I feel that Better Buns is a wonderful 45 minute tape. The first time I did this workout, I made it through and didn't really break a sweat. BUT after doing this tape 5 more times, I can honestly say that it's a killer and a keeper!

The hover squats and side lunges burned my legs. Then right after that Taber comes in with leg presses! Then Jen Carman does plyos and heavy upper body. But WAIT-it doesn't stop-she goes right into leg press on the other side. Everytime I do this section I'm thinking, "If I can just make it through this ,I can finish the tape."

Jen Carman's section on lunges and dips is tough as well. I'm glad they do one lunge and then a dip to the back. This helped me stabilize before going to another lunge & dip!

Finally-Jen's pushups (18??? of them) were all done BIG BOY style! I think the only time I've seen this from a REAL Firm instructor was Susan Harris on Vol. 1 & 4!!! This says alot to me!

The floorwork was led by Jennifer Peluso. I still haven't figured out how to make me "feel" her exercises. I've tried leg weights and it still doesn't seem to work.

All in all, I think that Jen Carman carried this workout. I really think that the Firm needs to look at the potential that they have with her. She's healthy, she's strong and she shines!

Instructor Grades: Jennifer Peluso-B, Taber Bruner-B+, Jen Carman-A+

Instructor Comments:
I enjoyed the variety of the three instructors. Taber and Jen Carman worked very well together on their sections-they just seemed to "flow" together. I must say that the ab section was tougher than I first thought. My abs were sore the next day!
