Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday!
Have you heard of Pure Barre? It is an exercises program that I just got on.
I did Pilates a lot and definitely saw progress, but I gained a lot of weight with my two pregnancies and I felt discouraged because it just wasn't coming off as quickly as I wanted it to. So... I searched the web for some better work out programs.
Facebook actually made me stumble upon Pure Barre in one of its adds (Yes, people actually click on them; I am one of them, lol). I went to the Pure Barre website and decided I wanted to try it but I didn't want to pay $20.00 for something I didn't know was going to work or not...
So I went to eBay.
Silly me, I found one for $13.00 and free shipping. I bought it. It took about a week and a half for it to arrive and I opened it and tried it that day! Oh man! It kicked my butt!! My arms were shaking, my legs were shaking and i didn't know if I wanted to throw up or cry because I was so thrilled I completed it.
It was tough, there is no denying that but I've been trying to watch my salt, sugar, and fat intake (you know, regular healthy foods) as well as do the pure barre workout. This week was my first week and I've done pure barre three times. I went from (I know I'm actually going to give my weight...yuck!) 170lbs to 167.4lbs (as of this morning).
So if you are determined and do the workout -it's only 45 minutes! Three times a week like it suggests, it's amazing!
Pilates claims that, "In 10 sessions you feel better, 20 sessions you look better and by 30 sessions you have a whole new body" (Ana Caban, 2008) I do believe in Pilates and it is a GREAT background to have before you do Pure Barre, however with Pure Barre you see dramatic results in just 10 sessions (Carrie Rezabek, 2007).
So, for fun workouts, great results, higher confidence and just over all warm and fuzzy feelings you be the judge, but I would definitely recommend at least one of these two options.
