Ab-tastic class!! Standing abs (hip tucks galore) then some plank work then some ball mat work… This class has the slow burn and sculpting but quick sequences that keeps the brain engaged. My hips/glutes were feeling the arm weight series and barre work. Completely full body and then melting into a 1-2 minute meditation of gratitude and self-love to our bodies which carried us through this powerful class. Next day: dancer’s dent, lower abs, and obliques are shouting a roll call with every move and laugh.

This grounded (all floor, no equipment although ball is optional back support) class warmed me up on a cold winter’s day, moved quickly with fabulous choreography sequences (some I needed to watch Marnie do once or twice first so I could follow along correctly), and it brought some challenge but also beautiful flow (aka elegant curse words for me). A lot of moving in and out of downward dog. The words of meditation at the end are SO important for you to hear, please listen in. The next day I am feeling this class in my obliques and abs.

classic M/Body moves that bring the heart rate and some sweat in a very short amount of time - perfect for when you need quick and easy (no props/equipment and all standing except very ending plank work) or as an add-on.

This was serious inner thigh (and all leg) work in a very quick, low impact, anaerobic class. I was feeling warmed up and worked very quickly. This would pair well with another short class (such as arms or a cardio dance), but I was looking for something short for this morning and hope to do a restorative flow class tonight. Use of the movement ball is great in between knees toward the end of class, but this could be an equipment-free class if needed.

This class felt SO good during it, and challenging at many times. The superwoman move on the mat with the ball under forehead and hand weights was out of control! I felt incredibly strong after class especially in my postural muscles, and the morning after I am FEELING it everywhere. I used my trusty 3 lb. weights (holding both in one hand at the barre), but can I get a welfare check on my girls who used 5 lb. weights?? 😮‍💨💪💖

All standing barre class (only down on the mat for the final wide straddle stretch and meditation). Zero impact class, no bounce or jumps, but serious leg work that stretches from toes up through postural core muscles. My legs were shaking, my hips were loosening and feeling so warmed up, and that balletic flow feels so beautiful even if I'm catching the choreography. Use of breath is so powerful for staying in the fire and for the leg lifts. Progress and not perfection always. Will return to this class when I need that balletic flow with ease of pulses instead of jumps (great class for headaches or sinus pressure when you need movement but bouncing and inversions do not feel good).

Echoing Miranda that you need space for kicks (space encircling you, front/back/sides) and echoing Megan about this class getting you out of your thoughts - the choreography required all of my attention and there was no room for ruminations in class. I appreciate how Marnie keeps it real and allows us to see that sometimes these longer choreography series can even cause the pro to take a moment to get the series in the order she originally created. This was not jumpy but it was very cardio activating, heart-rate increasing, and sweaty. Another great one to step into when you are low on time and are ready to build some energy or release some energy.

Fun and joyful signature, with some bounce options and some serious leg and glute barre work, as well as an abs finale that invites all of those deep, strong exhales. I was cheering you all on during the Live and was able to get to this workout today. Thankful for this platform, these classes, this view of approaching health and movement, how it makes my body feel, and the connection to it all. Happy almost birthday, Marnie! Happy New Year sweet #mbodyglobalfam!

Warming, wiggly, no impact, lots of arms up with definite core activation throughout class. The no impact was great for healing from illness when bouncy cardio is not yet accessible.
