It's Monday; Let's Talk Calories

Happy (belated) Mother's Day to all of the Mom's and Mom's to be out there. I hope you had an amazing day yesterday and got spoiled by your loved ones. I don't know about you, but the these past few weekends have been super busy. Talk about busy. Stacey and Ann Marie were non-stop on Saturday here in Baltimore. Shout out to all of the SB Barre and SB Body Barre instructors and members who participated in the videos filmed this past weekend at both Merritt Athletic Clubs Canton and BeachFit Baltimore. Amazing group of members and instructors made Saturday a huge success and I am super excited to see the videos and action shots.

Spreading the love with some dark chocolate on Mother's Day with some of my Sunday SB Barre ladies at Merritt White Marsh.

Oh and you can even bring your Mom or Grandmom to the club for FREE from now until May 31st. This is a perfect time to try an SB Barre class. Use this link to register.

Talk about being busy...these warmer temps have us all getting excited for summer. Rooftop parties, wine, pool bars, and happy hours seem to take priority which means less time for your sweat sessions. Feeling guilty after that glass of wine or cupcake? No worries...you can easily burn that off in a single barre class. A recent article that I read had people wear heart rate monitors or calorie 

counting devices to barre classes to track the number of calories burn. They reported a range of 300-600 calories burned in a hour long barre class. Believe it or not, barre classes are actually found to be anaerobic. Why is this great? Because you an expect to burn about 100 calories (or more) post-class. Keep in mind that things like your weight, fitness level, gender, age, most recent meal, level of barre class can effect the total calories burned during class. If you are an avid barre go-er, you are on track for getting in some major calorie burn each week so keep it up!!

So...no excuses. Get your booty to the barre and get ready for Summer. 

Have an amazing day!
