I unsubscribed for a while because my puppy was attacking me every time I would exercise so I resigned myself to a sedentary lifestyle but I think soon it will be time to get back on the horse. She offers Pilates, barr, yoga, standing counter workouts, pre/peri/postnatal workouts and dance workouts from herself and several other instructors. There are a lot of videos that use resistance bands, Pilates balls, Pilates circles and ankle/wrist weights too. Try the linked video to get a feel for her style!! Before I signed up for her membership I would just do her free videos on YouTube! I should do this workout right now honestly… 🤧 (edit I did it and it’s crazy how different I feel) I love her because she doesn’t talk about the visual results her workouts will help you achieve but about how good it feels to exercise for your mental and physical health!!! She offers meditations too!
I would also recommend 30-day yoga challenges from Yoga with Adriene or Travis Eliot both will really whip you into shape and help you build foundational strength.
I recommend Ballet Beautiful with Mary Helen Bowers if you hate yourself and want a cold waspish ballerina to punish you humble you and nearly kill you. It’s extremely challenging but rewarding.

I know I’ve recommended her free YouTube workouts before but if I’ve recommended the app/membership I simply must repeat myself. I let my subscription lapse and was thinking about signing back up but today they offered me one month for $1 so I simply had to do it!! (They do also offer a one-week free trial for new members).
I’ve been doing at-home exercise for almost ten years and MWH is my favorite. I love Melissa’s calm instructional style and her workouts are super engaging but also there’s so much variety from different teachers (Pilates, barre, yoga, dance, body weight, cardio—even pre and post natal if that’s something you need) that I can always find something to suit my mood. And there are meditations too!
It makes it easier for me to hold myself accountable to my self-care habits to have exercise and mindfulness routines all in one place. today to ease myself back in I did her 17-minute barre for lower body video, the dancer stretch and recovery, and a legs up the wall meditation and I feel amazinggg 🥰

🧘My everything, found her online yoga/pilates classes in the pandemic and it seriously changed my life. I love to move my body but get overwhelmed at gyms and she’s all about taking a minute for yourself rather than losing weight or whatever and going sicko mode. Usually do a class a day and usually in my pjs tbh :$

It lends a reflective and wistful tone to written communications imo…

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
