The End of Bar Method Month


I can't believe it's been 30 days since I started this challenge, and I can't believe I finished all 15 classes! I feel amazing and kind of really proud of myself for sticking to it and really pushing myself each class to do better.

I can definitely tell a difference in how I feel from when I first started. I'm able to push myself further, sink down more in Thigh, crunch more in Abs, and even do pushups on my feet instead of my knees. Plus, I haven't had any more trouble with my shoulders, my hip flexors, or my knees, all of which had caused me pain in the last several months. My body just feels really great, less creaky and crunchy and jiggly, overall!

It seemed appropriate that for my final class of the challenge, the instructor was Mimi Fleischman herself - the owner of Bar Method Los Angeles, and sister of the founder of the Bar Method! I felt really honored and lucky to be in her class, as she doesn't teach very often anymore. She was, of course, amazing, which I'm sure is why all the instructors at Bar Method are also so amazing! They are a huge part of why I love and keep coming back to Bar Method.

After 15 classes, you think I'd be sick of Bar Method classes, right? Wrong! Here's a twist ending - I actually have 6 more classes to take, from a series I had purchased previously! Woo hoo! However, instead of taking them 3-4 times a week, I'm going to just do a couple times a week, and combine them with Zumba and other classes. I really enjoyed dedicating 3 to 4 times a week to exercising, and I want to keep up that pace.
