Excuses; there are a ton of them that I can think of but the one I hear quite a bit is “I don’t have time.” Sometimes the excuse is a very valid excuse. Are you the one that has a full-time job, children, household responsibilities and more? After giving breakfast, making lunches, driving to and from school, preparing dinner, laundry,
“Today I will Love Myself enough to Exercise!” This is our quote on the our bulletin board. (Thank you Pinterest and Kelly for finding it). Do you love yourself? Are you striving to be your better self every day? Do you put your health and wellness at the top of your list everyday? Or do you make excuses? Work, family,
I cannot tell you how proud I am of this one Barre Beauty. She has proven to me that with a goal in mind, one can accomplish anything. Change is hard, but change is good. Changing a routine, changing a small habit, adding a new “good addiction” is good. All changes are difficult to make without passion, dedication, commitment and a

You have all seen me in class, usually the one who looks like they are convulsing during thighs. We all have experienced this seething, gut-wrenching, knife-stabbing, yet addictive burn during class.
