[quote=Anonymous]Pure barre fanatic here.  I try to go daily.  This is what I would advise:

Go to class as much as you can.  The more you go, the stronger you will become.  Going a few times a week will definitely help, but doing it repeatedly is good for your body and mind.  Pure barre is not easy to learn.  Most people don’t realize the movements need to be small and controlled.  It’s as much mental as it is physical.  You will eventually be able to hold a plank and then eventually be able to push up to straight arms without coming out of the plank.  It’s all about practice, just like anything else you try to learn.

Really listen to the teacher and focus on the specific body part you’re working on (thighs, seat, etc).  The teacher gives great verbal cues and maintaining form is very important.  At my studio, there are definitely teachers who focus on form and offer corrections and or modifications.  Seek out those teachers.  Read yelp reviews.  A good teacher is so important and I try to go to those I know will correct my form and challenge me.

If you really don’t want to continue class until you get stronger and I understand this because it’s VERY expensive, try pure barre on demand.  You can do a class at home.  I like this option because there are so many classes to take and it’s doesn’t have to be 45 minutes or even 60 minutes.  They have 15 and 20 minute classes that you can work your entire body or specific body parts.  I’ve done a number of them and they are good.  The only negative I see is that you don’t have a teacher to correct your form if you’re doing the exercise wrong.  But doing those classes will make you stronger and you’ll be prepared for a studio class in no time.  Best of luck.  [/quote]
