Movie Reviews of Barefoot Cardio
Movie Review: Harder than it Sounds!
Summary: 5 Stars
Barefoot Cardio, how hard could it be? For me, it was harder than I thought....the name made it sound easier. Barefoot - Beach =) If Ellen isn't doing a movement that includes arms, you arms are held out parallel to floor - gravity wasn't my friend during this workout! There are modifications to make it a bit easier. Once my HR got up, it stayed at a fairly high steady level. You will see Happy Feet and Pony often, I will abbreviate to HF/Pony. Here's the Chapter Breakdown:

I highly recommend this workout! The choreography isn't complex and being barefoot really works your balance. This is easy on the knees. Happy Feet/Pony did start to get old after a while - that's my only complaint. It had its intense moments - I consider myself intermediate-advanced/beginner-advanced level exerciser. Barefoot Cardio is great for all levels!
