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 :-)

Hi Chrissy P.!! Maybe I missed something.. let me know what you need!

Laurie D. Awesome- ok keep me posted on your progress!!

Elena H. I would try again next - but put the bottom/padding part of your palm against the edge of the counter and not the middle part of your palm... your wrist doesn't have to be perfectly straight... but the straighter you can get it the less strain will be felt and that's why it might be doable.  Keep me posted**

Hi Shawne L.! The best and easiest way to work around this is to simple leave out any exercises in any given training session that you know you currently can't do. You focus on the exercises you CAN do - and you add more sets of those exercises to replace the sets you are leaving out. Let me know if that's doable :-)
