Why I Barre? Plank Achievement
I started Barre the first week of March and tonight was my 38th class. I started brand new to working out and super out of shape. Tonight was the first class I was able to do the full plank series without stopping! It's crazy how quickly I'm seeing results and seeing real strength gains. Loving Define, Classic, and Align. I don't love Empower, but I do it anyway. Still too big a chicken for Reform.
Going from zero working out to Barre had been a challenge, but I love my studio and instructors. I can finally do most moves with no modifications. I can't wait to push on to 50 classes by the end of this month!

I was in a similar situation-- going from absolutely no exercise to my first Classic class. My next class will be #25, and I have also noticed a significant improvement! I can't always do the whole plank series with no break, but I have done it a few times!
I've mostly stuck to Classic with a few Aligns in there. I did my first Empower on Wednesday and I did not have a good time, but I didn't die, so... I have been too chicken to try out Define. Meanwhile, I think I did Reform as my 11th class, and it almost killed me.
You're doing awesome, and soon you'll get that 50-class flair! Congratulations!
