Oh my gosh this is a great description Simona. Making a note in my spreadsheet that this is a good one after driving and sitting!

What a well balanced workout! Focus on the arms at the beginning, mostly to activate, not burn out, and then we keep them going with the weights throughout the legs on the both sides. The oblique work particularly at the end was fantastic, and the spine openers! So great while we are warm. The end meditation was exactly what I needed to hear. It reminded me that moving through feelings can be like moving through a stretch: it's tight at first and it's easy to resist, but when you really drop in and feel (I like to close my eyes), I slowly go deeper and deeper to a place I didn't think was possible at the beginning. The stretch is easier, deeper, and feels so much better at the end. Thank you Marnie! 

Did this again today, and as all other comments below state, this is challenging, yet so empowering. Marnie, the words at the end about slowing down and being present particularly hit home today. I struggle in my day job at the moment because it is so fast paced. Thank you for showing it is necessary to slow down ❤️

Did this for a second time this morning, and my notes from the curriculum spreadsheet when I did it in my December were to challenge myself to not drop my arms next time. I leaned into my strength and didn't drop them this morning! Whoo! Proud of my growth, believing in myself, and as Marnie reminds us, to speak kind words to myself because as she says, the body listens ❤️

Came back to this workout this morning, honestly inspired by a previous comment about coming out a few times in the past. I'm proud to report that I stayed in the fire the whole time. Although it was challenging, it was doable. Hooray for growing in millimeters :) I found myself focusing on the second booty side less on the fire in my leg kneeling on the ball and instead in my booty, and it helped so much!! Marnie, your words of positive self talk are rubbing off on me - told myself I could do the challenging abs at the end, and I did! 

GUYS! The pure JOY I felt in this class. Marnie put two of my requests on (and I so rarely put them in), that I was singing and jamming the whole time, grinning ear to ear particularly for my songs. 

I loved the glute work, the dancy cardio, and country vibe. The core work at the end was especially engaging, and one of my favorite moves was the glute sequence with the kick. Thank you Marnie for this spectacular class. Favoriting and cannot wait to come back in the future! 

Fire builds in the thighs in the first portion, and then we're down on the floor for some challenging ab engagement while balancing on the ball and more challenging ab work on the floor! Favoriting and coming back to it in the future to dig deeper into the fire. Awesome 30 min workout, and the final message was exactly what I needed to hear: we are best when we are the most authentic. <3 

Lovely different flow of a class. Felt like a signature, but beautifully interlaced different moves and combos for the brain and body challenge. The knee up standing crunch scenario was challenging to keep my leg up (good to come back). Some ball work that I could go deeper in next time. Sweaty!! Plus, some of the messages (as it almost always happens) were exactly what I needed to hear today.

What a different pushups and planks class! I loved starting on the floor to engage our pelvic floor, and then moving into sequences. A challenge for me today was the shoulder work. I had to come down a few times (also think my hands were too far forward), which means there is room for growth. Favoriting and need to come back to this one consistently in the future to see how I grow. Sidenote: a quote Marnie said in the beginning struck me - "We're not trying to build heat, we're trying to build connection." So good! I'm incorporating building connection into my theme/intention for the coming months.

Ok what a fun workout! My favorite moves were the semi new ones - the forward lunge to arabesque, and the side lunge, little dance to bent arabesque en derrière. I felt joyful, connected, and strong afterwards. Great arms for the first half of class with weights. Great opportunity to really feel into every move throughout class and focus on the details. Favoriting now!
