My secret to living a “fit life” is simple. It’s not rocket science. It’s a way of being.
For me, it took me nearly 3 decades to finally understand how to live life in a “fit” manner. I learned how to live a fit life when I discovered American Barre Technique. What is American Barre Technique you may ask? It’s ballet inspired aerobics, most famously known as barre. I first fell in love with the workout after my first class, and could not believe the physical results. My body has never responded so positively and quickly as it has from American Barre Technique. It’s like magic and it’s just too good not to share.
The first thing I noticed was my sculpted arms, specifically my shoulders (I’ve never been able to get this kind of muscle definition), my toned legs, slimmer waist, and my lifted and FIRM butt (my favorite ;)). American Barre Technique classes are formatted to give you the most effective workout within a 45-55 minute time period. Also, on days I feel stronger than others, I can up my intensity simply by pushing myself lower during leg work, or increasing my weight during arm work. It’s magic!
I found myself somewhat of an OBSESSED ABT student, going to class literally every day and thinking about my next class. I wanted more, and then the idea came to me. I thought how perfect of a job would it be to teach barre, that way I could teach and take and live my dream life #AtTheBarre I approached my barre teacher and asked her what she thought of my idea. She told me to go for it and referred me to enroll in the American Barre Technique online barre certification course. (I was already a step ahead of her and had visited the site and has the online barre certification in my cart ready to enroll). After receiving her confirmation to “go for it,” I did! and went ahead and enrolled into the ABT online barre certification.
The online barre teacher training was super informative and I learned so much. I finished the program with flying colors and felt super confident to start teaching barre. I got hired as soon as I finished the online barre cert. and had an overwhelming amount of friends and family attend and support my first classes.
Ever since I began teaching barre, I have been able to live a fit life with ease. Thanks to American Barre Technique, living a fit life is simple. I workout, I teach barre, and I fuel my body with healthy nutrients. It is an amazing lifestyle and I get complements daily on my physique and demeanor. I have energy and feel amazing and you can do. It’s not magic, it’s ABT. For me, this has been my secret to living a fit life and I’m happy to share my results with you all.

The kids are heading back to school and that means I get to go back to the barre on a regular, non-hectic basis! The fall is my absolute favorite season because I get the proper time to focus on my health and it’s one of the season’s that I am able to accomplish my fitness goals without any interruptions or mishaps. Getting back into a routine with my kids significantly helps myself get into my fitness routine, and with a stable routine, I am able to stay focused and achieve my fitness goals.
My advice to others who want to achieve their fitness goals is to make it a routine and habit to get your workout in. I swear by the American Barre Technique Ballet Body DVD. The barre fitness workout is only 45-minutes, but it gets me good every time. It’s my dream workout and makes me feel so accomplished each time I complete it. You can purchase the Ballet Body DVD here: Ballet Body DVD
For those of you who want to not only accomplish your fitness goals, but also maintain your level of fitness, I suggest incorporating fitness into your daily life. I was able to incorporate fitness into my daily life by becoming a Certified Barre Instructor. By earning my Barre Instructor Certification through American Barre Technique, I get to workout every day and get paid for it! I highly suggest turning your fitness routine into your passion job, for me, it’s the best thing in the world and I wouldn’t trade it for anything! If you’re interested in following in my footsteps, the American Barre Technique Barre Instructor Certification course is completely online, self-paced, and accredited worldwide.

