Stick It Out

Turns out a stick can help you achieve your #fitgoals, and Upside Motion has recently launched a class that teaches you exactly how. An extension of their Xtend Barre classes, Xtend Barre Stick marries ballet and Pilates principles and involves a specially-designed bar that offers spring-based resistance. Just two months of classes can improve posture and increase strength, flexibility and stamina. Men are also welcome, so you might as well take bae along and work on #couplegoals while you’re at it. 

Upside Motion is located at Armenian Street and Orchard Road. Visit www.upsidemotion.com for more information.
