\nFitness innovator, author and illustrator, Colette Barry whose mantra is \u201cI communicate with muscles” joins the show.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fitness innovator, author and illustrator, Colette Barry is a Licensed Massage Therapist of 20 yrs.\u00a0 She is also a Certified Yoga Instructor, a Certified Pilates Instructor and Thai Yoga Therapist.<\/p>\n

Colette has launched her first two videos from Bayou Fitness from the Total Trainer called \u201cBarry Method Core Work\u201d and \u201cBarry Method Strength and Conditioning\u201d in January 2011. Colette\u2019s mantra is \u201cI communicate with muscles\u201d.\u00a0 Her technique cultivates the ability to connect the mind and body thru visual cues with proper alignment.\u00a0 The Barry Method eschews muscle isolation techniques for a more dynamic concept of functional training, which is attainable (for just about anyone) with maximum efficiency by using gravity resistance on the Total Trainer glide board.<\/p>\n

Colette has been able to develop specific exercises that allow for unrestricted movement.\u00a0 These protocols unlike free weights, lengthens and strengthen muscles relieving pressure from the joints and ligaments enhancing overall joint mobility and balance.<\/p>\n

Colette\u2019s functional concept allows the body to recruit multiple muscle groups in each exercise recreating movements of real life activities.\u00a0 This concept creates functional stability increasing flexibility and strength while restoring and recreating body composition and integrity.<\/p>\n

What you end up with are \u201csmart\u201d balanced muscles that resist injury with a bottom line to allow people to regain fitness and return to sports recreational activities and work activity with increased performance and lower risk of injury.<\/p>\n

In addition, Colette has written numerous articles on fitness and health for magazines and online and is a public speaker.<\/p>\n

Over the last year, the satisfied client base using Colette\u2019s Barry Method has tripled. Plus, she now has over a dozen Barry Method certified instructors and expanding nationally. Her program has also been certified to provide continuing education credits (CEUs) for personal trainers and specialized therapists through the Aerobics Fitness Association of America (AFAA).<\/p>\n
