While “Butts & Guts” definitely IS a challenging workout, we were actually pleasantly surprised to discover that Cathe actually doesn’t necessarily heavy up on her weights here–in fact, many of the exercises are done without weights at all, and you will likely get both aerobic and strength training benefits from this workout. Cathe does use quite a bit of equipment in this DVD, including dumbbells, a barbell, a high step, a resistance band, and ankle weights.

The main workout of Butts & Guts consists of a Warm Up (6 minutes), Standing Glute Work (31 minutes), Floor Work (19.5 minutes), Abs (14 minutes), and Stretch. There are also two Bonus segments, Bonus Stability Ball Abs (15 minutes) and Bonus Lower Body (6 minutes). Because the Warm-Up uses the stability ball, I
