Planks Are a Girl's Best Friend

Each week, we'll tell you about one great idea moms can do/buy/go to for themselves or with their girlfriends, spouses or partners.

OK, ladies, no pressure, but bikini season is upon us. If you want abs of steel, all my friends are raving about a new exercise studio called which offers a unique combination of ballet barre work, core conditioning, stretching and orthopedic exercises. 

star swim instructor Karen Szabo takes classes at The Dailey Method twice a week, but she wishes she could go more. “Imagine standing at the ballet barre and your instructor saying, ‘Okay, now, start doing Pliés in your invisible stilettos—up-down, up-down, up-down! Your whole body is shaking like crazy, but it’s worth it because after class every last muscle group feels more toned and tightened.”

If you, too, want to take the leap in your imaginary Jimmy Choo’s, The Dailey Method is offering new clients one month of unlimited classes for $100, or an introductory three-class package for $45. On-site childcare (at an extra cost) sweetens the deal.
