Hi Joey......I have been doing the 6 day and really not seeing any difference. Been doing a few months now. With the legs I am doing the 3 x week and almost daily cardio. I am eating great and weight I would say is pretty normal. Not sure what to do. My second question....I was just watching this video and the person was saying if you can't actually feel the muscle when you are doing a workout that the actual muscle might not be firing up. So I tried it and noticed that I am not always feeling the muscle underneath the fat. So should I be adjusting my leg/arm so that when I do the movement I feel the muscle so I know it is firing up. Lastly.....I know you mention isometrics a few times......so are your movements more isometric type of movements. Any guidance you can give me would be helpful. Thanks Linda

Hi Joey.....I actaully found the PDF from years ago for the level 2. There are certain videos that I watch direct on line....but some where I have a PDF I prefer to watch tv (not watch the exercises on TV but actually watch TV).

Hi Joey.....1) I am doing the 6 day program right now. On the leg days, mainly the first one, I sometimes split this up as doing the leg exercises for about an hour then the cardio....I don't always have the time. So I often do 1/2 legs of the program and cardio on one day and then the next day do the remaining and a cardio. Is this ok? I'm sure it is ok but would this slow down things? 2) with the cardio.....because I had hurt my wrist last month I really need to be mindful of the exercises in your cardio as the Joeys put pressure on the wrist and holding weights to do the movements I am being mindful (as well it often hurts my shoulder). So when I am not able to do yours I am doing body weight cardio (this pilates woman online) and I do sweat and I do feel it in my legs. But there is no use of my arms. So my question.......because it is body weight.....will this be ok? As you said that the trampline, although I job on it, and the rower, are not the best at this time. 3) With the dietary program......as really do pretty much follow everything that you outlined.....the only thing I am struggling with is the intermedient fasting part. Would 14 hours be enough. If I am done eating by 7pm. And don't eat breakfast until 9am. Which isn't much different than what I have always done anyways. So really just trying to figure out if longer hours makes that much of a difference
Thanks Linda

Hi Joey.....I thought I would keep to two seperate emails. 1) I am doing the 6 day program right now. On the leg days, mainly the first one, I sometimes split this up as doing the leg exercises for about an hour then the cardio....I don't always have the time. So I'll do 1/2 legs program and cardio then the next day do the remaining and a cardio. Is this ok? 2) with the cardio.....I am being good with doing the cardio.....and you had said daily so I really am trying to stick with this.....and doing body weight cardio not the trampoline or rower type thing. Because I had hurt my wrist last month I really need to be mindful of the exercises in your cardio as the Joeys put pressure on the wrist and holding weights to do the movements I am being mindful. So when I am not able to do yours I am doing body weight cardio (this pilates woman online) and I do sweat and I do feel it in my legs. But there is no use of my arms. So my question.......because it is body weight.....will this be ok? 3) With the dietary program......as really do pretty much follow everything that you outlined.....the only thing I am struggling with is the intermedient fasting part. Would 14 hours be enough. If I am done eating by 7pm. And don't eat breakfast until 9am. Which isn't much different than what I have always done anyways. So really just trying to figure out if longer hours makes that much of a difference. 4) I think (?) at some point I saw a video of yours taking about a fascia buster for celulite and not to use it. I just recently was looking the device up for my back and then saw that it can help break down the tight fascia in the thighs.....I don't mean bashing the legs like some of these videos.....it is more like a massage on the thighs no different than I would do on areas of my body that have pain and are tight. Wanted to run past you and see if you have an opinion about that? Thanks Linda

Hi Joey.....I am wondering if there is a PDF for the ULBHT level 2. I have level 1 from a purchase I made years ago. I am doing the 6 day but wanted to try that one as well. I don't always want to follow you (no offence) on the computer.....I'd prefer at times to be watching tv while doing these and having a PDF would help.

Ok thanks Joey. My wrist is better so will get back to the 6 day routine. On the non-leg days of the 6 day I will add in those other leg exercises as you mention. I will do my best to do 14 hours between meals (at least during the week). I will be patient. It is hard with summer coming. But I know that half the battle is the mind.....if I believe this will work it will.....so I need to create new beliefs around my body's ability to tone up. Thanks again for your feedback

Hi Joey.....after our session and I started the 5-day but then went to the 6-day.....I did that for a few weeks then injured my wrist which really halted a few things but I did keep up with leg exercises and core and whatever I could do that didn't require my wrist. I had momentum up until this point then became a little jadded.
I keep seeing videos of these women who state they got rid of their celulitte and saggy and are now toned.
So I am just wondering....are they doing the 6-day series or are they doing something else. One of the emails I read a woman was saying she was doing these leg exercises daily (didn't way which ones) and say shifts.
So I suppose my question.....do I just keep doing the 6-day? I can see in the 6-day that I will be hitting all body parts....but there are only 2 leg days. Should I be doing something more? Also is dietary shifts really important. Meaning I eat great (as mentioned to you) and the only thing different that I haven't done is the eating later. I am going to try and finish dinner by 7pm and eat breakfast at 9am....but perhaps I need to have more time in between. I think I am just feeling a little confused after losing the momentum of the first few weeks.
Sorry Joey I hit send before I was finished. What I was meaning was that I see emails from women who follow your program and I see many emails from you outlining other exercises of yours (LIIT, various legs and butt) etc.
They are short clips. But I am wondering, in conjunction with the 6-day (or perhaps a different program I should be doing) should I also be incorporating these leg/glute specific exercises just to be more effective. Also I had thought that if we just did the celulitte program that that was to be done 3-5 times a week. So I guess I am just trying to figure out if I should be doing more. I just want to start seeing some toning effect. And my first message I made some errors....what I was meaning to say with the diet is if I should have more time between meals or is 14 hours enough? Typically I have had about 13 hours between meals.

That's a great idea thanks. Will buy these. My wrists are very small and any kind of weight on them I feel.....even doing the Joey's. So this will really help. Also I just clicked on the Naked Beuty series. I hadn't previously as thought was just the legs that are shown in Day 6. So will follow the core/arms as you mentioned. Thanks again. I think I need to spend some time just reviewing the site to get an idea of everything so not to have to keep sending you questions. One last question though......for cardio I know you say to avoid the trampoline as not as effective.....but if I am running on it and feeling a burn.....wouldn't that be the same as running on the treadmill? I will do your body weight cardio.....but when not able.....I have been doing the steps.....but just curious why running on the trampoline wouldn't be effective.

Thanks Joey.....I did find the core ones so all good with that.....I just add on some different ones where you add arms. With the arms I'll search for the exercises you mention or will follow these pilates ones I know that require no wrist action....just to ensure doing them. No cardio machine but will do the steps until such times as can use my arms. The wrist is healing but need to be careful. I have always had issues doing any kind of body weight with my arms so will just be mindful of this. I'll just improvise in areas where I need to.

Hi Joey....I did something to my wrist earlier in the week.....so until it is healed (Im wearing a brace at the moment) I am doing exercises that do not require my arms and hands. So few questions. 1) the only cardio that I am doing is the step up and down for 20 mins as your body weight cardio requires arms....are there other effective no arms needed cardio that you can recommend. 2) do you have any arm exercises on your site that you can guide me to that do not require weights or bands....I know there are exercises from other people I have followed but wondered about yours. 3) same with core.....I am doing some that are in the 6 day but many require the bands. I want to keep the momentum but it is a little tough. Thanks Linda
