know that I have been VERY baby-obsessed the last six months, but I can’t really help that. I promise that after Tater gets here, you’ll hear all about me getting back into shape. Scout’s honor. Okay, moving on. So I finally got the barre set up (YAY!) and the DVD put in (note to self: move the DVD player to a higher location!!), and the Intro workout started. I have done the third and forth workouts before, and KNEW that I could not keep up…ummmm…yeah. I did okay. The workout is 144 bpm, which definitely got my heart pumping, and the moves were clearly explained. Some of the twisting I was unable to do for obvious reasons (and nothing on the floor…that heavens for my exercise ball!!), but I thought that it was a nice, short and to-the-point workout.
Now for the giveaway….I have a BRAND-SPANKIN-NEW Cardio Barre: Four Workouts on One DVD to giveaway! How do you enter, you may ask? Well, I’ll tell you.

Hello! It’s kind of funny, but we got pregnant within a month of each other. I am due at the end of June! I’m having a girl. I would love to get the Cardio Barre: Four Workouts on One DVD because it would really help me get back into shape after the baby comes. I’ve never tried it before, but you seem to love the Barre workouts and they seem to work really well.

Oooooohhhhhh! Pick me! Pick me! I found you by googling different barre workouts and I found you! I need this, as I desperately want to try Barre workouts and don’t have any.
Mellissa (who used to like high impact workouts, but has since seen the light!)
p.s. I bookmarked you!
I NEED a good workout I can do at home. The last two years of grad school while raising two kids has left me very out of shape.
I follow you on Twitter too!
And I’m your fan on FB! Because you’re just that awesome.
I would really love to be picked. I gave birth to my son 2 years ago and it has been a constant struggle trying to get my body back. I love love LOVE my beautiful child but I have to be honest and say my body image has taken a bit of a dive. I have been trying to do the barre workouts with a chair or againt a wall but it simply dosen’t compare. If I won, I tell you, it would totally make my day too.
P.S. I have really enjoyed your posts about your pregnancy. They bring back warm fuzzies for me about my own.
I am also now a fan of yours on FB.
