Another fitness class idea: Barre Strength at Flex + Fit Charlotte

I've been hearing so many conversations lately about how to avoid gaining weight
this time of year. It is not rocket science. You have to burn more calories than
you take in. If you are going to eat more you need to work out more. Sorry.
There is good news. You don't have to settle for the same workouts you've been
doing. There are so many great classes in and around Charlotte and Lake Norman
that you can try. I wrote about the Air Fit class at Flex+Fit Charlotte the
other day and it is great. Today I tried a new one, Barre Strength!

My legs, thighs, hips are loving me and hating me because it was an
incredible workout. I highly recommend this class! Let me know what you think if
you check it out. The actual class description is at the bottom of the post as
well as the link to the schedule. Check out all of the pictures from today at http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.391127654303534.90605.140844645998504&&l=9ad6ed6cf8

Flex + Fit Charlotte Air Yoga Classes and much more

Picture
Every now and then I hear someone say "I can't find a type of exercise that I
like."  WHAT??? How is that possible? I get that a typical gym workout doesn't
appeal to some people because that doesn't appeal to me either.  Now days there
are SO MANY different types of classes and activities out there. Like Flex + Fit
Charlotte in ...how fun does this look?

I am writing this for those who either haven't found a workout they love
or for those looking to expand their "fitness horizons". Flex + Fit  offers a
wide variety of classes and activities which I'll talk about below but first let
me share some pictures from one of my favorite classes Air Yoga!! I've had
several adventurous friends experience it with me and they loved it too. You can
try Air Fit or Air Yoga.......... Air Fit was even voted the best fitness class
in Charlotte.
