Found this oldie but goodie on the strive for 5 guide. I'll admit, I was a bit intimidated seeing mentions of pushups and plank series in these comments, but they were awakening and strengthening, and as Marnie says, I'm trying to fall in love with pushups & planks! Other than that, it's a classic signature with a lovely red light elongating series at the barre that's a love letter to my back. Fantastic if you want a little bit of everything!

Did this for the first time as a part of the Strive for Five Guide - what a beauty of a class! All around wonderful - cardio dance, fun weighted combos that reminded me of Posture Perfect /323 (which I did yesterday!), fiery barre with the ball, glute elongating work, activating abs and beautiful stretch. Instant fav, along with a killer playlist and an ending song from an M/body fam member 🤩

Good, balanced all around signature. It starts off quick and fast, but gives way to legs, booty, FIRE abs, and a lovely quick detox stretch. 

Marnie's comment about what lockdown taught her, that she thought she needed the walls, but in fact, that was limiting and look where she has gone and built now. Super powerful to think about that growth mindset, which parallels the end comments after class about how we can look for measures of growth in our bodies and movements, not just by how heavy of weights we can pick up. 

Monique - just did the live, and read the comments afterward. LOVE this frame: each move was chosen by a fam member, and what a powerful way to think about it, especially when, like you, I was challenged. 

Missed the live, but what fabulous energy and WHAT. A. SWEAT! Lots of jumps and cardio, which felt great to get the heart rate up. A fair amount of booty work as well. Absolutely loved the end meditation which provided a thought shift: spelling = casting spells. Words carry energy, and we have the power to choose how we speak about ourselves. Thank you Marnie for that incredible vital reminder. 

Fantastic combos, and I look forward to returning to this to challenge with myself with the weights, as I didn't complete all of the moves with both weights in one arm when suggested! 

Fantastic burn, and I channeled Lindsey pairing this with the recent arms & abs. The fire in the legs was real, and the moves in wide second at the beginning with the use of the barre were just what I needed. Really felt my hips opening up. I finally have my M/Body ball back, and it was such a thrill to use it today for the second half of class! 

I see it Julia!! So beautiful!

Been thinking about this and I think I’ve settled on what balance means to me this month: A balance of surrendering society’s expectations and those I’ve put on myself and making the effort to be radically honest with myself about what I want/what will bring me joy and open to possibility.

I think this might be one of my favorites. As Dani said, it is the kind of class I can come back to again and again. Marnie's comments about really tuning into your body sunk in during this flow. I reconnected with my body and with its relationship to gravity. Great core work and also interlaced flexibility. Thank you Marnie & M Body Team!
