Happy #CircusSaturday !! In this video, teacher, performer and long-time student at MDG Lillian Borger explains and demonstrates her all-time favorite, fast full-body warm-up exercise! This exercise is great because it warms up the abs, arms and legs and gets your heart rate up, which helps get you warmed up faster! There are four parts to the exercise: straight jump, V snap, tuck jump and push-up. To make it harder, you can add more V snaps or push-ups in each repetition o...r do more repetitions of the exercise. To make it easier, you can do a tuck-in instead of a V snap and you can go on your knees for the push-up or do it with your hands on an elevated surface. Feel free to save this video to refer to it later and let us know if you give it a try! We hope you enjoy! #WarmUp #FullBodyExercise #StrongIsBeautiful #Tutorial #TryItAtHome #ExerciseTutorial #CirqueDuInsta #CirqueGram #CirqFit #CircusInternational #CircusLife #CircusEveryDay

Happy earth day! This is your yearly reminder to take good care of the environment and our beautiful planet Not just today, but every day. Here are some things you can implement in your life that can help: - Stop using single-use plastics (straws, bags, cutlery, water bottles, etc.) + find reusable alternatives for each of them.... - Recycle as much as possible. - Reduce your waste. That can be by composting, saving water and wasting less food, among others. In Canada, we waste about 40% of all the food we produce. Yikes! - Avoid taking cars or carpool when possible. Walking, biking and taking the bus can be great alternatives! - Go vegan! "Try eliminating the amount of meat, fish or dairy you eat each day. Doing this will help to cut greenhouse gas emissions and reduce energy consumption. According to an Independent article, you could reduce your "carbon footprint from food by up to 73 percent" just by incorporating a vegan diet!" (From an article on Fastweb.com) - Do your research! There's lots of great information out there. What's you favorite thing about our beautiful planet earth?

Hey hey! Happy circus Saturday! It's challenge time! Here's a little back story for you: Many years ago, Monica's daughter Maia started doing Happy Handstands when they travelled, in nature and even in the hallway at school. One of her first Happy Handstands was at the Trevi Fountain in Rome. The looks she got from onlookers were pretty interesting. They soon realized; handstands are fun to do anywhere there is a flat surface not only when we travel ... Show us your Happy Handstand! Free standing, against the wall, with someone holding you up, holding it for a while or even if you are just learning share your happiest handstand! Be smart and safe about where you decide to do your handstand. Take a photo and send your best pic to [email protected] or message us on our Facebook or Instagram pages. On December 30th we will choose the best Happy Handstand photos. Prizes will be awarded! Be part of the MDG Happy Handstand celebration! *this picture is from the World Gymnaestrada in July 2019* #circussaturday #circuschallenge #happyhandstands #grouphandstand #handstandeverywhere #handstandeveryday #handstandeverydamnday #monicasdanzgym #dreambelieveachieve #worldgymnaestrada2019 #handstandsoutside #circusaroundtheworld #circuseveryday #circuseverydamnday #circusarts #cirqueduinsta #cirquegram #circustalk #backstagecirque #cirqfit #circusinternational #circuslife #cirquelife #winnipegcircus
