Echoing Kelsey and Nicole: whew the glute work- so good! The class moves quickly for 60 minutes.

Ahhhh!! Trying to make this happen- 8/26 is more realistic for me

Enjoyed the re-visit! Forgot that we use weights so much of class (love!), only use the M/ovement ball as a modification (which I used today with a sore back), and appreciated the feedback of my 6 year old asking me “do you feel strong? Because you look strong. You’ve always been strong” during the standing weight series. It was the mat choreo with weights where I was really feeling strong and I love that for myself and to model for him.

All standing (except last few minutes of final stretches), no equipment class- all dance and bounce. You just need enough space for arms out and up and some space side to side for your legs and a few front kicks. The dances kept up the heart rate and had some modern dance flair mixed into some classic M/BODY cardio dance moves. However the flow of the class was a nice shakeup with not the usual sequence during warmup and cool down. This is great for a change to standard classes, for travel, shaking shit off, and waking up and raising your energy levels.

*glutes, not flutes. 🙄 I don’t recall Lizzo in the playlist although it was a good one.

This class begins standing with some change-ups to the warm up, does not neglect arms, legs, and flutes despite the core focus, and brings some wild wiggles with the ball on the floor. Some options I tried brought the Cuss Angel out with some laughter. There is a slower, lingering stretch to end class. Great playlist too!

Returning to this class and I love the change-up to the warmup and to the end of class stretches which uniquely continue to use the ball. The choreography continues to tickle my brain, so approaching it with focus, curiosity, and playfulness is less frustrating. The challenges of the floor work with the ball felt so good!

So true Rachel! My mom joined me in 2022 for my birthday class and she continues to be grateful I’m anchored into M/BODY. Here for the health, staying for the support and connection. 💝

Ohhh this was a challenge and one I’ll return to in an effort to stay up for longer counts before dropping down. At least I got back up each time. The energy of the community in #mbodyglobalfam helps- stay to the end after stretches to honor the 300th Live! And as Marnie says in this class: “Uncomfortable doesn’t mean I can’t. You get used to being uncomfortable when it builds strength and connection; when it gets us out of numb.” Currently my arms and shoulders are in the afterlife but I trust I’ll feel them again soon.

Hereby known as the Family Class- this is the perfect one to do with your family especially traveling! The energy is palpable, the choreography combinations are so incredibly FUN, challenging, but invitational. It was quick, strong, and ready for you to “climb mountains” with your loved ones. I will be returning to this upbeat class to keep working on this choreography ❤️
