Happy Halloween to any of the fam who celebrates šŸ‘»šŸŽƒ! As per Marnie’s request here’s some costume content šŸŽ‰My youngest kiddo has a great sense of humor and loves a funny costume. She’s been a piece of toast, a traffic cone, and kale (yes, kale). This year, she’s going as a bush šŸ˜‚

First off, loving seeing everyone’s emoji choices. I’m a horse girl at heart, and looked at this challenge as a bit of a 21 day sprint, so naturally šŸŽ

Secondly, the last workout of the challenge was an absolute doozy. Forgot how challenging that sweat 45 was šŸ˜…

Most importantly, hoping all who participated had a great 21 days, whatever it looked like!

Five years! Still committed, still obsessed and always grateful! Congrats to my other two Marniversary pals, Britt & Rebecca. I hope your half a decade with Marnie has been just as lovely 🄰

Hi Fam!! Given we may have some new curriculum headed our way, and because periodically I've seen related questions asked, I thought it might be nice to share some equipment I use that I love. First up is this mat:Ā https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092XMWXK7?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_5&th=1&psc=1Ā I have an enthusiastic and aggressive tailbone which has always given me grief in any seated ab work, or really any time I sit period, even when I was a kid. This mat makes sit ups and boat pose possible, whereas before, I had major pain in these positions and couldn't do them because they caused my tailbone to break through the skin (sorry if this is TMI and intense, just hoping it's helpful). It does slip around, and it is a bit fragile, but I use it under my normal Manduka mat for cushion and it's fabulous.
Secondly, after almost five years of M/BODY I decided to buy a barre. I bought this freestanding one, per a recommendation from the fam: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082WVC5TF?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 So far, I'm super happy with the quality. It's light, but does stay put on a concrete floor, and I've been able to successfully fairy jump without it slipping out from under me. I'm a 5'7, solid woman 🤣 and it handles my body weight like it's nothing.
And, lastly--if you're in the market for inexpensive hand weights, I've been super happy with my All Motion ones from Target. The quality for price can't be beat.
Anyone else have any tips or products they love for this work?

hi Fam! I've been missing the live energy as summer winds down, but still showing up in the play back. Thanks for all the great comments under each video description. It's so helpful to know what I'm getting myself intoĀ šŸ˜‚.. Ā For this month, and the theme of adventure, I've been doing ONLY workouts that I HAVE NOT favorited. I started it a week ago, and so far, I've kinda been loving the return to things I either struggled to be connected with, or just didn't jive on. As a person whose challenge lies in slowing down, I've appreciated the mind shift. Just a thought, if anyone is wanting to throw more adventure, even if it's mental (and really, it kind of all is), into their workout routine. Have a great week fam!!

My mini and I are going to be missing the live this morning, but wishing all who can make it a fabulous time! ALSO, major thanks to Marnie for the shoutout to my girl, Eliza, last week and to the welcome via comments— she lit up (which is in fact this month’s theme) 🄰🄰🄰

Thinking of all of you this morning, so many celebrations, worries, stresses, and everything in between. I love the idea that light can and does exist in all these spaces. Grateful šŸ«¶šŸ»
