Elena Hauser AWESOME!! :-)

Stephanie H. Nice work!! Love it... MORNING is key for most people... anything else added the rest of the day is "bonus points" and faster progress :-)

Hi Shawne L.! Great question... that sounds like an older video (?) .. not sure if you've tried any of the arm training sessions here in TA - or some of the newer ones on my youtube.. BUT - the kickback is great WHEN DONE PROPERLY :-) 

Did you have a bad experience with bands? (they are awesome when used properly... they deliver serious results in my programs :-)

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 :-)
