Pure Barre is the latest workout trend among women. It appeals to all age group from college girls to PTA moms all the way to grannies. I had seen Instagram posts about it, and people tagging themselves at any given studio with a creative status to go with it. So, when the Tallahassee Pure Barre page posted on my sorority’s Facebook page that there was going to be a free class for beginners, I immediately texted an older sister so we could sign up.
I don’t know what the general view of Pure Barre is from an outsiders opinion, but I thought it was going to be relatively easy. I was wrong. If you have gone through this class, you can probably relate to my thought process during the 55-minute class.
1. Wow, this place is so cute.
2. Aw, even the cubbies are cute.
3. Don't worry, I won't wear my shoes on the carpet.
4. Why are there two different types of tubes?
5. Oh, I thought this ball was going to be much heavier.
6. This is going to be easy!
7. Okay, I have my ball, tubes and weights. I'm basically a professional.
8. Everyone here is so tiny and fit.
9. Even that grandma is hotter than I am.
10. The instructor's outfit is so cute. I want.
11. She's putting her mic on so we have to be starting. Let's do this.
12. "Is it your first time here?" How can she tell?
13. It must be my pink socks.
14. This is starting off pretty good.
15. I can do this.
16. Wait, is my leg supposed to bend back this way?
17. I feel muscles I've never felt before.
18. Three minutes in and I'm in pain.
19. Only 52 more minutes.
20. I need water.
21. I took ballet growing up so the stuff on the barre should be easy, right?
22. Oh, God, this is not easy.
23. How many more pulses?
24. I don't want to tuck my abs in anymore.
25. Are my movements too big?
26. Will the instructor notice if I stop to stretch once?
27. Or five times?
28. She saw.
29. She's coming over here.
30. What do you mean hold my leg higher?
31. My legs have never shaken like this before.
32. Sweet, we're done.
33. Just kidding, other side.
34. I saw a Chipotle next door when I was walking in, I'm definitely rewarding myself when I leave here.
35. Oh good, we're done at the barre.
36. Ugh, abs.
37. Only 45 seconds on this ball and I'm tired.
38. It burns.
39. But if it will give me a flat stomach, then burn as much as you want, tummy.
40. Lights are going off. Are we done
41. Ah, stretching, we are done.
42. How is everyone else not sweating
43. Chipotle, I am coming for you.
44. Okay, that really wasn't that bad.
45. "Bye, see you guys next week!"
