Hi Joey......I've been doing the links you sent on legs and butt....as well others from your 6 day program. You said to do legs 2-3 x a week.  How long should I work on the legs on a leg day.....around 45 mins to an hour? With arm and core exercises.....which I'll do 2-3 x week.....would you say about 15-20 mins on each? Also doing cardio around 30 mins.....doing my best to do 6 days. Would a long brisk walk for about an hour be considered a cardio? I know it is a cardio workout but wasn't sure if it was a fat burn type cardio. Thanks Linda

Hi Joey.....I was following the programs for a long time then when I wasn't seeing any shifts I stopped. I have been doing the exercises....but just not following them exact (ie: 6 day, 8 day). I suppose because I wasn't seeing any results I started to try other exercises. I am just really confused. I am an average size....would like to lose 7 pounds. I exercise. I eat great. Drink water. Look after myself. But I have this excess fat on my legs. I have never been overweight (aside from 10 pounds).....but my butt and legs (mainly inner thighs) sag...and at my knees. It's like I have all this excess fat and I have no clue why. So I suppose what I would like to know.....is there anything else I can do that is more 'leg specific'. Something that will help me actually see results. I am good with what I need to do with core and arms. It is the legs mainly and butt. I almost feel like I need to be doing something leg related daily. As well as cardio (which I actually do do cardio almost daily). I know nothing will be quick. But honestly to actually see something would be really helpful. It's like there is muscle under the fat layer....I can feel it.....I have super strong legs. But not sure how to get rid of the fat layer. I am almost considering joining a gym and using the weight machines to really build (slow burn).....and using slow burn cardio machines. Perhaps that might be a better suggestion for me???? Anyhow I know this is a big question but if you are able to guide me in any way it would be appreciated. Thanks Linda

Hi Joey.....I'm creating a new post as there are so many responses to my other posts......which I totally appreciate....that I think one got lost as I can't find it. Basically what I was wanting to know.....is if I am to do 6-7 days of cardio a week right now.......would a brisk hour long walk be considered a cardio day. I know walks are great for overall health......but in so far as the fat burning aspect in which other types of cardio offer......wondering what you think about the hour long brisk walk. Thanks

Hi Joey,
I've started doing NB and other videos through Total access. I love that I don't have to beat myself up working out anymore. I have the stats from my smart scale. I'm going to include them, although it's embarrassing, I'm 58 and it says I'm metabolically 65!
I'm doing 30 minutes of cardio 5x a week (Peleton) and doing your videos. Trying to clean up my diet too. How long should I give myself to get in shape and lose 25 lbs?

Hey Joey! I have a few questions about training here…
I have heard building muscles means you burn more calories even when resting and so you are able to eat more calories. Is this true?
I have also heard that strength training is very good in old age to strengthen bones and keep overall health and well being good.
So I am now thinking ahead and wondering whether I should be lifting weights also in some ways to achieve both those goals?
Or can you still achieve these things even just with body weight resistance. I perhaps don't realise how effective that is just by itself!
Thanks so much my friend! Jemima :)

Hi Joey,
I have created a rough workout plan here. Main aim is to get the best result for my lower body before my wedding at the beginning of June. This is my rough plan till then. I’ve actually change the arm day to another lower body session to really focus on that area. So it’s all lower body and one abs so I can get good results within the next 4 months. I’m on a time crunch!! Do you think this is the best schedule? Let me know if you would do any tweaks. I enjoy all the extra videos you’ve done on lower body as it keeps things interesting.

Calcium Supplement
Joey Atlas Gennusa, you may recall that I posted several months ago that I was diagnosed with osteoporosis, so I had to run out and get calcium and d3. I'm almost done with my calcium from Costco, can you recommend a better quality one, along with d3? I need 5000 iu of d3 and I think it's 500, 600 calcium. Thank you in advance.

Hey there. Excited to do this. I've worked my a** off most of my life and am still squishy, even after working every single day cleaning houses and businesses for 8 years. Well, it caught up to me as you probably would figure. Been a year now since my knee popped and that changed my life as I knew it. I'm so broke now, out of shape, and still with a bad knee. But I'm done wallowing in what I can't do and want to focus on what I can do. I paid for the exercises and a nutrition book, but I don't seem to have access to anything except the first set exercises. Anybody know what's up with that? I need the nutrition part. Money now a days is extremely harder for me to come up with, so I'd like to have access to it please.
Thanks!

Hey Joey - I hope you had a great Holiday Season! I got a notification about a live event at 11:00 today through the app. Unfortunately we had plans to meet the family at church for the traditional Pennsylvania pork and sauerkraut meal at 11:00 so I missed it. I don’t remember reading anything about a live event in the emails recently - what did I miss?

It’s saying I don’t have access to videos but I’m an active member. Can someone help me figure out what’s going on. Thanks
