Our NEWEST LAUNCH: Barre Blend!

Image
I am so excited to share my excitement about our newest program launching this winter! As a professional dancer and now teacher, this is what I haven been anxiously awaiting for what feels like forever! Barre workouts have been one of the hottest fitness trends for years, with devoted fans praising the way they sculpt and tone without lots of impact, while improving posture and flexibility. The dance-inspired moves are fun yet challenging, and they make you feel just a little more graceful. So what if you could get the best barre workout — taught in real time, just like in a studio — but on your OWN TIME and without leaving home? You’ve been asking for it, and we heard you loud and clear. We’re excited to announce Barre Blend is coming to Beachbody On Demand this winter! What Is Barre Blend? Barre Blend is a new low-impact, high-intensity, and high-energy workout program from our very own barre expert, professional dancer, and 3 Week Yoga Retreat co-creator Elise Jo

What kind of belt is that? What lotion are you using? Where do you shop for maternity workout clothes? These are my MOST ASKED questions filling up my inbox these days, so I decided to make you a list of MY maternity must-have's this go around! Here they are!

These were all approved by mine, but each woman and pregnancy is different.  1. Serola belt. I've been using this during my workouts and when I'm teaching dance since my first trimester as pelvic and sciatic pain started EARLY for me.
