Instructor Lisa Wheeler presents intermediate moves alongside helpers who offer beginner and advanced variations in this no-nonsense program that features mix-and-match bite-sized 10-minute segments. “Belly” includes roll ups, starfish, and other slow, controlled contractions; “Butt” serves ups lunges, arm swings, and curtsies; “Thighs” incorporates heel dig, hamstring curls, and a “lunge matrix” squat and lift combo; and “Core” applies moves to make you “tight like a corset.” Also including “Upper Body” and “Lower Body” combos, the program employs weights at times and features lots of matwork. The motivational Wheeler advises viewers to “keep it up, and you'll get the results you're looking for” in this high-energy, well-focused, and easy-to-follow program. Highly recommended.
