I focused on dropping into the 4 sets of 8 and "last 16," which brought the shakes and feeling of accomplishment! Fiery, balanced workout, with a focus on the legs and booty at the barre. 

Back to basics, but 10x better because of LP! It was SO helpful to see Marnie's corrections in real time, as others have noted, and made me feel like I was taking an IRL class in real time. I particularly loved Lauren's facial expressions - her moments of fatigue and pushing through helped give me the strength to do the same. Thank you Marnie for your words about this month's theme, and a reminder of what we did through the challenge: made a commitment to self and followed through. ❤️

Finally got to this one and what an awesome warming stretch series. The strap simultaneously kept my arms engaged while stretching my chest and shoulders. I felt so open after this one! Definitely coming back to this in the future!

Take 2 with this workout, and I LOVED IT, particularly the slower, focused pace. It really forced me to tune in, to focus on the details of every move. It's also a love letter to the side core, and I loved the end core work and unique stretch! Did it, mostly successfully, with 5 lbs this time!

I loved this class! So different than anything I'd done before, and thinking about how Marnie couldn't put pressure on her foot made me try to the same, which was so helpful to engage what we were trying to!! Great deep core work that definitely challenged my mind. Thank you for the release meditation - I've started saying it everyday, and it has been so helpful, grounding, and perspective shifting.

Admittedly a bit nervous for this because my legs were already kind of sore, but this was so doable and strengthening! Hip openers, some lengthening, and mostly bone density strengthening at the barre. Lovely 20 minutes!

Such kind words!! And yes - so much better for the mind. Amen!! 

As Lindsey J said, we got served in this class, in the best way!! LOTS of awesome hip circles, fiery 3 sets of legs and really nice booty. I was both parts excited and nervous for this class, and it was an awesome, doable challenge. Loved the 5 lbs too! Probably will be feeling my legs tomorrow!

Yay for putting yourself out there Courtney and for participating in the challenge!! So happy you are here. I feel the exact same way about M/Body and this community - I'm part of who I am today because of this movement, Marnie, and the community!

Wonderful reflections Claudia. Thank you for sharing and I'm proud of you for showing up! The photo of you, Molly, Lindsey, Becca, and Steph brought me such joy!!
