Only morons say barre isn’t a good workout. You are either going to the wrong barre classes or not doing it correctly. Most women over 30 need strength training ( which barre is) over cardio to lose weight. Cardio is for a healthy heart. Not to lose weight.

I'm 57 y/o female. I can see how a really active athletic fit person who works out with weights and such every day would not find something like Barre or yoga "a great workout." But for the rest of us, if you're doing it properly, it is/can be and/or is a good supplement or piece of an overall "higher level" fitness routine. I'm just starting out with some Barre workouts at home and can absolutely feel the muscles being worked. This kind of stuff is very good and helpful for people particularly like me who need to get back into exercise or who are looking for something other than walking to start losing some weight and regaining some flexibility.

Don't knock something positive just because it isn't for you.

I have found that just avoiding as many carbs as I can is 50% of the battle for me. I really have slimmed down on meats and vegetables only.

Even just going to the store and looking at the number of carbs in different rolls and breads and purchasing the lower carb ones makes a difference. For example, ciabatta rolls vs. bagels.

Older women need to lift heavy, not fling around little 2-8 lb weights.

Precisely ... something to supplement for someone who's already very fit and athletic.

two soft boiled eggs and bacon for breakfast.

Fruit at 11 a.m.

Crunchy Salad with lots of protein for lunch. Oil and vinegar dressing

Protein snack bar.

Fish, chicken or red meat for dinner. Salad with crunchy stuff.

No added sugar. Fight carbs in all forms.
(Sugar cravings subside after several days.)

Walk at least two miles or 30 minutes. More, faster is better.

Let yourself get hungry, but don't let yourself get so famished you over eat. (It feels good not to be full all the time.)

Drink as much coffee as you want.

I lost 35 pounts in three months.

Yes, I no longer do pure barre but when I did, I considered those active rest days from my heavy lifting. It did amazing things for my body, really etched out my muscles, but of course I had muscle mass from years of weightlifting already.

I've found if I just cut way down on processed foods, I feel much better. Bloating is gone. I lose weight. I'm not hungry all of the time.
