Hi Alyssa, great questions! I cannot remember the exact number, but I think I burned 120 calories in one rep. It is a massive workout! I do this workout whenever I want to kick-up the calorie burn or am bored of the usual routine. Thanks for the questions!

Hi Alex, I got our bands from Amazon. They were about $15 and came in a set of five. Should be available at any fitness store too though :) if you search for "resistance bands" a few different options will come up.

Hey Waverly, the entire rep takes 10 minutes. Then, you decide how many sets to do. Just take a 2 minute walking break between to lower your hr :)

Yea, the balancing and core work are what really kick the calorie burn up for this exercise. This will def help in the journey towards washboard abs.

Wow, you really stacked those core moves. I'm not even doing this and I feel the burn.
