Your Pure Barre Questions Answered

Happy Thursday, y’all! I hope today flies by & straight into Friday, and that you have a wonderful weekend planned with people you love. Today, I am breaking down a little bit about Pure Barre for you as summer inches closer and pool season is just weeks away. (Or, if you’re in Texas… sporadic days here and there have presented great weather for poolside reading.) You guys sent me questions about barre, and I have put together the most commonly asked ones for owner of Pure Barre Allen/Mckinney to answer for you.

Pure Barre Allen/Mckinney has some AMAZING new deals right now that seriously make now the best time ever to sign up for classes. They are doing first week free (!!!) and a new lite package for people who can make it to the barre maybe once or twice a week, or are looking for something to supplement their running/cardio. I highly suggest taking advantage of these special offers right now. Do the first week free, then the New Client Special month 2, and then the lite for month three. You’ll love it and it’s such an economical way to dive into the barre.

So… as for your questions- meet Amanda. She is the owner of TWO Pure Barre locations and will surely kick your tush in class. 😉

1. What is a tuck? How do I properly do it? What does it target?
You will hear the word “tuck” throughout every class. A tuck is a movement that involves contracting the abs back causing the hips to rotate forward towards the ribcage.  A tuck engages your abs and helps to protects your lower back in different positions throughout class.  
2. What should I look for/feel in proper form of a plank?
The plank is a very challenging position, but with a little time and persistence, anyone can master it! In a plank position, you want to create a straight line from the top of your head through your heel. Your entire body is engaged here: shoulders away from the ears, abs pulled in, seat squeezed tight.  Remember to breathe! 
3. What does “low impact” mean? If I am used to higher impact, will I have similar results to my body?
A low impact exercise is one that keeps at least one of your feet on the ground at all times – no jumping is involved in Pure Barre.  Our movements are easier on your body, yet still very challenging.  Pure Barre is one of the most effective and efficient ways to burn fat and gain strength and flexibility with minimal risk of injury.  
4. How do I justify the cost each month?  What’s your personal experience with Pure Barre and why is it worth it?
Think about Pure Barre as a personal training session at half the price of a person training session.  We offer one-on-one attention in a small class setting where the instructors pay close attention to your form and help you to get the most out of your workouts.  In addition to the workouts themselves, when you join Pure Barre, you join the Pure Barre community.  We hold several social events and studio challenges throughout the year to foster new friendships and camaraderie. Working out should be fun and rewarding! 
5. How do I modify PB during pregnancy?
We love our Pure Barre moms-to-be!  Pure Barre is a safe and effective exercise option while pregnant.  Make sure to let your Pure Barre staff and instructors know that you are pregnant, so that we can walk you through any modifications you may need through different stages of pregnancy.  There is a modification for everything we do!  

 

Don’t miss your chance to be in the best shape of your life. Being healthy effects every aspect of your life, and I promise it’s something you want. It’s especially great, though, when it’s fun. 😉 Am I right? So when do I get to see you at the barre next to me?!

Love y’all so much. Have a happy rest of your week and even better weekend.
xoxo- Han
