An instant favorite! Monique's description is fabulous. I really appreciated the form reminders in this class, which brought a deeper burn in my legs and booty. The wide second series had me shaking, and the barre work also had me dropping into the fire. The ab series near the end was a great challenge that had me digging deep, and the music throughout was just fantastic! Congrats Marnie + team on 400 lives! What an ACCOMPLISHMENT! Although I mostly watch in playback, this community is unparalleled and the energy in the class lasts long after the live is over. Thank you for your continued creativity, challenge, meditations, words of deep wisdom ❤️

I think this might be my new favorite Movement ball class!! I LOVED the diversity of combos, the movement on the floor and all over the mat, and how the ball kept my brain in a playful state. Although the moves brought challenge, it was so much more joyful with the addition of the ball! The ending meditation shifted something in me today. It helps me visualize the light in a different way, to be pulled and guided by it, in addition to shining light on others and ourselves. Thank you M for this transformational visualization. ❤️

Fun coming back to this one a few years later as I work through the catalog! My old self was spot on - sweaty class! It was a great mix of activating arms, legs on fire, and planks. Perfect quicky workout!! I also loved the Martha Graham quote: "All that is important in this one moment, in movement, is to make the moment important, vital and worth living. Do not let it slip away unnoticed and unused."

Monique, I read your comment this morning before doing class and "your arms leave you for the afterlife" made me smile :) Now having finished, you hit the nail on the head!!

Wowzer!! What an ARM workout!! Abs felt activated for more of the time, except for the killer series using the weights on the ball. I took a few moments of rest throughout, so I'm looking forward to coming back to this class to improve! My arms felt fatigued at the end, in the best way - I struggled with the both weights in one hand on the ball! Which is such a great thing! Thank you Marnie for another fantastic workout!

As Monique said, this signature flies by!! Slower, simpler warmup and loved the hip opening moves throughout. It was a fun way to incorporate weights in the beginning without feeling overburdened, and I'd like to do this in the future with 5s instead of 3s! This was my first class after vacation (aside from a few I did last week!), and my legs were on FIRE during the barre series! I tried to focus on leaning into the fire, and definitely want to come back to this one! The pushups in the middle felt fabulous as well! Thank you M for another fabulous energizing workout!

I love this challenge idea Amanda! Thank you for sharing - it makes me reflect on how I can channel the spirit of adventure into my life and M/Body classes!

Continuing my journey through the catalog with this one! I loved the switchups in the beginning to the classic warmup, but overall solid sweatyyy oldie but goodie class! More booty focused on the second half of class. Really great no equipment ab sequence for when I'm traveling or just feel like my abs need to be worked! Lovely as always!

Absolutely love these photos! How special for your friend to take them for you, and what a great idea about the mirror! Happy Marnieversary, a few months belated!!

Using inspiration from you to write down what classes I haven't done yet, and working through a lot of 45s and 60s from early in the catalogue! Loved seeing your recent comment here - the theme of taking it one step at a time instead of being fearful ot the whole staircase was exactly what I needed to hear today.
