I was desk crew for the live (so grateful for the back healing chat after, thank you sweet Marnie) and am glad to be ready for the heavier weights again. I mostly stuck with my 10s and picked up the 12 for the single weight. I initially tried to start with 12s and had to shush my ego to do this safely and with fidelity with lighter weights. Class goes quickly and we build so our muscles can go deeper or with more reps as our beginning choreography prepped us. Appreciate Caroline S's class comment (and others') before doing this class!

Beautifully paced, moving with intention, fabulous with added ankle weights, warming and muscle-engaging/burning but keeps you here and felt like a meditative movement to a degree. Will be returning! Going to pair this with a 20 min power sculpt. ❤️

Happy Birthday class, Julia!!! 🩵

Finally caught up on this one- don't miss it! No equipment (yet I used my movement ball between my knees during the kneeling abs/hips/leg work. M/BODY class description and Caroline S.'s summary were spot on; this class has segmented parts but it all flows wonderfully together. We go from aerobic to anaerobic, but the stretches in motion feel good on the muscles just worked and the more calm stretch moments prepare us for a burst up ahead. Don't let a "sweat" class intimidate you; it's designed to be doable and there are always options. I try to challenge myself to take on the jumps at all opportunities for bone density, but you can do this one without jumps if you prefer.

Caroline S.  Wonderful class synopsis to read before hand and know what lies ahead. Thanks Caroline!

Beautifully said and that love beautifully poured into your mama waits for you, too. 💗

4-round warm up, weight series you can try your higher weights if you’re in between 2, great music, whatever you’re doing- it could be on relevé, dropping low and rising slow, just keep squeezing, and some crouching plank dances but our girl Tina Turner is always a canary in a coal mine AND she will guide you through just as sure as momma earth will catch you. And thank all the stars in the sky for sisters. 🧸

Grateful to catch this class Live! It was warming and I was sweaty and catching my breath in moments, but we worked sustainably and I finished class feeling accomplished but not depleted. Several others commented at the end of class in the live chat how it felt like a relaxing sweat/workout, felt balancing, and they’re leaving class feeling peaceful. The work at the barre incorporates focus on one side at a time and brings us down to the mat for a series and then back up to the barre again for the other side. Side leg raises down on the mat while holding the barre above me was a unique feeling. Abdominal work begins standing earlier in class and gets a lot of focus down on the mat as well. The ab choreography brought new flavors to some familiar patterns; I enjoy experiencing minor changes that create big shifts in how it feels.

Monique I needed a cardio flush for the morning and had minimal time. I wanted something I could adjust to be gentle on my back as the muscles get back to normal. This class worked so well for a quick class elevated heart rate, but I could reduce some of the twists from the core and keep safe while getting in a sweat.

All-standing class, with weights after the first 5 minutes or so (mostly holding one in each hand but some opportunities to hold both in one hand). We are pacing this to build some heat and sweat but maintain a fluid flow (not frenetic speed). Opportunities to add more bounce and freedom of lift without jumps, making this very low impact. I could see my obliques working during class and anticipate I’ll feel it more later. While core focused, I appreciate a whole body workout. Horray for birthdays of #mbodyglobalfam and minis! And chatting after class about things as well as Marnie Magic: yes she can basically see us without seeing us ✨and all the form reminders (no matter to whom) are helpful.
