Early M/Body G/Fam birds - what’s your tips for excercising early in the morning?
I need your help you lovely lot! I’ve always been a night owl (this didn’t change when my baby girl came along 🤣🙈) and an evening workout after work/once little girl’s in bed and before dinner has been my little routine and I’ve loved it! However,now that Lily goes to bed later (7.-7.30pm),doing a “Marnie” (as we call it on our household💗) before making dinner will result in a very late cooking session and sitting down for a meal and I feel we don’t have much of an evening left. So I’ve decided something’s gotta give! My husband and I we both decided to workout early in the morning instead! I’m on week 3-trying to get up at 5.30 am as I’m on the mat by 6 am at the latest! It’s surprisingly not as difficult as I thought but I feel I’m a bit more weak in the morning. Are there many fam members out there who are on a similar routine? Do you eat before an early morning excercise? What are you fave classes to do? I also don’t feel like a lot of bounce and mainly have been focusing on shorter classes but maybe it’s something my body will get used to! Any tips would be welcome!💗Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post!lots of love xxxx

I am so happy to complete my ball collection and FINALLY do the corresponding class. I am also very excited about the gliders and very optimistic they will make the towel classes feel more accessible on carpet! Thanks M/Body!

I'm nervously anticipating Marnie's use of sliders starting in a couple weeks. I already have them from barre classes I took before and they can be amazing for your abs and...well, everything, really! Who else is excited?

Hey fam. I’m really struggling at the moment and need some support and maybe some suggestions from you on how to deal with the following situation if you’ll be kind enough to spare a minute or two ❤️ please skip if you’re a sensitive soul just like myself ❤️
I have a colleague (magda) who I was really good friends with. Last year I learned her partner (ivan) was getting a bit physical with her. Magda was away at the time and we had him over. He himself told us he was getting physical with her and blamed it everything but himself. (His low blood sugar, the fact that magda was “yapping” at him) My husband and I couldn’t believe what we were hearing and immediately stood our ground and an argument ensued. After he left- I told magda and all she did was get angry at my husband and I for arguing with Ivan. Two weeks later they met with us and said actually nothing happened, nothing ever happened and we were bad friends. Ivan said the words “imagine going to your friends with a small problem and all they do is yell at you.” It’s obvious he sees this as a small problem - but my husband and I don’t! Also they banned us from telling anyone because “people talk and exaggerate things”. Since then she has been so snarky with me at work with horrible little comments here and there. It makes going to work so so difficult. It creates so much fear in me, and I feel as if she is bullying me.
Thank you for reading through all this, I love you fam. ❤️

I have endometrosis and I can have days of feeling not so great with cramping, pelvic pain, bloating, and fatigue. Today, was one of those days and I was struggling to decide if a workout would diminish or exacerbate symptoms. I was looking through the catalog feeling unsure of what would be best - low impact, bouncy and energizing, targeted workout, etc. I am sure many of you have felt this way that you aren’t sure what your body is craving some days. Will this workout serve me or should I have chosen a different session? Well, I chose the new chair dance- 30 min session and it was exactly what I needed! My pelvic discomfort lessened and I felt a sense of relief throughout of my body. Don’t you just love when you choose a session that is exactly what you needed in that moment?!
I appreciate this group and the good positive energy you all exude.

Just a thought with the app
I feel like I’ve heard Marnie say that if we think if anything that we think could improve the app to mention it (or maybe I’m making that up 🤷🏻‍♀️😂)
But, i would love to have a spot under the videos for me to leave comments, more like notes just for myself…I have a lot of favorites after being here for years now and if I could leave myself a little blurb on why I loved that class or even why some just didn’t work well for me that would be so awesome and make it a little bit more personalized.

This sets the tone for a wonderful year! 30 days of dry January, 30 days of Yoga (with Adriene) and 15 days of M/body ( with Marnie and all of you). Keeping this up through February with more M/body. Xo

Happy birthday to the newest M/body minis, Daniel & Levi! 💙💙
