This is a good short video that focuses on bun work. You need a chair or something similar for balance and to lean on. This is very similar to Firm floor work, but you do it standing up. There is a very short warm up, a set of leg twists, where you put your foot up to your knee and then rotate your knee out (hope this makes sense) a set of push to the backs with your heel and then side kicks, and then you do a combo of these moves. The next short section, you bend your leg up behind you and then do lifts, and pulses. This is similar to some of the floor work on the firm, and can be quite effective. Then with your knee bent and your buttock engaged by lifting you rotate your leg, this is killer. You then lean on the chair, sort of push up style, and do some rear leg lifts and heal to the ceiling lifts and pulses. And finally sets of squats.

This is a short workout that I use to supplement my schedule. Since I'm not a morning person, I try to do this short tape a couple of mornings a week to get my metabolism moving. I don't believe in spot toning, but doing some work for those big muscles helps rev me up. I've also used this to help me get moving when I'm very lethargic and don't want to work out. I start out with 10 minute buns and when I'm done I feel I have enough energy to move into my normal workout. This might also be used as a substitute for floor work for people who hate being on the floor, same type of moves but standing.

This is an intermediate tape that can be made harder by using ankle weights. Although I do Cathe and the Firm, if I really concentrate, I can feel this work with or without weights.

This is a Crunch Video with the usual "girls" as background exercisers. Although I don't think there is a single comment regarding your favorite outfit or miniskirts, thankfully.

Instructor Comments:
Good instructor, good cueing. There is a little bit of perkiness factor here, but not too bad. Typical crunch babble about how you'll have "great buns". At the end she even says 'kay guys, which I actually find kind of cute.
