For me, there is nothing better than a quality workout to get my day started. Typically that includes running 4+ miles on the treadmill or using the hybrid elliptical for 60 minutes. In order to complement my cardio choices with strength training, I have come to love Barre Fitness. I attend (3) 1 hour classes each week at Barre and Soul in Spring Lake Heights, NJ. Not only are the classes a nice reminder of my time as a dancer, but they are also responsible for my toned arms, legs and abs!
One of the most interesting moves that my teacher introduced last week was the Forearm Plank to Pike. This twist on a yoga position targeted my shoulders, abs and legs, while allowing for modifications. In order to make the move easier, I was instructed to bring my knees to my chest rather than piking up. If I was up for a challenge, I was told to slide my feet out to the sides, then back in, after each rep.
