I took my first Pure Barre class and all I can say is I have a new found respect for isometric muscle conditioning! The crux of the barre practice is isometrics with small movements. One inch lifts, small contractions, and it feels amazing. If you are heading into your first barre class expect your body to shake like a leaf but know that this is a GOOD thing as it means that your muscles are reaching their point of fatigue.
If you are new to barre don't fret because there are small modifications you can do to some of the moves as you work your way up to expert. Gradually you will be able to go deeper in your movements and higher on your toes.
I stopped to thank my instructor after my class and she recommended starting at twice a week with classes and told me I should expect to start feeling stronger after about a month.
