I love a knockout sweat class! This one uniquely kept us standing the entire time. Just need space for front and side kicks, and some kick backs. Could add low handweights if you wanted, but I felt stretched and stronger (and sweaty) after with no equipment.

An ass-tastic booty burn class (crouton buns lol) with some building upon sequences while standing and while down on the mat. I'm feeling my arms and pectoraliss the following day as well! Marnie suggests the rock motion to give wrist relief when down on the mat in all 4s (actually on hands and one knee while other leg is dancing). I can't wait to do this class at home with my barre and try the back-to-barre sequence! The slight variations to a Sig 60 felt refreshing and offered a new challenge; such as the leg work in hip bridges which was scratching my brain and also presenting the burn in my thighs and glutes to me in living color, which was a great feeling to know how much I worked them already! Love a birthday class - thank you for the shout out and HBD Caroline S. and mini Evie!

Wow, you achieved this amidst ALL of the things! Way to go, Bella Ballerina!

Sweaty build-upon class where we add on, yet count is somehow doable. Superior focus on upper body without any planking whatsoever. Hand weights frfr when we get there! So much ass-tastic squats (especially as I chose lower impact squats over jumps tonight) and my back and core are activated even doing this class without a stable surface. Mostly standing albeit we’re dropping it LOW at times. Movement ball under feet and at the very end of class the ball is behind your back while in a crunch position down on the mat (yet we work core and obliques throughout standing series). Foot position ranges from parallel to turn out; some low wide second positioning; hips gooey with circles and tucks. Did I already mention sweaty? ❤️90s hip hop❤️

Full agreement with all comments before me. Approach this class with a playful mindset, as the M/ovement ball is a wiggly bug and may or may not stay where you plan as we are lunging knee onto ball and rising up from the ball, and some other wild muscle engagement. I am grateful for the original ball for under my arches (bigger shoe size here) and under my knee, and the smaller M/ovement ball squeezed behind my knee is the perfect size (still hard to keep it there with movement and sweat, but that’s part of the fun and play!). I did this one Live, but look forward to doing again from the catalog with pause/rewind button for when I need to play fetch with my escaping ball. Adding to Favorites for a playful challenge and a all-muscles-activated-neck-to-toes class.

This no-equipment class incorporates beautiful “hover” moments of pause at the top before descending again- LOVED that! We are first sequencing in standing position and the second half of the choreographic flow brings us down to the mat on knee(s) and hand(s). Low-impact with a brief moment to be light and jump. Need room for elongation, extensions (standing and down on the mat), side to side to have a wide stance and a knee-up from your back leg, and room behind for the curtsy position. It’s not just the current heatwave in the mid-Atlantic; this 20 minute class heated me up!
