Powerful, paced, mindful, strong. We use two hand weights and are invited to hold both in one hand (if you work between a few hand weights maybe have all your options close by). The ankle weights also add some oomph! All standing, sculpting, low to no impact (you can jump in the warmup or just shake it out and make it all pulses and zero impact). This class brings the shoulder work, complete arm work, leg, and booty work. Bless Marnie for her form guidance and reminders; squaring of hips, neutral spine or sticking booty out intentionally, all of those details explained help me keep that meditative focus. My booty was burning a bit, perhaps from last Live class (/525) but probably all of the above. Aaand playlist was awesome (more indie vibes overall in the song selection and some global artists included). Looking forward to revisiting again and again! 

HBD class to Marnie’s one year old pup Rye, and to our #mbodyglobalfam babes Stephanie F and Molly P!

The booty burn is so real, and can be increased with those optional ankle weights and the simple but powerful effort of dropping lower (from those hips and not your chest or head). Holy smokes across all the muscle groups of the glutes. The flow and pace were wonderful for this deep, intentional work and choreography combos. Marnie’s words guide form for ultimate glutey access and protection of your knees and alignment in general. Looking forward to revisiting this one, and fully anticipate my beautiful bum will be sassing me tomorrow with every stair step and functional squat motion in my daily life.

Beautiful messages about being here in the present and able to move and shake through the tough stuff around us. This class gives you what you need in a short timeframe, no equipment, all standing from warmup to cool down (goddess posture and leg stretches but elevated from the floor). Elongating stretches, built in burn, and cardio activation that can be amplified with active arms. My right knee has been a little sensitive, but it handled the bounces, jump options, and choreography without issue or discomfort. Favoriting this powerful quick class and love the “Step Into Your Power” song (I def went to Marnie Alton’s Spotify class playlist after to hear it again).

Ohhh SO good after sitting for a while or for releasing and stretching emotionally and physically. Great for following some worked muscles from class + snowy outdoor adventures causing some muscle soreness.

Whew, this is such a powerful class! Loved revisiting it for the current Challenge- super warming on a snowy winter day.

To quote Marnie from this class: “Slow. Squeeze the inner thighs. Hold. Simple. Elegant. Graceful. Badass.”

Hell yeah!
