It was one of my favorite workouts ever! 😍I thought it was so thoughtful of Marnie to purchase and use a normal chair so she knows what many of us are working with. It was a love letter to my lower back as well as my hips. Loved that it was mainly low impact and the moves were so much fun. With barre workouts, my feet often hurts when I have to rest it on top of the chair because it isn’t rounded, but there were no moves like that with the chair workout. PLEASE keep them coming, it was fire! 💥

That was splendid 🧘🏻‍♀️What’s the song at the end? So calming.

Definitely 45 mins! 20-30 mins is usually not enough for me when I can only get on the mat 2-3 times a week. 60 minutes feels too long and 45 minutes is still as tiring and very effective. From my experience so far, 45 mins have more variety in the movements whereas the 60 uses more ball and standing moves.

That went by super quick! 💨 I enjoyed every minute of it, even though I couldn’t feel my legs several times 😳 My favorite was all the leg lifts with weights behind my knees.

I already know I will love it and favorite it because it’s 1) sculpt, 2) 45 mins, AND 3) low impact 😁

A toughie but a goodie! 💪🏻✨

Short but packed with powerful moves, I wanted to keep going!

The moves are fast and kept my brain working the whole time! I need to return to this so I can do the moves better next time 🥴

Thank you for the tips, Marta! A nutritionist sounds so helpful. I’m not sure how to find a good one here in Japan though, there are so many different diets and methods out there that I’m not sure where to begin in terms of finding the right key words to look up… In the mean time, I shall look up Tom Herbert.

Emily Parker Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions! You and Lindsey have some similar suggestions that I should look into and implement. I’ve been trying to eat more protein, more often throughout the day.

I’m an adoptive momma so I don’t breastfeed, but I think all the moving around helping kids contributed to the weight loss…?! Lots of love back from Japan!
