Every challenge I have done I set my goal for the full 60 days. This challenge has been very challenging for me in ways I was not able to control, such as getting sick twice and an injury. I have been debating for a while now to change my goals and listen to what my body is telling me. Last week, while sick on the couch I was writing in my journal and I came to the realization that my challenge needs to be about slowing down and managing what I can control. I know that I can complete 60 days, I have done it before (more than a few times😉)! What I need to focus on is showing up to the mat each and every time my body allows me to, and to honor the days I need to rest or slow down even if it means to miss a live - I never like to miss a live, who does?

I will be shifting my goals from 60 days to 45+ and to move everyday I have the strength to. I will respect my body and serve it well because it is the only one I have!

Thanks for reading!💜

Great workout this morning on PopSugar IG!

Added challenge is being quizzed about Pokémon characters your child drew while you’re getting your M/Body workout “me time” in. Whew! 🤪😂💪🎨 (I don’t post about Eli on IG, but he is often in the background and sometimes trying the choreography and cool down stretches with me).

I reached my personal goal of 30 workouts! In fact I’ve done 33 so far (don’t mind me being rebellious and doing a workout meant for May 1st).

My next goal for this challenge is 40 workouts.

My absolutely FAVE part of these challenges is rediscovering old workouts, because I tend to circulate the same 10 over and over hehe.

I’ve enjoyed this challenge far more than precious ones, because I didn’t push myself beyond my energy levels and just did what I felt like really!

Sending you all SO much love!!!!!!!

Xxx

I honestly love all of the workouts, but looking through, I think #69 45min abs and glutes was a kicker!!

Something scary: I have difficulty with speaking in public or even on Zoom. I've been working on this a lot lately, as it is needed for my position at work. I've been working on grounding myself and breathing. Also having a post it saying "I Am Enough," because I am. I'll keep working on this! Work in progress ✨️

I loved the cardio sweat 111. I’m a fan of anything that gets my HR up and the sweat flowing. I can’t believe we are over 2/3 through the challenge. Bravo to my fellow challengers! I’ve never exercised this many days in a row my life and I’m definitely seeing some positive changes in my body and my mental health. 💪❤️

My favorite class on challenge board two is the M/<45 90’s Hip Hop Sweat /167. I enjoyed the moves, music, and the uplifting vibe. With the hardship our world is facing, Marnie’s words and the connection with the global fam were and are poignant.

This was difficult to pick! Today’s answer is M/ <45 90s Hip Hop Sweat 47 (because that playlist carried me through) and M/<45 Ballet Sculpt & Stretch (as the class flew by and I yearn for more of that poetic, ballet grace and hope to make progress in my ability to do leg stretches at the barre with a straight leg).

I try to comment under each video I do, but by the end of class I am a sweaty ball of love and gratitude for the experience. Will try to hone in on writing specifics in my comments for those who are picking a class based on what they read. And for those who post about some of their fav go-to classes on social media, pls know I am thankful and taking notes for inspiration on which classes to try next when the challenge is over.

Grounded sweat 179 was challenging and super sweaty. My legs and glutes have been super sore, but this class, like many others always seemed to stretch me in just the right places and I felt so much stronger on the other side. Today’s live was no different! My body thanks me every time and I am starting to find that the longer classes fly by. It’s hard to pick a favorite when they’re all so great. Xoxo and Happy Easter! Also, congrats on your US Citizenship, Marnie😍🇺🇸

I am making myself choose just one, not easy!! For me it was the <45 Detox Sweat Live. The energy and love from that live class with the videos 🥺 So thankful fam!

How about you??
