Sending all the healing to you!!

This weeks knockout sweat!

Get ready to feel like a total badass! Low impact, mostly just bouncy with POWERFUL POWS! The main impact choreo is when we jump from second in parallel back to plank (a little over halfway through). It's a challenge but one that leaves you feeling like a rockstar. We use weights for almost the entire workout, so make sure you pick a weight you can stand. Lots of standing core strength (as is the case with most of our knockout sweats) and leg work that comes from moving plies, kicks and some light jumping jacks to shake out all the SUPER fun kickbox choreo sequences. Next to power sculpt, this class is one of my fave kinds because I always leave feeling super sweaty but like I have used my ENTIRE body in ways that support an all-around conscious, functional strength and balance. Really lovely mobilizing stretch at the end too. This might actually be my fave knockout sweat we've ever done. And the playlists keep killin it!! Thank you, M/Body team, and WELCOME JACK!!!

What a delight! The beginning of this class is super bouncy and joyful with fun kick-y (is that a word?) choreo that helps to shake it all off. Quick weight series, some lovely barre and then a concentrated challenging ab series. Does anyone else feel the fire when we're doing that push the ball against your leg move? I use that to gauge core strength progress because PHEW! I lovedddd this 80s Americana playlist, and I love a good 45 minute Signature! 

Core-centric workouts always feel like the thing I SHOULD do but am hesitant to do, and make no mistake, this one is a challenge! AND it has a real flow to it in a way that moves us from all fours to our back to side planks to our belly and back again. Nothing feels impossible or so challenging that I just thought, "oh no". At least not today! Just gonna keep shouting out all the brilliant ethos around acknowledging perfectionism and capitalism and the pressure on women's relationship with their bodies in this moment in time. In conjunction with focus on and celebration of the nervous system! What other workout platform is doing this?! We are a lucky crew indeed

Rebecca, have you ever watched any of the videos where LP did the workouts while Marnie’s foot was injured? That might be helpful to see a different body doing these movements! I remember feeling less alone even just watching her react to the challenge of certain moves, let alone getting to watch her do the moves themselves while Marnie adjusted. Could be helpful!

Such a well-rounded class that is sweaty and JOYful without feeling like you're huffing and puffing. Some classic and even old-school M/Body moves that are crafted into fun new variations and sequences (the heart-to-heart plank series was my fave). Barre work with the ball on the floor had my legs burningggg! Very doable arm section with 5lbs and a simple and quick ab series on the floor! Was singing along to this playlist from the first to the last second! HAPPY BDAY sweet Monique and fellow Cancer or late June friends! Being made of the same star stuff as Monique is one of the greatest compliments I could get :)

Such a warming and light-filled Juneteenth Summer Solstice celebration. Leg and glute-forward class with work at the barre and all fours. Nice little focused core series at the end with weights. More than anything, I love everything Marnie shared at the end of the class about awareness and presence with ALL the colors and moments of this class and life. Never not grateful for the reminder to notice when I lock in on my own internal narrative and what hurts or is uncomfortable vs my strength and that change is a-comin! Equally SO SO SO grateful to be part of a community that values strength over 'shoulds'. Happy Birthday fellow late June babies! I hope this was a special as all of you!!

This is such a lovely leg-y/glute-y ballerina stretch that brought some sweat and was also a nice warm stretch. Thanks for this stretch!

Phew! That curtsy to gate-ish pose back up to knee raise combo was a doozy! I love these power sculpt classes and how functional each movement and exercise feels. Standing class with lots of movements in all directions. I do believe ALL the muscles got worked. We're on a run of particularly good playlists, in my humble opinion!
