I cannot wait!!! Pride classes consistently end up on my Favorites list- what a joyful way to kick off a quickie 3-week challenge!!! This is a personal send off to a decade and a welcoming of a new one for me, and I can’t imagine bookmarking it without M/BODY movement to dance my way through.

Sending gratitude for your long arms that create so much in the world, Amanda!

The arm dance is truly 20 minutes, so if you are shorter on time you're still good to go as the class is bookmarked/sectioned out with timestamps. I used mostly 5 lbs. (that's been my goal recently to make 5 lbs. more of my regular than 3 lbs.) but I did switch to 3 lbs. twice as needed to keep the arms up and going. Beautiful work, appreciate incorporating our legs here and there as well. Great for on the go as we don't use a lot of floor space (we curtsy to the back side and are on our knees with one leg stretched to the side, but otherwise often standing). Fab class!

Gliders are fun and (at times) frustrating and effective- for REAL!! Well said, Caroline!

The mantra around minute 26 after the cool down stretch was lovely, start there perhaps, then enjoy this accessible gilder class, which brings that gorgeous inner thigh work, a lot of crossing our medial line, and brief plank postures as we move our legs to really heat it up. This felt opening and strengthening in a totally low impact way.

This 45 minute class felt like a 20-ish minutes! Some serious burny sculpty moments with that ball and barre, beautiful down to the floor and back up again moves that felt so good, and I loved that cardio flush at the end. Old versions of me did not like cardio- who dis? Thanks Marnie for helping me discover and re-discover ways to love movement and heart-healthy moments.

Are you considering doing a 60-minute class but you're not really feeling it? Maybe you can carve the time for it, but the blah mood is making you second guess it? Hi, do this class. Because same, and I feel a lot better after than I did before.

Choreography is engaging but not too complicated when short on patience; pace is wonderfully consistent, muscle burn is there and yet sustainable as we then are shifting to the next and frfr stretches are mixed in. Great shoulder work (rehabbing) opportunities, lymph flushing opportunities, and wonderfully counted and guided by Marnie to keep you going and help explain form (for example: lifting up from our abdomen when on a knee and hand on the mat with other leg and arm lifted to release some tension on the supporting wrist, okay what? It worked!)

All standing at the barre class: simple and yet had my leg muscles so alive they felt like they were speaking to me with a megaphone. The ball is under foot, which adds such a challenge for me in wide second. Muscles of glutes, entire leg, and feet totally activated; hips tucked and twirled and awakened. I felt my core through holding it upright working on proper form. Arms and shoulders have a break in this class; we are holding our dancer's posture and continuously checking to keep our shoulders down from our ears, but if looking for a class that does not work those as much this is a great option. Marnie talks through our go-to stretch at the barre starting around minute 26 and a 1/2; even for someone doing this a while it's always great to review the form and reasons. Marnie goes into the standing hips/glutes tutorial as Katelyn notes in class timestamps and other comments reference- super helpful info! Consider starting there and then start class from the beginning.

I learned in Pilates and barre classes before discovering M/BODY: never count along! The math doesn’t always math and then I’m fighting for my life for those “extra” reps haha

Caroline S I’m so happy if they’re helpful! It’s just my perspective, but I know how much I appreciate reading others’ comments in advance to get a sense of what may come (whether my experience is similar or varies is okay, yet it helps knowing what others’ takeaways were). Thank you for YOUR thoughtful comments, Caroline!
