Great question, Louise! And you are correct - no need to worry as you're doing GREAT - and this is a VERY challenging combo session (ADVANCED progression) and designed to be a challenge for most people :-)

Angela Vescovo-Dickten thanks for the answers... Ok - here's what to do for starters...

Do only the exercises from the Naked Beauty routine that you can comfortably do. BUT - increase the sets to a point where you feel safe/comfortable...

It's ok that you leave out certain exercises that do not currently agree with your knees... And in the future as things get stronger it's quite possible we can add those in - or modified versions of them.

Let me know if that is doable and please keep me posted on your progress so we can add more when appropriate. :-)

Hi Brigitte - I'm sorry to hear this. And yes - I can suggest what to do... QUESTION - how/when did you get this illness and what exact types of specialists are you seeing for it?

Regarding the exercises adjustments - simply do the exercises you are capable of doing and only do the number of reps and sets that are doable. Simple-  but that will work. And - you can do them throughout the course of the day - they don't have to be done all at once.... In time - as you heal - and as you get stronger - you will naturally be able to do more and more.

Let me know that suggestion helps.

Sending prayers and healing vibes your way.🙏💪

Hi Angela, to be clear - it's being on your knees (knees on floor) that creates the issues? Is that correct? )And - have you ever had rehab/physical therapy done on them?? If so - how long ago?

Aim to do it 2 X per week - and on the other days you want to be using other videos (such as from the Sample Schedules) to do the other muscle group/body zones.. You don't just want to train your midsection alone. You can use part 2 right from the start - or add it after part 1 starts to get "easier".

Hi Maria!! And welcome :-) Yes - start with 2 lb weights and if/when they feel too easy - go up to your next weight. (What weights do you have??)

Louise!! Excellent questions!

1 - YES - the hamstrings are working hard on the reverse planks and it's normal to "feel" them working.

2 - YES - it is good to vary the position/distance of where you place your heels.

3 - Can you clarify the front thigh/knee question? Which specific exercises are you referring to?

Much love

Joey