I’m sending you all major barre fitness motivation for this month. Enjoy!
My journey to wellness is an ongoing practice that I mindfully participate in. Wellness to me means living each day making healthy and conscious choices that better my mind, body, and soul. Eating right, exercising, and engaging in life enriching events help me live my life to the fullest.
For me, if I feel as though I am having an off day with a lack of motivation, I always regain my motivation and sense of wellness after teaching ABT barre or taking an ABT barre class.
American Barre Technique rejuvenates my mind, soul, and most clearly my body. Completing this particular barre workout helps me stay grounded, focused, and most importantly healthy. After I teach an ABT barre class, I feel unstoppable, and that is why teaching barre has become my secret ingredient to wellness success. I have never been more in tune with my body until I started teaching ABT barre. It truly has changed my life in more ways that I have ever imagined. As my journey to wellness continues, I hope I turn on a light in others to help find your motivation and guidance towards a healthier and happier life.
When in doubt, barre it out! Taking American Barre Technique classes always puts me in a good mood, so in light of my barre obsession I am sharing some uber inspiring quotes for you! Cheers! XOX
Many times I hear from other gym goers, “Why do you love barre so much?” My response is always the same, “It’s the only workout that gives me everything I need.” And that’s the truth. Ever since I began teaching American Barre Technique, my physique has remained in tip-top shape, my health reports are stellar, and I have not experienced any fitness-related injuries. Getting in shape and staying in shape does not require rocket science, it requires barre.
When I teach American Barre Technique, I not only get to help others improve their health, I also get to maintain and improve mine. To me it is mind blowing that I get paid to workout, which is another reason why I love teaching fitness. Fitness is sometimes seen as a chore, something one “has to do” to get in shape or improve overall health. With exercise workouts like American Barre Technique, fitness no longer is a chore, but rather a desired exercise class to attend or in other words a “happy hour at the barre.”
If you haven’t tried barre because you are worried it will be too difficult, too easy, or whatever the excuse may be, give it a go! You will not regret it. It’s the most addictive workout, and I’m sure you’ll get hooked. See you at the barre!
Become a Barre Teacher | ABT Official Online Barre CertificationIt was always hard for me to thoroughly enjoy working out until I discovered Barre. The very first barre workout I took was the Ballet Body DVD. The workout was challenging, yet doable for me, and I couldn’t believe how fast my body responded to the exercises. I was never one to have a “toned” or “sculpted” look until I did the barre workout regularly. I became more interested in taking barre classes in my home town (and finally felt confident enough to venture out) so I visited my local gym and started taking barre classes there.
It didn’t take long for me to realize how obsessed I had become with barre. My barre teacher at the time approached me and asked if I had ever considered teaching a class or too, since I loved it so much. That thought hadn’t crossed my mind until that moment. Then I had my “aha” moment. I knew that teaching barre was my calling and that I should follow my heart doing what I truly love. I was so excited to start this journey in becoming a certified barre instructor, but didn’t know how to make it a reality. I met with my barre teacher to get some advice from her (she’s an incredible instructor.) She recommended me to get barre certified by American Barre Technique, that’s who she got certified by, and said I will be able to teach as soon as I complete their online barre teacher training course.
As soon as I got home from our meeting I enrolled with American Barre Technique right away. The online barre certification was perfect for me, I was able to complete it in my spare time and at my own pace. I got barre certified fairly quickly and got hired immediately at the gym. I invited my friends and family to start taking my classes and they all got hooked on barre! Fast forward to now, my barre classes are always packed and I’m still loving the workout and its body benefits. I followed my heart and now I get to do what I love every day. If you haven’t taken the leap of faith I suggest doing it. This is your life, you’ve only got one so live it the way you’ve dreamed.

Cross training is a highly effective technique used to improve specific aspects of physical performance in athletes at both amateur and professional levels. The type of cross training chosen for the particular athlete, caters to the goals need to be met for their sport. For instance, a basketball player cross trains with swimming laps to build stamina, so once on the court, he or she can last ninety plus minutes with ease. Do athletes that cross train perform better than those who do not? Yes. From The Active Times, […] “all athletes should be cross-training.”
What type of cross training is right for you?
There are two different forms of cross training;
1. Cardio based
2. Weight-training based
Whether your sport is soccer, football, baseball, basketball, volleyball, golf, tennis, ballet, etc, you must pin point the area of weakness that needs improvement. This might be a drill that needs improvement, or a center of gravity issue with your abdominals to improve a swing.
What do you do if you want to improve overall performance?
Whatever the area of improvement may be; increasing endurance or improving the body’s ROM (range of motion), American Barre Technique® is your ideal form of cross training. ABTbarre is ballet inspired aerobics™, a low impact yet challenging workout for both men and women alike. Football players have caught on to the cross training effect of ballet and other sports are beginning to catch on.

Balletic-like movements are repeated in the technique to improve endurance, increase flexibility (ROM), assist in improving balance, and core strength.
