Also the standing core dance is one of my fave workouts EVER. I have done it at least 16 times. I can almost do it without watching the video lol. It is so lovely, challenging in the right way, the words at the end are just so special “feel accomplished. Bring that into your body and being”. I love that! Thanks Marnie!
Hi! I can’t believe I did class 227 after a long day at work. I was convinced that I could not do it… I learned that a lot of like is mind over matter.
I was missing the rolling hangovers so much, with a lose hair... and legs were shaking all the way on that plié/relevé/ second position... all the way!!!
Looking forward to this challenge! I caught Covid at the end of July and I’ve been recovering the last few months (bad fatigue and shortness of breath). I’ve hardly been able to work out or even to walk, but I’m finally getting stronger every week. I think this challenge is exactly what is needed to focus and motivate to get back on track. A great way to ease into the holidays. Thank you Marnie and team for putting this one together! Xx
PPD/PPA Trigger warning
I am SO thankful for the last 2 years (!!) of being a part of the M/Body community. In the last year, I have struggled with postpartum anxiety & depression. Thanks to prayer, my in person community, therapy, and these amazing healing workouts and community, I am thankful to have made a ton of progress. But growth does not always happen in a straight line. This last weekend (day 2 of the challenge), we almost lost my one year old daughter - she choked and was unable to breathe for long enough that she had gone limp. We prayed, and thank God, she is alive and well. However, it has definitely set me back in my healing process. All this to say - I am SO thankful for this challenge and this healing space, as it truly is so helpful in my mental, emotional, physical and spiritual healing. And if you have struggled with PPD/PPA, you are not alone, and I have seen progress before & I know I will again, and you will too. Whatever life throws at us, I am grateful we are all here for each other. ♥️
Hi fam! I was camping last weekend so I missed the first couple days of the challenge but I am super excited to get started! I’ll be going for 45/60 workouts this time around. This is my 6th challenge!! I cant believe how far I’ve (and the whole global fam!) have come since the first challenge in May of 2020! My super goals for this challenge are:
Get to bed on time so I can get up on time to do my workouts!
Enjoy/prioritize the shorter workouts! I’m a 60 minute junkie and tend to be an “all or nothing” person (which lately has meant a lot of nothing). A quick trip to the mat is better than no trip to the mat!
Work on my push-ups. I lost a lot of ground last winter after injuring my elbow. Time to get some strength back!
Growing up I was always dragged to my brother and sister’s sporting events and my mom kept signing me up for sports I didn’t want to play. I begged to sit the bench, as I had zero self confidence in my abilities. My family always teased me about being the unathletic one in the family. Fast forward to today and I am the one who is the most active and in shape. (Fueled this days by long walks and Mbody!) Just wanted to share that for those mommas who kids don’t want to play sports or for those of you who were like me. What an exciting journey life can be! Xoxo
Posture body Done and a veggie added to every dinner this week. Lunch is never sure here... 😕 but dinner is! Happy meal! What is your favorite meal fam?
Hi! I just ate some Crispers because I consider them to be crackers in the Goldfish category of crackers. I am not touching chips, ie above chip but certainly not on par with Carr’s. I recall that there was a debate if a Crisper is a cracker or a chip. Any comments, please? I feel kind of bad eating Crispers because they may be technically chips and avoiding chips was my goal. Thanks.
