Did this (again! which I just realized when I saw an older comment from myself!) for Challenge Spring 2024 and ended up absolutely loving this class! An amazing playlist, with Intentions by Justin Bieber which made me think of my hip-hop college dance class :) Monique hit the nail on the head: sweaty, but not overly challenging that I left feeling burnt out. Love the arm dance at the barre and booty work with the weight behind the knee! Want to come back to try 4-5 lbs in my arms at the barre!

Loved coming back to this one for the 2024 Spring Challenge! I remember having trouble picking up the complex choroeographic sequence in the middle the first time I did it, but this time it came so much easier! So fun to see the growth! Thank you Marnie for a FUN cardio dance!

Thank you for this recommendation Vale! I’ll definitely need to look into it because it sounds right up my alley!

Fire in the legs! I loved all of the new combos in this class. A definite challenge for the legs and glutes which I can't wait to come back to!

Definitely a new favorite! I loved the combinations of new moves, twists, and felt so empowered with 5 lb weights! The end left me dripping with sweat and the meditation had me in tears! Exactly what I needed to hear and now off to journal about those fears while shining light on them.

Update: although this class wasn't as challenging as I initially, my inner thighs are feeling it today (felt like Marnie when I noticed it saying to myself "hello inner thighs!"). Marnie magic as always!

Lovely standard signature. Some jumps, and red light series alternates between the barre and the floor. Plank series felt great! Proud of myself for mostly keeping up with Marie's speed, but definitely one to come back to. Great abs work with the ball at the end! I challenged myself by learning more into the fire and I found that mindset really helped. Lots of lovely phrases, but the ones that stuck with me were our body is always in shape because we're constantly making shapes, nature shows us that we can't be stuck (we're ever-changing and evolving), and be the loving witness, not the judge.

I was nervous to do this one, but it wasn't nearly as hard as I expected (hooray for growth & strength!)! Definite leg burn and activation, which also felt glorious in the hips. Loved channeling my inner ballerina! Extraordinary message at the end about what is for you and how it should feel easy and light. Can't wait to come back to this one!

Me too Chantale! I was nervous to do this, finally got to it this morning, and absolutely loved it!

Came back to this class today! Lovely add on with challenging triceps work for me, but tried not to my arms down! A brief warmup, and then weights which felt activating in my back (in the best way) and then knees tor triceps and floor for abs. Well rounded! Thank you Marnie!
