Hobbies: Barre

[ysabetwordsmith]

Folks have mentioned an interest in questions and conversations that make them think. So I've decided to offer more of those. This batch features hobbies.

Barre is an exercise hobby. It draws inspiration from various sources including ballet and yoga. The name comes from using a ballet barre for balance. While it is most often done in a gym class, it can very easily be done at home if you have a bit of space for a wall or floor barre.

Thanks for posting - I've been doing qi gong for some weeks now and barre appears similar.

Getting a hobby is somewhere on my "to do" list. Besides reading, don't really have one. (Not sure playing Legos counts since I'm playing with my son, and he'll out-grow it some day. Probably.) However, I'm very busy with my "day life," and since I mostly enjoy it, mostly don't miss not having a hobby.

Ahhhhh this is timely.

Just started Ballet I and now people are trying to get back into Aerials. Which means supplemental exercises.
