Favorite things giveaway: barre3

Today’s giveaway is extra special because EVERYONE is already getting a sweet gift from barre3: 15 days of free unlimited online classes!! To redeem yours, click this link and enter the code “barre3fitnessista”

As you guys know, I’m a huge fan of barre workouts. I love all of the various types, teach weekly barre classes, and also seek out new and beloved studios when I travel. My good friend Kate owns the Tucson barre3 studio (go say hello! She is the sweetest ever, and then she’ll make your legs cry) and I love take classes when I get the opportunity. Barre3 is unlike traditional barre classes. Many of the exercises are similar, but there is a mind-body element to Barre3 (a yoga, Pilates and barre lovechild), and they have a holistic approach to health and wellness. barre3 doesn’t end when you walk out the door; I feel that they truly support and encourage their clients with overall health, balance and wellbeing. In addition to the classes, they provide support for mamas with their Play Lounge (Liv loves it!), and also offer healthy recipes, tips and advice through their website.

    I love knowing that I can have a taste of everything… nothing is off limits. It is really freeing to now feel restricted and I really enjoy myself more… and also dont eat everything. I eat what I want and I am satisfied.

    Yoga helps keep me calm and balanced during the busy holiday season.

    I think that fitting in small amounts of fitness everyday helps me stay balanced. I feel more energized and after working out less stressed. Plus, I don’t want to eat a lot of junk when I’m done so I save my treats for the treats I REALLY want!

  6. Ashley on December 5, 2014 at 2:41 pm

    I love getting in a good workout before a holiday party.

  7. Ashley on December 5, 2014 at 2:42 pm

    I look forward to try the quick total body workouts.

    For me, staying balanced during the holidays is keeping a sense of perspective about food. I read “Bringing Up Bebe” a few years ago. It’s mostly about childrearing en francais, but there was a great section about the French attitude towards losing baby weight postpregnancy. There is no direct French translation for “diet” (meaning “restricted diet to reduce calories”). Instead, the French phrase French is “sois attentif”, or “pay attention.” I love that, because it doesn’t imply a sense of guilt if you do happen to overindulge, just a promise to “pay attention” tomorrow. That really stuck with me! Giving myself permission to sample more goodies around the holidays means I’m less likely to beat myself up if I do have an extra treat here or there. It gets rid of the “eh, I already messed up, I’m going to eat THIS WHOLE CAKE” mentality, and also makes me more focused on enjoying the foods I do eat, rather than feeling the guilt creeping over my shoulder.

    Getting flannel bedsheets- it makes me want to get in bed earlier, which means I get more sleep!

  13. Jenn on December 5, 2014 at 3:59 pm

    Workouts first thing in the morning, every morning, are what I use to help and make myself maintain balance during the holidays.

  14. Jenn on December 5, 2014 at 4:01 pm

    Holiday season is crazy……a little downtime by the tree each evening with some gift knitting always calms me down 🙂

  22. Vanessa B on December 5, 2014 at 4:52 pm

    I make sure to do something active every day! Even if it is just walking or hiking with my dog, everything adds up!

    Staying in my normal routine, especially my usual workout routine, helps me stay centered during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season.

  32. Pua on December 5, 2014 at 11:22 pm

    I stay balanced by making sure I get in my usual workouts… and getting in my steps while shopping!

  33. Stephanie G on December 6, 2014 at 3:11 am

    My daily morning workouts, following with stretching definitely is the key to keeping me balanced and stress free. I have never tried Barre3 but have heard wonderful things about it.

  34. Stephanie G on December 6, 2014 at 3:13 am

    Starting the morning with a big green smoothie keeps me balanced!

  40. Jen on December 6, 2014 at 8:23 am

    What keeps me balanced is looking at my two boys. I want to be sure to sustain healthy practices so they will learn that is what they need to do to stay healthy and happy – balance is so hard but SO important. That’s what keeps me balanced.

  41. Jen on December 6, 2014 at 8:29 am
