IMPORTANT: This challenge is for 7 days only. Following the 7 days, feel free to use any of the workouts but keep in mind each major muscle group should be worked out 1 to 2 times weekly, and no more, with at least 3 days rest in between.

What is the butt thrasher?
It's actually the Butt Blaster (typo), you can see the demo in the 3rd video down and 4th exercise.
I did day one today and it only made my legs hurt. Am i doing it wrong? The butt burner made the tops of my legs burn . not my butt
I love this. I have been doing this all week!
YEAH!!!! We're doing it too. Ouch!!!
This has been great! What advice do you have for following weeks? Can I do it several weeks in a row?
The 7 day challenges are for 7 days only. Afterwards, you can choose your favorite routines(exercises) from the challenge and incorporate them into regular workouts…1-2 days a week!

I have a question about the circuit training on Tuesday and Saturday – you say it's 6 x 40 seconds = 4 minutes, but it's actually 8 x 40 seconds because you do the step ups and the leg extensions for 30 seconds on each leg, making it 5 minutes. Unless I'm doing it wrong?! @skinnyms:disqus
)
Sarah, Thanks for pointing
that out. I changed it to 15 seconds for each leg.
Thanks for including Skinny Ms. Fitness, Slap Dash Mom. ♥

Love, love, love your website. Thanks so much for having the videos to show correct form for the exercises and all the motivation. I have no more excuses.
Kstiljusbo, That's right…NO MORE EXCUSES!
I am on day #6 and have lost an inch in my butt! I am excited to try your other challenges!!!!
GREAT! That's so cool. Keep us posted we loving hearing about results.
I can not find an example of the heel clappers or the butt blaster, I want to do the workout but need help on what the exercises are.
Lburkey404,
The demonstrations are in the 3rd video down.
Hey I'm going to take this challenge! But one question what are but burns like which video? Thanks
Those 2 exercises are included on the Circuit Training video above…
She doesn't say it, but the first exersice she does on that video is the butt blaster.
Is it OK to take a few minute breaks in between? I have bad knees and a horrible back, so they can only handle so many up and down movements.
Allison, Most definitely…take a few minutes rest in between!
The videos for the circuit training and butt burns are gone! What are the leg extensions and heel clappers?
It might be a stupid question but I'm a little confused. What exactly are the stiff legged deadliest and the leg extensions?
Jackie, You will find both these in the video labeled Circuit Training Monday & Saturday.
Loving this! Going to start tomorrow. Question though, are heel clappers just standing on your toes and literally clapping your heels (wizard of oz style)? Thanks!
Bridgett, There's a demo in the video labeled Circuit Training Monday & Saturday. It's just laying face down and bringing your legs in and out while touching your heels each time.

This was such a great workout! I just finished the last one and I really saw results…I have less cellulite and my legs/butt are more toned! Definitely going to try some of your other workouts
Erin, YEAH!!! I agree, it's a really effective workout. Be sure to continue working the glutes 1 to 2 x's weekly. You can choose some of the exercises and mix them up. Thanks for your feedback.
I did day one today The sunday workout , I feel like it only worked my leg muscles, am I doing it wrong? The Butt burners didn’t make my butt burn just the top of my legs.
I just finished Day 2 of this workout, and I am FEELING it! Woah!
I just finished Day 2 of this workout, and I am FEELING it! Woah! I am going to be so sore tomorrow.
for the Glute Video on Tues and Fri it says (90 Bridges; 40 forward lunges each leg; 40 leg extensions each leg…leg weights optional) however if you follow the video it has you do only 30 fwd lunges and it shows hip extensions not leg extensions. am I suppose to follow the video or just use is at a guild?
Kal, Thanks so much for pointing that out. I’ve made the correction. See below:
Glute video (follow video) (3 sets of 30 Bridges; 2 sets of 15 forward lunges each leg; hip extensions 2 sets of 20 each leg…(leg weights optional)

Qua, This challenge definitely works the legs as well. I’m currently working on a Summer Legs Challenge that will be out soon. Stay tuned!
great! thanks a lot
Hiiiii, I am loving all of your challenges! The example videos are such a huge help, but most importantly everything is nicely organized and easy to follow..a definite plus! I have a question that I haven't been able to get a clear answer on, so I'm hoping you have some input! Im a small girl, 5'2, but I am pretty top heavy, I only weigh about 115… I love exercising, but I can't really run or do a lot of "bouncy" type workouts because I lose weight the fastest in my chest…any suggestions on workouts…or should I be working on strengthening my pectoral muscles? Thanks!
Eva, Yes, Chest exercises with weights would be good. Try this workout http://skinnyms.com/the-best-breast-workout-ever/
Started today! Will keep you posted, tryin to be Summertime Hott, Wintertime Cold MiamiTime Fine!
Keisha, YEAH!!! You’ve to check out the –just posted– Summer Legs Challenge!!
Found this through Pinterest and will begin this program! (Please, oh please, let this work!!!)
What are heel clappers?
Sam, You’ll need to watch the video. Lay on your stomach, raise your head and chest off the floor, now move your legs in and out, touching your heels each time.
This workout is awesome! My but is super sore and i love it!! Thank you!
It hurts so good! lol
