Thanks Lori! Yes, the Booty workout surprised me! It was more challenging than I thought it would be!
Rhonda, lol she's like Tony...good in small doses although I find her less annoying than him most of the time.
I think you'll like this workout series!
Thanks Joni, I was going to continue on that thread but it was pretty long so I started this one, hope everyone doesn't mind!
horusosiris, yes Booty is much more enjoyable than some of the other workouts like Cardio Flow.

Finisher: Complete all core exercises once though for (10) reps each.
I wouldn't consider this an intense cardio workout (maybe it gets harder in Phase 2 and 3). The hardest part for me were the core moves on the sliders. I had to do the modifier move in the side planks. This is my weak area that needs the most improvement. I'm hoping by the end my core will be a lot stronger!
Oh, there is a modifier in all the workouts. She does a great job of modifying either the impact, range of motion, or uses a lighter weight.
