February Challenge
28 Days of Barre
​
Welcome to The February Challenge, where you are going to commit to completing one video a day, dedicating time for yourself. It's not about wearing yourself out over the month. Instead, you will build a healthy habit/routine of movement, a better focus on form and, of course, improved fitness, strength and mobility.
​
​
Each day is planned out for you but you can switch things up. Just do something. If you're too tired, you can go for a walk, or even start a shorter video - you'd be surprised about what you can achieve once you commit to start. After you complete each video, you can make a note on how you felt and track your progress.
​
Order does not matter. My programming is a guide. You don't have to do each day in a row. Here are some ways you can customise it:
​
-
If you plan on attending a live class, you can do that instead of a video.
-
For example, if you want to do Wednesday's workout on Monday because it suits you better, then you can do that and tick it off. It doesn't matter that you're not completing workouts in order.
-
If you want to go for a run (or other exercise) instead of a video, you can note that in the tracker. It is a barre challenge but I understand you do other things too.
​
Note: Things happen, schedules change and last minute plans come up. You can take longer than 28 days to complete this if you want. It will not expire. Instead of skipping a workout, you can always take a day to do a different activity and pick up where you left off.
​
Formally join the challenge and track your challenge progress here.
​
If none of these videos suit you (e.g. time constraints), head to the bottom to the quick wins section.

Day 24: Mid Week Burn
Goal: Time for our mid-week class. We're really going to work in turn out for the last time during this challenge. We work in a position called attitude, where you are turning the leg out from the tops of your thighs so just pay attention to the cues. We have a nice core section as well be always be sure to modify if you need. It's nice to work in different positions to build strength.

Goal: Ready to give a huge push? We're bringing in cardio barre. A nice way to get the heart rate up. We work hard in a certain timeframe with set exercises. I can't lie in this one because it's timed. Please remember that it's form over speed when it comes to cardio barre. If you're not a fan, don't worry you can head below to sub in a video.
