Belly Up To The Barre

Love getting in an early AM class at Pure Barre on Sundays.  Just a great way to kick start the day.  I headed over to the Highlands location for the 8:30am class.  Katy was the instructor.  After hitting the barre for inner and outer thigh work we did more mat work for glutes than I'd done in other classes.  I do like that the classes vary just slightly.

My favorite move we did today is basically when you belly up to the barre in a water ski position.  At the barre, heels together and high on toes. Standing close to the barre with knees slightly bent, one hand holding on to barre, lean back with other arm extended and hips lift high towards the barre.   You're in a water ski position and from here doing a series of lifts and tucks.  Tucks in that position are tough.  It's such a killer small isometric move.

Still not getting fully the abs series when you sit under the bar against the wall but that will come.  Love that the class ends with a 3 minute blast. Just when you think you're done doing lower back work and cat/cow stretch....here comes the blast!
