My glutes are still sore.
OnSex and the City, Carrie Bradshaw was famously anti-exercise.
Read on for my honest review of the fitness class.
What Is Physique 57?
Most of the movements use your own body weight as resistance.
Youll also turn to the ballet barre for support during extra-deep stretches or for support during exercises like plies.
The result is an intense yetlow-impact workout thats all about maximizing your full-body strength.
To keep things fun while preventing the dreadedworkout plateau.
To go easy, opt for a beginner-level Sculpt class.
Its a great one to try if youre new to barre or if you want to refine your form.
Theres also Power Sculpt, which is the next level up.
It offers more intensestrength trainingand higher reps to keep your heart rate up the whole time.
Later that week, I took a Power Sculpt class at my local studio in Philly.
At one point, we also popped the ball between our knees to add even more leg work in.
(It also allowed me to more fully feel the burn.)
The instructor also encouraged me to pick up hand weights that arejusta little outside my comfort zone.
(Think using six-pounders instead of two.)
After trying Physique 57 for a week, I can see why Sarah Jessica Parker is a fan.
Ill definitely be back for more.
