Just wanted to say that doing this class really showed me how strong I've gotten in the last year: I actually ended up modifying the pushup section for challenge, stay on my hands the whole time and rolling into downward facing dog instead of child's pose. A year ago, I NEVER would have thought possible, never mind automatically going into challenge vs. avoiding it. Every year I feel like I get even more self-aware in terms of mind body connection here, and it really is amazing to see how far M/Body (and the fam!) has come in just three (almost four!) years. Cannot wait for all of the challenge and growth to come in 2024!

More restorative classes, more cardio dance, and more kickboxing (my absolute favorite!). I try to actively work out five days a week, but I find that one of those days HAS to be either a yoga or restorative stretch class, as I'll burn out otherwise. Would love to see a little more of that here! 

I usually can’t do Wednesday lives, but when I can, my preference is always 9 AM PST/12 PM EST! I find that’s typically easier when it comes to a standard work day 😊

Holiday challenge officially complete!! Thanks again for the inspo Lindsey Jordan <3

So grateful for your sharing this, Lindsey Jordan!! I'm planning to do all of the holiday classes this week to really get in the spirit :)

Just had to share how much I loved this sustainably strong class. This one starts out light and challenges you, in the kindest, sneakiest, and most fun way, to stay in the fire without the distraction of any big, heart-pounding cardio bursts (which are sometimes exactly what you need, but which can also sometimes be intimidating). This is what I would call a strong simmer of a class, and it was joyful, simple, and strong. A new fave!

I have a love-hate with chair dance workouts. Safety for me is #1 when working out, so I can sometimes be a little hesitant or anxious when trying a semi-unfamiliar tool. This chair dance was challenging in a good way, both mentally and physically--I'm still sore!--but I do wish that some aspects of it had been slowed/broken down a little more so I felt more confident/comfortable throughout. I would love a foundational chair class in the future: something that breaks down moves in a step-by-step way that we'll incorporate and build upon in future chair classes, if they become more frequent. I don't know if chair classes will ever be something I'll want to do all the time, but it is fun to see the new challenges that can come from a new tool! And future classes will allow me to see which of my home chairs work best, too :)

To be honest, the 60 will always be my fave: not only because it’s the most “holistic” workout, but also because it feels the most balanced in terms of pacing (I usually prefer endurance to sprints 😊). That said the 45 minutes are a close second—I love the slightly faster, more playful energy they have—and I do 30s on weekdays almost exclusively because that’s all I have time for. I like the balance the platform currently has!

I usually use a windows dell laptop, but I also sometimes use a MacBook Air and my iPhone. If I don’t use the app, I always use a chrome browser!
