I Like to Get My Ass Handed to Me.

Ever since I was about 18, I have consistently done some kind of workout program. Whether it was lifting weights, running, yoga, Zumba, or some combination of random ish I've made up, I'm always doing something. But I first tried this specific workout probably three years ago, and I was hooked from the get go.

 It's called The Bar Method, and instead of trying to figure out how to use my words like a professional, I'll let the website speak for me:

the bar method — integrates the fat burning format of interval training, the muscle shaping technique of isometrics, the elongating principles of dance conditioning, and the science of physical therapy to create a revolutionary new workout that quickly and safely reshapes your entire body.

For me, it's like a combination of ballet-like moves and pilates that makes my friggin' legs shake uncontrollably (don't be a pervert) and wonder if I'll be able to drive home afterward. I started by using the DVDs a few years ago, and then when I moved to a larger town last year, I found that classes were held near me, and I was totally sold. This ish is the ish. But don't just believe my ass.

Celebrity fans of The Bar Method include: Ginnifer Goodwin, Drew Barrymore, Anna Paquin, Kelly Osborne, Kristen Bell, Dita Von Teese and a ton more. And if that's not enough to convince you this mess is the business, check out the founder, Burr Leonard, who is damn 65 years old:

That ish is freakin' ridiculous. If you want to try and get on Burr's level, you can get one of the DVDs for $20. I like having a badass 65 year old woman kick my ass.
