Went to my first ever 'Barre Attack' class at my gym, and let me tell you: I was feeling the burn within the first few minutes! Wow, this was quite intense (like camping) - far from the 'relaxed/stretching sort of class' that in my head I had imagined it would be (and I never get enough stretching in usually, so thought this would be a good opportunity to do so). It featured lots of squats, plies, and lunges, all whilst using the barre, some old-school ballet moves/terminology and a dubious looking (at first) latex band/rope. I tell you, it had been a while since someone had directed me to be in 'first position' and 'second position' etc, but there is something SO much fun about rekindling your childhood ballet days! Yet, in a burning, aching way....
Enjoy your week!
