Hi LuAnn P.! If you want to do that session and you don't have bands yet (get them ASAP as they are AWESOME when used properly) then just leave out the exercises you can't do and double or triple up on the ones you can...

And do get some heavier dumbbells if the ones you have are too light for you. Once you have the resistance bands and proper weight-dumbbells - you can do almost every training video in Total-Access - if not all of them :-) 

Stephanie H. AWESOME work here!! Love it... here's the link for a good body comp scale: https://amzn.to/4wo9HLS

Make the rest of the day a STRONG one!! Keep me posted :-)

Kristina You're very welcome :-) and I love that you and your daughter are training together!! That's awesome AND this style of training will be what she can take with her THROUGH HER LIFE...

Nice work on your husband's part coming through with that sweet and healthy gift of a home gym! Nice.

NOW that you have the right method in your hands... you mentioned the hidden key right here; "...probably need to be a little more honest about how inconsistent I am. We always can find time if its important!"

So.. YES! as I mentioned previously - stick with a Sample Schedule - REMAIN consistent as often as possible (make this a PRIORITY) and you will see progress happen - and feel it too! Keep me posted!

Hi Stephanie H. and welcome!! 

This is a GREAT share and I love how you're thinking about this! Mindset is key - and adding the RIGHT program and methods makes magic happen :-) How did you do today - and what's your plan for tomorrow? And...

Do you have a body-composition scale or just one that measures total "weight"?

Carla W. awesome, Carla!! And welcome! :-) This is great! Be sure to post in the main Community area for me if you or your husband have ANY questions or need specific guidance on which training Sample Schedule to follow as you guys get started!

Kristina thsi is great context, Kristina!

And I love your goals :-) ... keep things simple in this early stage... don't "kinda jump around" - choose either the 6 or the 9 day Sample Scheudle playlist and stick with as your main training routine. I'd suggest sticking with the 6-Day for at least 3-4 weeks.

Be sure to make use of the mobility/flexibility routines as those will help with those issues you've mentioned.

Be consistent*** and keep me posted on here - asking me questions along the way as that's what this is here for :-)

When do you typically training? Do you train at home - or a gym - or both?

You can totally "be ready" for the wedding in March :-) 

LuAnn P. Awesome!! and yes - the hip/glutes thing should improve with time... just be mindful on how many reps you do and keep things moderate. The new Elixir formula for Version 2.0 will be shared very soon :-)

Chrissy P. let's start with the back issue first... Can you give me more details about it? Also...

What have you been doing specifically for your back recently?

Do you have certain physical therapy exercises you're supposed to be doing?

Also - in regards to my exercises - do you notice any in particular that create the discomfort in the area where you have issues?

Hi and welcome, Kristina! I wish you would have come in here and requested help sooner - this is what it's for :-)  If the Quick-Start email didn't give you direction... Tell me: your current starting health and fitness status...

The more you share the better context I have and the better I can guide you.

Also - tell me your most important goals - short term and long. Give me the reasons why you signed up - what do you want to achieve?

The youtube videos are great - but you have access to SO MUCH MORE in here... that's where your focus should be - and then using the youtube micro-workouts to add into the mix.

LuAnn P. ahhh love all this, LuAnn!! :-) Great to see a face with the name!!

I went to UB! You familiar with it?

Ok - We can improve all those conditions AND prevent other ones. The key is for you to get going here with a doable playlist.. LET ME KNOW when you're logged in and I'll suggest a starting playlist :-)
