Always Fun...Never Boring

Can you believe tomorrow is Friday which means we will have a FULL week of 2016 in the books? Take a moment to just breathe and remember...things take time so don't give up just yet. How is every one doing on their resolutions? Don't worry...I'll be checking in periodically to make sure we stay on track. Progress is progress not matter how small. Remember, the SB Community is here for you and we will continue to help each and every one of you make this year your healthiest one yet! We are already off to a great start and I'm so excited about growing this community even more this year. 

Because it's the start of a new year and many of you may be new to barre and to the blog, I wanted to do a little #TBT to when we talked about why you should take barre. (full post is here)

The major benefits of barre include:

• Improved posture, muscle definition, weight loss, increased flexibility and reduced stress
• Women (oh and men too) at just about any fitness level can take barre
• The strength training and cardio will allow you to burn fat and build muscle at the same time. In a lot of our choreography we have you working multiple muscle groups at the same time making it not only challenging, but gives you that "two (sometimes three) for one"
• Dramatically increases your core strength leading to a better posture and helps with preventing injuries
• Isometric movements are very effective and can often lead to higher strength gains than dynamic training. (Check out this article for more of the differences between the two)
• The time goes by SUPER fast due the fast pace, variety of exercises and upbeat music
• Most importantly...it's always fun and never boring

A huge shout out to the team at Beachfit Baltimore for crushing it on New Year's Day for another round of Triple Toning. It included 15 minutes of Body Barre (launched the brand new choreo for 2016), 15 minutes of Surfset and 15 minutes of Bootcamp. Antoine rocked is first Body Barre class and LOVED every minute of it!

As always, any feedback on the latest release and how we can continue to improve our program. We are working on some events in the coming months and would love to hear your ideas on ways we can continue to bring this community together to stay motivated in 2016!!!

Who's sweating with SoulBody this weekend?
