Bonus 20 Minute Strong By Zumba workout is a bonus workout included on the Strong by Zumba DVD.  Strong by Zumba is  High-Intensity Cardio & Tone workout that is set (choreograph) to the beat of the music.  The instructor is Ai Lee Syarief. The 20-Minute Demo is just a brief version of the 60-minute class. It includes its own warm up and cool down. The warm up was about 2 minutes and 15 seconds in length and the cool down is around 3 minutes. The 20-Minute Demo workout is chaptered. It also contains the Fired Up and Push Your Limits quadrants. Between the quadrants you get a recovery period. Each segments features two additional cast members but as the workout progresses, the cast members change in and out. There is NOT a modifier for the bonus workout. The moves are similar to the moves in the longer version of the workout.  I like the shorter version just a little bit better than the longer version.
