Awesome, Bekki! Very helpful...

Financial planning - nice... I became intrigued with investing when I was about 15/16 years old and started with mutual funds and stocks as soon as I turned 18 - and I've never stopped, I love it. And taught my kids the same too.. I also teach other teens and young adults as well.. as I feel this is such an important part of life and yet so many are missing out on getting a proper early start and all the good that comes with that. A discussion for another day :-)

If you don't have good resistance bands - you'll want to get them as I use them in some training sessions and they are VERY effective when used properly - AND also come in very handy when traveling :-) These are the ones: http://bestbodybands.com

With your last Dexa showing osteopenia and osteoporosis in the hips - you want to shift your "reasons why" to that and all the other health problems that come from those...

If you focus on your HEALTH improvements and disease prevention as your "reasons why" - and you take proper action as a natural lifestyle - not only will you get the health improvements and reduction of disease risk BUT you will also get all the aesthetic improvements you desire... AN MORE!!

So on that note - I suggest you start with the 5-Day Sample Schedule - and let's see how you do with it... if it's a good challenge - we can stick it for a bit - (if it's too easy we can go to a progression)... AND I want you to add a post dinner walk whenever possible...

Here is the 5-day Sample Schedule playlist:

Let me know if that looks doable and if you have any questions.

Claudia F. do the 7 minutes of stretches at the beginning of this mat session you did on Thurs (the ULBHTM level 1 mat session). then do abs/core and then do the same mat stretches again.

Bekki was great seeing you chime in on the live session! Was that youtube or tiktok? ...

Ok - before I give you "what to do".. I need some more info... 

What does your work schedule look like and what type of work is is? Desk/sedentary? Manual/physical? etc...

Do you have any joint issues or medical concerns?

Will you be training at home, gym or both?

Can you take simple "before" photos ASAP (front, back, both sides)... in a place in your house that you can duplicate for same visual context - 6 months from now... 12 months from now, etc..?

Debra - this is a good strap kit: https://amzn.to/4i8hyJ3 

This is the band kit I use and recommend: http://bestbodybands.com/ 

For adjustable dumbbells - you'll see a bunch of good options here: https://amzn.to/3Sv45kh (your choice would depend on how much weight you want your set to go up to.... only you? I'd go to about 25lbs per dumbbell.... If you have males in the house who will be training - go up to 55 lbs per dumbbell)

For push up handles: https://amzn.to/4yjezlE

And for an exericse ball - there are a bunch of options here: https://amzn.to/4yn7K2J (most people of average height go for a 55cm ball)

Welcome grace!!...

Give me some more context on you (when did you start seeing the dimples and shadows, age, have you been doing any training previously, etc)  and which programs you have access to (Total-Access or only Naked-Beauty) and then I can guide you on the best start for your training program. :-) And don't forget to take your "before" photos ASAP! 🔥💪

Claudia F. Awesome update Claudia!! You're doing great...

The stretch selections are up to you UNLESS I've included them in certain videos along with the training in that video. As time progresses and you get familiar with all the options in here - you'll find your favorites and you'll also find options that fit your busy schedule on certain days.

the knees... do they feel "good" when doing the training sessions - especially lower body?

That's a great and simple stretch for your lower back when you feel you need it :-)

Hi Ruby - if you purchased Naked-Beauty before you joined Total-Access - you just cancel your TA membership and you'll still be able to access NB...

If you didn't purchase NB before joining TA - you would have purchase it to get access to it. :-)
