Exercise not only changes your body, it changes…

Who’s been tuned into the Olympics? In our household, gymnastics is our must see now that Lana is getting more serious in the sport. I am amazed at these girls; they have dedicated their lives to something to be great. Their power, their poise, their level of commitment is one to be admired.  Just think about the number of hours it takes them to be that great. They sacrifice quite a bit to be where they are and thus deserve that gold medal.  But our goal, as everyday people, is not to be that perfect  gymnast, swimmer or runner, but merely to just take care of our bodies and ourselves.  Taking one hour out of our day is nothing compared to what these gymnasts do, but taking that hour  makes a world of a difference for our wellbeing.  I want to thank Kelly for pulling a quote for our bulletin board.  If you haven’t checked out the board recently, please do!

At the bottom you will see:

“Exercise not only changes your body, it changes your mind, your attitude, and your mood.”

Kelly found it on Pinterest and it something that is so true.  We come to work out not just to gain physical strength but also mental strength.  Sometimes, it is even more for our mental state than anything. Have you ever come to a class feeling upset, down or just not well but have left  feeling so revived, happier and just all around ready to take on the world?  The next time you struggle to get out of bed, or think you have too much to do, remind yourself that you will feel better for going.  So challenge yourself, whether you’re doing our Go for the Gold Challenge or the Burn at the Barre challenge, finish it and finish strong.

We have great new back-to-school specials for our teachers and students…

$10 drop in rate for students for evening classes and $12 drop-in rate for teachers early morning and evenings.  Call us to help you find a special that works best for you! New schedule with more times coming soon!

If you’re not a teacher or student, I’m extending and extra 10% off your 10 class card purchased today through the end of the Olympics.

Be Strong. Be Positive. Be Happy. Be You!

As Always, Sharing Barre Love at the Barre + Beyond,
