Pilates Reformer Classes for All Levels – Studio Be

Bad during visit to parents on Saturday! Extra snacks. I would have once eaten what I did and considered it a "slightly" bad day, so it's good to see. Had some difficulty estimating things I didn't make....again. But I got a new food scale and a new Fitbit (well, new off ebay) to set up! I've missed it a lot and it definitely makes a difference in keeping me on track.

What is a Barre Fitness Class? Let us tell you what a Barre Fitness class at The Workshop Dance Studio can do for you as a full-body sculpting workout.

What is a Barre Fitness Class? Barre class will leave the tiny muscles in your core, butt, arms and legs stressed, stretched and strengthened. Barre class is reminiscent of a ballet class, but heavily reworked for the non-ballerina to feel like a full-body sculpting workout. What To Expect In A Barre Workout Class Typically, the workout is broken into sections targeting major muscle groups and…

Missing my FitBit! I liked tracking my steps, especially.

Gym not very good for various reasons. Also, I've noticed the last couple times that I can't successfully do as many arm-involved exercises in a row as I used to. Maybe that's not bad, but I'm unsure if it's due to loss of muscle or just not enough calories. I am losing weight/inches pretty well but I am a little worried about this aspect.

Lat pulldowns: 70 lb x 10 x 3; 80 lb x 3 x 1

Bent over rows: 20 lb x 10 x 3

Seated chest presses: 65 lb x 8 x 2

Treadmill: .68 mi, 10 min, 3.5 incline

Jan. 24:

Barre/dance class (1 hr)

Dance/barre class for 1 hour and fast-walking to/from work and on lunch. Will try to get a short walk in at lunch tomorrow and maaaayyyyybe a short pilates video.

I felt very full today, so it feels odd I'm under. Still generally getting around ~80 grams of protein, I want an average of 100 grams/day to be my next goal.

Did my best, but had a hard time tracking confidently today as I went out for lunch (delicious sweet potato burger and salad!) and had some pizza for dinner, from a regional chain place that I couldn't find actually facts for? But someone had posted it on Lose It and the calories per slice were literally twice what 95% of estimates for pepperoni and mushroom pizza slices are online so I'm very ??? about whether it is an overcount. But I did my best and overestimated on lunch, I think.

Lesson is I should eat homemade stuff. I really like tracking, being uncertain of foods not made by me is the most difficult part.

Exercise:

Barre class

My barre class was good but embarrassing! So uncoordinated and unnatural. But that's what I'm going for, to be better coordinated and feel more confident.

Threw in these at home:

Glute kickbacks: 15 x 2 each

Fire hydrants: 15 x 2 each

Standing oblique crunches: 10 x 2 each

Side planks: 20 s x 1 each
