Commented on Day 1/60!

My goals: 1) Complete at least 45 workouts and all 60 Wellness Activities in this 60-Day Challenge. 2) Shift away from bracing myself and more into flexibility rolling with these next few months, leaning and learning and not fighting the current. New and intimidating things are ahead, but I want to be fully present as I work through them and feel stronger on the other side. Can’t wait to meet that version of me a year from now. 3) Practice more letting go of the hurt, fear, unfairness, resentment, guilt and practice detachment from the parts of my life that are changing with as much love and gratitude as I can. It’s not denying the “negative” sides, but rather not getting stuck in that default mode. Feel it and work through it rather than carry it with me. ❤️

Do you need a quick wake-up workout? Try this one! I was desktop crew for the Live, but had the opportunity to do this class the following day. Short class, strong legs and strong heart. Oh my thighs! Great postural reminders too. "You have the right to grow, and you don't have to apologize for it." Ohh Marnie's words of her own, and the readings she selects to share, resonate.

❤️❤️❤️ I’m definitely hopping on before class! Probably will log off for the actual class, but LOVE the idea of seeing you and others before hand- thank you for setting this up!
Hi Arlynne! I don’t know how to “invite” you on FB and send the link (I tried). It’s a private group so you’ll answer 2-3 questions and then the admin will accept your joining request. I hope this helps you find it directly- can you type in Facebook search this exact wording: M/BODY Global Fam
Anniversaries can pull up lots of stuff. Yet you’re describing that the decision to make a change has been powerful for you; healthy, happy, and an opportunity. How cool you’re still “in the field” of your choosing and your longstanding passion! Letting go creates space for letting in. So glad you’re here and you are navigating ways to stay true to yourself. This Challenge sounds like it will compliment the growth and work you’re already doing so beautifully Megan ❤️
*Shania Twain voice* “let’s go girls!” I’m excited!!

Another slightly slower pace for a more intentional movement and inner heat. Medium impact with lower options. Uses all equipment. The curtsy lunge pulses and the choreo moving from the barre to the floor was awesome. The abs/core series with legs out in a wide-V and legs straight up was incredibly challenging for me today; grateful for all of Marnie's words to help combat that inner dialogue of frustration.

Exploring some older classes and this one was recommended by a fellow #mbodyglobalfam. Class starts around minute 4:06 and while it had some jumpy options for the cardio dance and a few modification options throughout, it felt fairly low impact but still builds the heat with a slightly slower pace. Majority of class was standing, brief barre work, and some floor work to round it out for glutes/hips/core and thighs. Great comments from Marnie about form and positioning as we move a bit slower, more intentional in this class.
