Happy 5th Marniversary, Lauren!! 🎉💪🩰🩵

I love this and your sweet family looking at you with wonder and admiration! 💕

Favorited! The comments before me are right on: this class was dynamic, featured changes to the “usual” Signature flow but still had the familiar outline to follow (I am loving the blend of new and old!). It had me sweaty and breathless with a quick pace, which surprised me as it was not OVERLY bouncy or jumpy. The arms over head for core work on the floor was unique and challenging, bringing the right level of discomfort to draw my attention but not feel impossible or painful. Totally full-body workout I felt for the next two days. ❤️

Roughly 25 minute all standing beautiful barre class with choreography centered around wide second position and tons of leg movements to work our hips, our lower backs, and our legs. Slightly different and brief warm-up start to class. We are moving up and down, as in touching a hand down and popping back up, and optional graze of knee/shin down with movements in class. The flow is moving with purpose and the warmth is real with anaerobic movement. Brief moments in releve, but not a main focus in this barre sweat flow class. As always I appreciate Marnie's words, thank you!

Revisited this from my “Favorite” list and found balancing on the ball slightly easier today (every day is different!). Class went by quickly; keeps the pace but it is warmly low impact and intentional in pace. Only a very brief time in wide second (Lindsey J !)

Optional ankle weights (Marnie has hers on before warmup begins) and we pick up hand weights quickly, incorporating them throughout most of class. Class flows from standing w/ lots of one-leg work and balance checks, standing in relevé on the ball, then down to the ground for table-top position with cross-body engagement & movements and side plank awesomeness, then ends laying on our backs, using the ball for some leg movements to fire the core muscles and a very brief bridge. This is definitely a “glutey” class! But I felt it full body, including all sorts of core muscles in my sides and back. It was slow motion sculpting, compound movements of arms and legs to keep my brain present, and super wiggly. When I do it again I’ll continue focusing on keeping my hips centered and even; the movement of wrapping one leg back and then in front of us in a 1/2 circle around our bodies was such a challenge to keep my hips aligned!

Just like the comments before me, I echo how fun and lighten-ing this no-equipment, standing cardio dance class is! Perfect for joyous celebrations and perfect for when you need to shake and roll some BS off. I feel lighter after this sleepover party dance class. I have been craving an XXX class, and the Beyonce portion delivered. (Okay as I type my class comment I'm listening to the end chat and Marnie just said someone requested a spicy XXX class so thank you Live crew!) I appreciate the slow presentation of some of the choreography so I can keep up, but nothing was too frustrating or intense but did involve some brain engagement for me. We drop it low in wide second, but we are not on the floor until the end of the closing stretch. Have some space side to side and some room for kicks (leg flicks) and space above you for arms overhead.

Loved revisiting this for some slow, balletic flow that warms and challenges with gentle strength.

Signature class in the sequence of choreography sets with a classic M/BODY playlist. So much core activation with moments of feeling my arms and shoulders, my legs and glutes. We get our heart rate up with the cardio dance, optional jumps, and wonderful opportunities for punches. Arm series with weights followed by standing mat work and barre work using just our bodies and our stable surface. We bring it down to the floor after the barre, facing the floor for rolling pushups and Proud Mary plays (automatically activating the internal alarm that this shit is going to get real so let’s go!), and we roll into high knees (variations of mountain climbers which blended some downward dog and holds). We turn over on the mat to face the ceiling and move our legs and incorporate some crunches. Then we add the movement ball for the floor work before ending in glute bridge dancing (at times with one leg up). 400 Live classes! 400 real time connections and shared energy, which still transcends in the playbacks of the class videos. Thank you for all of this!!! ❤️
