All standing, use of hand weights (two weight levels optional, beginning with lighter and then picking up slightly heavier, I did 3 lbs and then 5 lbs hand weights). Ankle weights optional, which I added. Even warmup does not involve optional jumps, so if you can vibrate/run in place with them on then they can be on from the very start. The cool-down stretches (standing of course) were still creating warmth and I could feel the heat from my skin. This felt mindfully connected, not too intense, but very intentional/attentional for me. 

Also this class: HBD Elizabeth!

But look at how much you DID do, Annie. ✨

Feels like a Stretch Flow partnered a Healing Hips for warming flowy goodness.

I never regret a M/BODY class. I wasn't "feeling it" getting to the mat, but my goodness this is always what I need. Playlist continues to hit the spot, and the class works the full body despite all standing except abs on the mat for the final 3 minutes. I love it here ♥️

This was marked as a Favorite, but I don't think I revisited with ankle weights before today. My inner and outer thighs and glutes will never be the same.... 

jennyg future us may love it or may have some choice words… I’m looking forward to f’ing around and finding out! 😉

I loved all of the punches and front and side kicks incorporated, and down on the mat the “ankles together” leg motions were a blend of Physical Therapy and muscle work. My quads felt like jello during the one leg standing work, so ending each side with the optional jump was wobbly. Ball is under feet/foot, held in our hands, in the crook of our hip and abdomen, and used down on the mat to support side work and behind our back. The final cardio flushes in class are enjoyable. Future me: maybe try some of the non-bouncy parts in class with light ankle weights and pick up light hand weights for the standing punches early on in class?

A few hours later I was keenly aware of my strengthened and stretched postural back muscles. Next morning: holy glutes!!

Class is great with gliders and a towel (or a fuzzy sock on slippery floor) - we are using one glider at a time with the other stable foot planted on the ground. I wasn't sweating in the very beginning and entertained a lot of complaining self-talk that has been with me most of the day, as I came to this class with an overwhelmed and frustrated mood. Then the sweat started, the burning of the muscles, and the negative commentary slowly shifted and eventually quieted. Gosh I love the power of a M/BODY class! I find towel dances and glider classes to be a serious challenge, so I am glad they keep occurring and it keeps inviting me.
