Before starting the workout, Carrie began with a five-minute warmup that included “high knees, good mornings, and squats.” Once the warm-up is finished, Carrie does a 30-minute bodyweight workout followed by a 10-minute “finisher.”

Even though Carrie is in amazing shape, she admitted she still gets sore, saying, “If we work hamstrings especially, I feel like that’s the one I notice the most if we do too much.” She even said that being sore “makes her entire night miserable.”

Eve revealed that just because you’re sore doesn’t mean it’s a good thing. “Being sore after a workout does not necessarily indicate a good workout,” she said. Sometimes it means that you went too hard during your workout and that you should pace yourself. Eve said, “Small steps. Small steps to get to your goal.”

Carrie’s intense 10-minute finisher includes four circuits and to do the finisher, follow these steps: “Do the unilateral (aka one-sided) exercises in Circuit 1 for the suggested time, then repeat the entire circuit on the opposite side. Do the exercises in the following three circuits for the suggested time. Between each circuit, take a 30-second rest.”
