How I Lost Baby Weight with The Bar Method Fresno

I had my third baby in October and I took the new year to start working on self care.  I really wanted to lose the baby weight and tone up but I also wanted to have something for myself that was an outlet.  My motivation at the beginning was all about my outward appearance but what I learned was something far more important than how I looked.  I had no idea that I could enjoy working out; I never have in my entire life.  I've always been on a fitness roller coaster.  I give it my all for awhile and then I do nothing for months on end.  This is the first time that I wake up and look forward to working out and am doing my best to find a time each day for some exercise.

The space at Bar Method is first class for a workout studio.  There is a space for cooling down, grabbing a drink or mingling with friends before or after a class.  The locker room is clean, stylish and inviting and my favorite part is the kids bar club.  The kids club has everything a kid would want to have fun and I loved how clean it was.  I was even okay with leaving Jack Jack which is not something I would do at any other gym.  The sitter to child ratio was always fabulous which made leaving him so easy.

I always took Bar Express because that was the class that always seemed to fit in my schedule.  It was a 45 minute class that was pretty faced paced and always kicked my booty in a good way.  What I enjoyed about the Bar Express classes were they were similar but never exactly the same.  It kept things from getting monotonous but you also were able to follow along without getting lost.  

The scale moved only slightly downward but I did lose 1 inch in my hips and a quarter of inch in my waist and thighs.  Although I've been frustrated with getting back to my pre-baby body I am so surprised with how this process has changed my mental state and mood.  This change is far more important than any outward change.  It has helped me to work through post baby blues and be a better wife and mom.  I truly believe in self care and it's taken me years to realize how important it is.  I can not be a good wife and mom if I put myself last all of the time.  Working out has given me time to myself and helped make me feel so much better.

If you've been following along with me on Instagram I hope that all my accountability posts have inspired you to find some time for yourself.   Losing weight is nice but getting healthy all the way around is the true goal.  Since this journey has totally changed me I'm wanting to share the love with you.  The Bar Method is allowing me to share two great deals with you.  You can either grab Bar Trio, which is three classes for $35 or 10% off class packs with code RHOF (offers can not be combined).
