ISLANDERS 6-4, THIS IS THE 8TH
STRAIGHT WIN AT THE EXCEL
ENERGY ISN'T.
THE PUCK DROP IS AT 1:00, A LOT
OF PEOPLE WILL BE WATCHING THAT
GAME.
AND WITH THE NEW YEAR
THERE'S NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION.
FOR BOTH OF US.
THIS IS MY RESOLUTION TOO.
IF YOU NEED A LITTLE HELP,
KATE IS JOINING US LIVE FOR THE
BAR METHOD IN THE NORTH LOOP
FOR NEW EXERCISE.
HI, HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE.
PRETTY EXCITING MANY PEOPLE ARE
THINKING ABOUT THEIR NEW YEAR'S
RESOLUTIONS, THIS IS KNOWN AS
THE BEST PLACES TO WORK OUT.
I'M HERE AND FOR PEOPLE WHO
HAVEN'T DONE BAR, WE ARE
CARDIOQUEENS, WHY IS THIS A GOD
WORKOUT FOR PEOPLE TO TRY.
WITH THE BAR METHOD IT'S A
LOT OF LITTLE MOVEMENTS THAT
TONE AND LENGTHEN YOUR MUSCLES
AND THEN AFTER THE WORKOUT
YOU'RE STRETCHING THOSE MUSCLES
WHICH IS LENGTHENING THEM AND
GETTING THEM NOT BULKY AND BIG.
WE DON'T WANT TO GET BULKY
AND BIG.
I CAME HERE IN OCTOBER.
THE BAR METHOD YOU'VE BEEN
AROUND FOR A WHILE, IT'S BEEN
HERE 15 YEARS, THEY CELEBRATED
THAT BACK IN JUNE I THINK.
ONE OF THE THINGS I LIKE
ABOUT IT, WHAT IF SOMEONE HAS
AN INJURY OR PREGNANT, PEOPLE
CAN STILL TRY DOING THIS
WORKOUT?
YES, THERE'S MODIFICATIONS
FOR ANY LEVEL, IF YOU'RE INJURY
OR ARE PREGNANT, IF YOU'RE 18
OR 75.
WHY DENT WE STEP OVER TO THE
BAR, YOU'LL SHOW ME A MOVE
PEOPLE CAN TRY AT HOME IF YOU
HAVE A TABLE OR THEY DON'T HAVE
A BAR AT THE HOUSE.
TELL ME WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.
THY WORK SENIOR THE MOST --
THIGH WORK IS THE MOST
CHALLENGING PART OF THE HOUSE.
OPEN YOUR FEET APART, LIFT
YOUR HIGHS AS HIGH AS YOU CAN,
BEND YOUR KNEES AT A THIRD OF
THE WAY DOWN, RELAX YOUR SEAT
AND UP RIGHT YOUR SPINE.
UP AN INCH AND DOWN AN INCH.
THIS EXERCISE, LOWER YOUR
HEELS JUST AN INCH, THAT WILL
PUT ALL OF THE WORK IN YOUR
QUADS, BEND FORWARD AT YOUR
WAIST.
IT'S SQUATTING, IT'S
AWESOME.
I KNOW WHEN YOU DO IT 50
TIMES YOU FEEL IT.
MY FRIEND HAS DONE BAR CLASSES
SHE'S A BIG FAP.
I KNOW HAVE YOU CLASS TOMORROW
AS WELL.

IT'S REALLY HARD AND YOU END UP
DOING THESE TINY MOVEMENTS YOUR
BODY SHAKES BECAUSE IT'S SO
DIFFICULT.

IT'S FOR MEN TOO.

HISTORY OF TRYING TO
SUCCESSFULLY GOING TO CLASSES
REALLY JUST A JOKE.

WE LOVE MAX, BUT SOMETIMES
WE WONDER WHAT HE'S TALKING

RESOLUTION, AND THAT IS GETTING
MIKE MAX NEW JOKES.

WORKOUT, WHY IS IT SO
EFFECTIVE.

START WITH A LOT OF ARM WORK,
TONING AND DIVINING THE
MUSCLES, IT'S SMALL MOMENTS AND
DIGGING DEEP INTO THE MUSCLES

OUT A LOT BEFORE, IS THIS
SOMETHING FOR ALL LEVELS?
ABSOLUTELY.

ADAMANT ABOUT FORM, WE ARE
THERE TO HELP YOU AND SO YOU
CAN UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU SHOULD

OPTION?
ABSOLUTELY.
