Focus On: Barre Workouts
I’ve received quite a few requests about barre workouts, since I recently started teaching a barre-based class at work.

Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results, and for some insane reason I keep trying to act like coconut flour can easily replace other flours. It doesn’t work. At all.
