[quote=Anonymous]My first few sessions at Pure Barre were rough.  I am in good shape and still only did 1-2 classes a week the first year. Stick with it!  It gets easier as you go.

If you want to get stronger, work on a plank daily at home.  Add time and slowly build up until you can get to a minute, then lower your knees if needed.  They do 90 seconds in class but not everyone can hold that long, you won't be the only one.

Do push ups daily.  If five is all you can do, do that.  If you need to be on your knees, start there.  Work your way up to a set of 25, no knees.  But again, you DON'T have to be at that point to enjoy a class.

If you have a set of barbells at home, try arm walking and bicep curls at home.

Work your way up to a set of fifteen reverse push ups.

Cardio doesn't do much to prep you for barre.  It's a good supplement to classes though, so keep it up.

Maybe you'd feel more comfortable doing the PB classes by video at first.

You might also want to look at Bar Method which in my opinion is more focused on form, and works at a slower and more thoughtful pace than PB, which I also enjoy.  They have Bar Basics classes for beginners.[/quote]
