Let's go back to step touches right here, step touch. Good job, you guys, you did a great workout. A lot of cardio there, working your whole body. Get that nice sweat going. 20 minutes goes a long way, just bring the heart rate down.

Just tap it out. Good, now bring it just to a heel dig, heel dig. Get that heart rate down. Beautiful. Cardio is really important for the heart, also to burn excess energy, burn those calories.

Four more, four, three, two, and one. Just back to bend and extend. Bend and extend here. All right, guys, hold it here. Just lift up over your head, and then come back and see if you can grab hold of your foot so you can balance.

Go right then left with the hips. Press back, put the hands back, drop the head. Slowly roll all the way up. Bring the legs together. Awesome job, guys.

Awesome work, keep it up, I know it's tough. I always say to my clients it's tough at the top. Tough means that you are actually working out and trying. You're trying, so it is tough at the top and that's where changes happen, when we push ourselves out of our comfort zone. I push myself out of my comfort zone nearly everyday.

Don't be scared. That's when changes happen. All right, guys, keep up the awesome work. (tongue lightly clicks) High five. (softly mimics clicking) Bye, guys.

Really fun! I would have liked more no-impact moves as I have to care of one foot. Jumping is not that good for me. Thank you! I really loved the curtsy-side lunge and dégagé of the leg sideway!
