5 online barre classes you must try

5 online barre classes you must try Sharing 5 online barre classes you must try and are a fun component to add to your fitness routine.  Hi friends! How are you? I hope that you’re enjoying the week! I’m meeting up with some friends, have client calls, and am taking a yoga class. For today, I wanted to talk about a workout format that has stood the test of time. It’s something that I’ve loved for many years and always come back to it as a staple in my routine: barre! I LOVE barre workouts because they give me a little reminder of my dance days of yore, they’re incredibly challenging, yet easier on the joints. There’s minimal impact and I feel like no matter what, I always get a good workout. There are so many great online barre options, so I wanted to share five of my top fives if you’re looking to get in some barre classes at home instead of in the studio.

Aulani Disney Resort Review

Aulani Disney Resort Review Sharing a recap of our stay at Aulani, the Disney resort in Hawaii and if I think it’s worth it! Hi friends! Happy Monday! How was the weekend? I hope you had a great one! Ours was pretty busy but good. We’re definitely still adjusting to being back in school and back in the routine after two epic trips this summer. We went to Spain , and to Hawaii , and also spent some time at Aulani while we were there. My story with Aulani is an interesting one, because I was supposed to visit the property for a press trip years ago. Our plane had to make an emergency landing – it was pretty traumatizing – and our neice was born the same day! I ended up missing the trip, and have wanted to go this entire time. Last time we were in Waikiki, we did a luau in the neighborhood ( Paradise Cove Luau – the food was meh but the entertainment was excellent) and knew when we returned, we’d have to stay at Aulani. Leading up to the trip, I was slammed with work stuff because I ...
