Claudia F. yes... But just be mindful as you may need to reduce the number of reps in your sets as the resistance is increased... and as the weeks progress - your reps will increase as strength increases. :-)

Claudia F. understood - good plan...

I'd suggest increasing resistance on any exercises you can.. and possibly adding the 4X through when able...

Knowing the issues you have - It's best to continue on this foundational playlist before trying to progress to something different. We want to reduce risk of injury/triggering old issues.. while slowly conditioning the body to be able to progress with no problems. Make sense?

Claudia F. When you do these 3X through are they fitting into your schedule ok?

Claudia F. Yes

Hi Lois C. and welcome to Total-Access!

If you share your short term and long term goals with me I can then guide you to the specific training videos and/or playlist to follow as you get started here :-) 

For the bands: http://bestbodybands.com/

Agnes T. Hi Agnes! And welcome... Tell me what your short term and long term goals are and I'll give you specific training videos and/or playlists to follow to reach those goals. The videos in here are all follow along - rep by rep - these are different from my youtube videos which have longer explanations for the large crowds who are watching those videos for instruction and context.

Got it Heidi K....

ok - for stretches I suggest.... the first 7 minutes of the ULBHTM mat session level 1: https://sculptafitclub.com/programs/ultimate-leg-butt-hip-thigh-makeover-level-1-mat-training-session

Do them on your bed. Just the stretches. Don't force anything just do the best you can...

And - I would seriously suggest you get some diagnostics done on the hip. From what you describe it sounds like there is some structural damage (those are some of the symptoms I had for the last few years)...

This means you'll most likely want to get with your primary care doctor - get proper referrals - and get a full picture of your hip joint status...

I can't diagnose based on this conversation - but it does sound like there is some damage in there causing the symptoms you're having. The only way to know what kind and how much damage is by getting x-rays and MRIs done.

Let me know if this sounds like something you're able to do.

Awww Heidi K.- thank you!!

for the hair/supp question... there are some women who report the Elixir Mixer helps with their nails and hair (and skin). You can see this in some of the reviews here: https://getlivingstrength.com/products/brain-belly-body-elixir-mixer-powder?selling_plan=689873191220#looxReviews

Regarding the hip... I need some context: 

How is your weight?

What specific training have you been doing on a regular basis?

How long ago did these hip symptoms start?

Has the hip ever bothered you in the past - if so when?

Sheryl O. Awesome!! What exact goals do you have, Sheryl? for price - it's going to be around $3k for everything - but do check out the website https://getsculptafit.com/ as you'll appreciate what's on there :-)

Claudia F. Remind me...

Which exact sample schedule are you following?

LOVE that the sciatica is GONE!! :-)

Creatine after training - yes. On on training days - you can take it anytime. And later training - still yes - take it after.
