Booty Slide- A ridiculous name for a really hard workout

Flywheel a little while ago added a summer special class called Booty Slide - at the time, I looked at the website but just couldn't really picture what the workout would entail. According to their profile:

" Booty Slide's® was developed by Celebrity Trainer and Lifestyle/Fitness Consultant Rebecca Kordecki.

Booty Slide's® revolutionary concept and intense core/cardio approach to body shaping penetrates problem areas such as hips, buns and thighs in under 40 minutes.

Many people have referred to it as "Lotte Berk meets Radu". In just 45 minutes you will work all muscle group while doing so at a pace that will leave you sweating. Wearing Rebecca's patented "booties" you will slide and lunge through movements that engage the core as well as multiple areas of the body. "

I just thought it sounded... like a lot of talk for something that wouldn't REALLY be that hard. I figure what with all my boot camps and workouts it would be fun but not that hard class. My plan was to go to Lulemon's free class this morning and then head to the gym to finish off my workout. It was my fun goofy thing to do today. 

I walked into Lululemon this morning and was greeted by a woman who was not only ridiculously fit but also a dead ringer for Gina Gershawn. She handed me my little booties and what look liked a purple silk scarf and a I thought, oh god this is going to be stupid. I didn't run away although I definately rolled my eyes.

So I slipped on the little booties and waited to start. Sliding lunges are hard. Sliding curtsy -type lunges are crazy. Behind me I could hear others start to mutter and say "oh hell no" as she described one move after the other... 10 minutes in I was dripping with sweat. At 30 I was shaking.  By 45, I was completely spent and wondering if I could make it home.

I should have known that Ruth from Flywheel wouldn't have associated with it if it wasn't a damn good workout out. I would hands down do it again....

I am really grateful that they are "rebranding this week" and going with the name "Kor+" since really I can't bare to admit to having a class called "Booty Slide" kick my ass so badly!
