You look great! Well done on all the hard work. Consistency is something I struggle with, and I have been in a bit of a workout funk lately - can't be bothered and just not interested. You have inspired me to get my act together - thank you.

y'all are just so sweet ;-) i am just overwhelmed at the support you all have shown. thank you so much for the encouragement!!!

The burning and shaking and pure struggle inherent in barre workouts is, i think, what kept me going back to them... it became addicting a little bit, the thigh work especially, followed closely by seat work. such a ridiculous burn, i thought wow, this HAS to work, right? and i just stuck with it to see. i love how engaged the muscles can get in the movements, and i am always working to have more grace and control and precision in the movements. Honestly, that comes first before any changes elsewhere. Seeing myself gain better control over my own four limbs is pretty cool

somebody somewhere on here posted about how back in the day, exercise videos boasted you could change your body in a year's time, not in a week or two weeks or thirty days like it is claimed by different programs nowadays. something about that stuck with me, just reminded me that real change does not happen overnight and slow and gradual change is more desirable because it probably means that the changes will be permanent

I completely agree. As wonderful as I think barre is for exercise, I think a lot of it for me is that I grew to enjoy it. I'm def. Addicted! And that craving you get for it keeps you coming back, and that is when you get results--not just pounds and inches lost, but better posture, greater flexibility, more functionality, that lalalala feeling, etc!

We do have to get over that results-in-5-minutes mentality. I did experience some pretty dramatic results my first month doing barre exclusively, but it's consistency over time that counts!

It sounds like despite your desk job you're getting in a lot of movemtn, and that's important, too!
