Right now.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And lately, my body can do five minutes of barre.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Five minutes.That’s it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And somehow, that’s enough.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;💡 Check out the Substack post that goes into this topic in more detail: &lt;a target="_blank" href="https://mybodycan.substack.com"&gt;https://mybodycan.substack.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This is a public episode.
