I woke up in a lot of pain today- Iāve suffered from arthritic flare ups since my 20s and though I havenāt had one in a while I knew thatās what was going on. Iāve been going 100 miles a minute since I finished a full time job in December and think I have just pushed my body too hard. Iām working on the 10 day challenge and have done M\body everyday since sometime before Christmasā¦ there was a big part of me that kept thinking I āshouldā do a workout today. But I finally listened to what my body NEEDS and thatās a day of rest! Iām already feeling better and I still had a very productive day- win/winš Love that Marnie always encourages listening to our bodies- mine was talking loud and clear š Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day and Iāll hop back on the challenge šŖšŖ
Idk how Iāve never done this workout but it moved me so much and I wanted to post the poem here for all to enjoy š
Phenomenal Woman
BY MAYA ANGELOU
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
Iām not cute or built to suit a fashion modelās size
But when I start to tell them,
They think Iām telling lies.
I say,
Itās in the reach of my arms,
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
Iām a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
Thatās me.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
Itās the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
Iām a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
Thatās me.
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they canāt touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them,
They say they still canāt see.
I say,
Itās in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
Iām a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
Thatās me.
Now you understand
Just why my headās not bowed.
I donāt shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing,
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
Itās in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need for my care.
āCause Iām a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
Thatās me.

Yesterday was about showing yourself love + gratitude and today is about sharing it. It doesnāt have to take long or be a grand gestureā¦ just a short message out of the blue to someone who makes your life a little bit (or a lot) better.
Hereās some inspo to get you stared:
ā I love how youāre always there for people when they need you ā
āThank you for being such a good friendā
ā l love your laughā
āThank you for always having my backā
ā I notice how hard you work and how much you do to take care of the people around you. Iām so grateful for you.Ā“
āYouāre so coolā
Love, Marnie xo
Loved this morningās workout. Added āKnockout Sweatā to the mix and it was š„š„š„.
Have a fabulous Friday ā„ļøš¦š
What a class to kick off 2023!Maybe in my own head but I felt I was twinning with Marnie (a bit) on Wednesday haha- I got 2 bodysuits for Christmas and couldnāt wait to get back to the mat to try themš¤©I also received some bala bangles so Iām buzzing to revisit one of those workouts today!Have a fantastic Friday and weekedn fam,sending you all lots of love and a very happy new year!!!š
Happy start to 2023 M/Bod-ians! I shortened my user name to 'jennyg'. It's faster to type then jennygroener lol (pronounced gray-ner). I am so thankful for this community of awesome humans. I may not get to shout out to you during live classes (I am a slow typer) all at once. Just know my smiles and heart are always beaming out to all of you during lives. I'm going to be at the IRL L.A. class. I hope to meet some of you in person for the first time and reconnect with some of the OG crew!! So freakin stoked! xo
Cheers everyone! 2022 was an incredible year, filled many ups and downs. It started with Covid, joining M/Body-making new friends, winning the Spring/Summer Challenge, to preparing for marriage to getting married, finishing school, to experiencing a miscarriage and having my first surgery ever, to taking time off to recover and grieve the loss of our baby. I haven't really been around on the CB since September and I've missed you all!
It has not been easy, but my soul is grateful for the experience and how much it's allowed me to grow.
My word for this year is "Surrender". To practice patience and humility often and to not possess the trait of self-reliance in excess which creates a collapse inward.
For Christmas I got a portal Barre!! I can retire my good ol' dining room chair. I'm so excited to workout with this barre this year! Peace and love to you all!!
Oh my gosh we had a rough end to 2022 with both girls getting RSV and one being hospitalized for 6 daysā¦. I myself got it followed by a sinus infection. I am thankful to put a close to 2022 and have everyone home for the start of 2023 and on the mend. Today was my first workout in 3 weeks! It was challenging but felt so good.
