Powerful 60 Signature class with (personal) brain engagement throughout especially the cardio dance moves (want to add a lasso hand motion? Giddyup) and the leg/glutey choreography going from table top down on the mat to a LOW rise with a working leg (you’ll understand when you’re there). The Movement Ball is a VIP in the last 1/4 or so of class with some super fun and new ankle/foot twist work with it! We use the ball all over (behind our lower back, in between ankles, squeezed between our knees, held in our hands with outstretched and working arms). The country playlist is fun, but if you’re not into that genre of music please still try this class for the choreography Marnie masterfully put together.

A few days ago I was on a 40th Birthday trip in Puerto Rico enjoying the GORGEOUS beaches and mountain hiking when a fellow #mbodyglobalfam member recognized a waterfall from one of my pictures and we realized we were *randomly* just minutes away from each other despite being hundreds of miles from our current homes! I was able to connect with this beautiful soul and her wonderful family (and lovely friends because when she’s back home everyone understandably wants to see her!).

Lizamary, thank you for making time for me to see you while we were both in paradise. Your light always radiates from the inside out. I love that this was our fourth time IRL (previously twice in New York City and once in Washington, DC). These in-person moments with M/BODY friends are so connecting, grounding, and fill my cup. ✨💫✨

For anyone new, Lizamary has been part of the online platform since the beginning and I always viewed her as the loving but protective godmother of the M/BODY crew. She is such a Badass Ballerina!

PS: Puerto Rico is an incredible destination (and would make the perfect tropical M/BODY retreat just saaaaaying)

I wanted a quick abdominal work this morning, and this felt so good in shoulders and core - one heck of a challenge still, but wonderful to have the ball and be on it and challenge myself off of it with those gorgeous side plank moves. We can do hard things!

Sooo good after sitting for a while or holding onto some tension (physically/emotionally). Quick, gentle, floor work that did not bring a sweat but brought the lovely release.

Replied on M/<20 PLANKS + PUSHUPS 300TH CELEBRATION /300

I asked my child to pick a # to help me choose a class... he chose 300, and this remains a short but challenging class to me every time! So I'm glad it was the chosen one to remind me it's okay to struggle no matter how long I've been doing classes.

Baddie of a power sculpt class. Marnie rocks 15 lb hand weights and I used what was doable for me: 10 lbs. I was both struggling through and loving the combos we worked up to that brought us in a side plank dance and the push up combo. The last few reps I needed to not balance on my weights and just flat palm my mat for my wrists/hands. We start standing and bring some combos down to the mat and up again. Some pulses but zero jumps and intentional pace. I feel STRONG after this one!
