Hey Chantale Desjardins ! I hope you are well beautiful. 

I have used 1lb bala weights on my ankles during a 60 min class for the entire duration and in my opinion, I found it to be a bit of  a distraction during the warm-up and cardio portions... However during the barre/glutes series, I found it to be enjoyable and beneficial for stimulating the muscles. I would def recommend for barre leg + glute and floor glute series. But if it takes you out of the form or is putting strain on you, I wouldn't recommend it. I say, give it try and see what you like! 

And I hope you have wonderful day too!!!

I love this style of the Arm Dance class, it feels unique to the other arm dance classes. I feel so amazing. Lots of fun and relaxing for the mind. Awesome playlist. Adding to my favs! Thank you!! Marnie- you're an awesome teacher!! So grateful for you. 

Thank you love. I'm so accustomed to giving and taking care of others that asking for some TLC is humbling and beautiful. I appreciate it and I appreciate you!! 

This is so beautiful and honest Amanda. It's inspiring to know you're a photographer and artist. This self-portrait is moving. So happy you shared because it's inspiring my creativity over here. Really awesome girl.

Cass!!!!! Big hugs! Thank you for sharing about your hard times. It gives me hope (Hearing-Other-Peoples-Experience) that everything will be alright. This community is the closet thing I've ever had to girlfriends. I'm used to doing everything on my own and it's nice having having support and women to talk with, it's still so new to me. I've opened up before and have been rejected and laughed at, and it remains difficult to open up again and to trust myself. I still sometimes think I have to do it all myself and have it all figured out, and it's too much pressure living in that space.

Thank you.  Thank you for taking the time share this with me. And such a wonderful reminder too. Thank you for being so kind and giving me inspiration. That is a beautiful gift. And BTW, "4) All the colors (the journey IS the destination and you are here to be fully, authentically you in every hue of your glorious self!)" is fav- it's totally bringing me out of my cage. You're a rock star Cass! Love yah!
