Happy Monday! You know the phrase, “Never miss a Monday?!” Let’s make that our motto today! I taught a Pure Barre class today and also took an Empower class. I had to come to my knees a lot as pictured in the photo above for planks and push-ups, so please don’t forget that there are ALWAYS modifications you can take to get through your workout.
Workouts and challenges are meant to be fun and doable, so if you find these a bit tough, do them for a little bit less time, or fewer reps, come to your knees or modify your burpees. We want you to be able to feel proud of the work you did, no matter how you do it, just do it as the familiar catchphrase says. 😉
Read on below to see your requests fulfilled for thick strap, full coverage workout tanks for mama’s on the go + this week’s arms challenge! Y’all asked for me to find you some looser fitting tank tops that hide mom belly, cover up your shoulders a bit more, and some that are long enough to cover your booty so I hope the ones we found fit the bill you are looking for!

I can barely handle Empower on a good day, much less during pregnancy! I am so impressed! Did you do Barre throughout your first pregnancy?
Hi Sarah! You are sweet! It’s all about listening to your body and since I’ve done Empower for a while before getting pregnant, my body is used to it. 🙂 Yes, I did Pure Barre up until the day I checked into the hospital! It was pretty much the only thing I could keep up with.
