Frannie Vivian thanks, Frannie.. for context - these REPLAY videos were recorded during covid when we were teaching classes in our studio one day and literally overnight had to close our doors - figure out how to keep coaching all our local clients - and we started teaching from home with whatever we had... iphone cams and regular lighting. So many people LOVED the sessions they requested we keep them for future use - and here we are :-)

Hi Susan K.!! 

This is AWESOME!! And you're just getting started!... I have to highlight something VERY important though...

You wrote; "..and even gained another pound (argh)," - this is critical for people to understand:

When you and I did the coaching call session - you shared your "before" photos and your body stats... 

At 5'1 and 117 lbs - you don't have a "weight issue" - you have a BODY COMPOSITION issue... your photos made it very clear that you are lacking muscle/lean tissue - and hence the visual appearance of sagging, flab, etc...

Now that you are doing the type of training that REVERSES that issue - you are GAINING muscle, lean tissue (ligaments, tendons) bone density, blood volume.... 

Those valuable necessities for STRONG living have "weight". So people that have a body composition issue may see the scale "go up" in the early stages as you gain the necessary tissue/muscle to make your body stronger - and CHANGE THE LOOK of your body...

So many people, especially women think they "have to lose weight" to look better - when in reality that often makes them look worse.. IN TRUTH they have to IMPROVE body-composition to develop firm, sculpted, shapely muscles - that also helps LIFT & TIGHTEN the skin - while also REDUCING fat/flab as part of the natural changes that happen when doing this type of PROPER training.

So... like I tell all my private coaching clients who are not "weight loss" clients but actually "body composition improvement" clients... ==>STOP looking at your weight number on the scale...

We need to start paying attention to your BODY-COMPOSITION numbers and making them better and better as time progresses. (NOT your weight!!)

That's where the success stories come from :-) 

AND - the fact that your are FUNCTIONALLY improving your physical capabilities is PROOF that your neuro-muscular strength is already improving!! 

Onward we go!!

Tonya M. Perfect - let me know if this Rotator-Cuff Reconditioning Session looks doable to you for the days when you are not going to PT https://sculptafitclub.com/programs/shoulders-for-life?cid=1001575&permalink=shoulders-for-life-rotator-cuff-reconditioning-sessionmov-6a307f

Tonya M. understood..Do you have any very light therapy/resistance bands? ( I only saw one on the door in the photo you shared).

Tonya M. got it... When did you start PT? How much longer will you be going? Do you have a home routine they would like you to do for the shoulder? If so can you share the PDF here? If not - can you ask them if they would like you to do specific exercises at home - and if they can share a PDF to guide you? Let me know!

Perfect!! any questions just post here!! And get "before" photos of him ASAP! 

Tonya M. You're so welcome! :-) ...tell me more about the shoulder... Damage before the surgery?  Did you do physical therapy? What guidelines did they give you for going on your own?  When you say can't use weights... What exactly do you mean? 

This is AWESOME Susan K.!! Don't rush into Level 2 ULBHTM... give yourself time with Level 1 mat and standing. You can do double calve raises - and no need for singles yet. :-)  And you can leave out certain exercises if they feel too challenging now - and save them for the future!
