Linda Beadle - have you ever tried a morning fast? I ask because there might be some room for trimming out a few calories to help with the lower-body fat reduction & tightening.

Linda Beadle - Yes but I would also try doing some of my 40 minute (est.) lower-body routines that you may not have tried yet - as they combine everything - but into a shorter time frame. I can post links to them - just let me know.

Yes - cardio helps with fat reduction and sage... and the training sessions build lean-tissue/muscle.

The cardio use of lower-body is not the same as resistance-training the lower-body. Cardio is very low-threshold/intensity.. with the same movement(s) repeated.

Yes - feel free to add trampoline and rower as cardio options. (you can mix/combine them on days you feel like it). Keep me posted!

Linda Beadle - that sounds like around 5 meals/snacks if I'm reading that correctly?   What time is breakfast for you? ...and Dinner time?

Linda Beadle - this sounds good - If I understand you correctly. Somethings I would consider is aiming for 6-7 days for the cardio - and upping the time to 30-35 minutes. Also - with the weather getting warmer soon - are you able to add some walk-time to your weekly schedule?

Hi Linda Beadle  - doing lower-body daily will be counterproductive... if you're getting in 2-3 proper lower-body training sessions in per week - then you're going to need to let them recover/build on the other days.. doing cardio on those days is fine - but you do not want to train them.. use those other days to train your other body zones/muscle groups.

Have you been adding weights/dumbbells to my lower-body routines?

How much and what exact type of cardio have you been doing daily?

What specifically does your daily menu/nutrition look like?

Jill Kristine Wilcox ! PS - I just saw that email/text you sent..with podcast link - thank you!! Will give a listen asap :-)

Yum!! How have you liked all those so far?

Excellent, Jill Kristine Wilcox !

What kind of daily protein intake are you getting?

Don't worry about a heart rate level... Focus more on covering the distance/time you want - at a pace that is comfortable but feels like a bit of sustainable 'work'.

LOVE hearing this Jill Kristine Wilcox !! You're off to the perfect start and I know you will succeed!No need to put a time deadline on an arbitrary number of pounds - as now the KEY is focusing on habits, behaviors and mindset - for LIFE.... Then your actions will be correct and the right improvements will occur... and your body composition will change accordingly. :-)Some questions:

1 - what specific nutrition adjustments have you made since starting?

2 - have you tried any of the recipe/cooking videos in Total-Access?

3 - what other types of cardio can you do? walking? have you tried any of my bodyweight-toning cardio videos?

Jemima Penfold - you'll definitely want to get some heavier dumbbells (5, 8, 10, 12) :-) and you should make use of the abs/core & arms videos in the Naked-Beauty playlist first... as for chest, back, shoulders... you should be able to use almost any video training session - even when I use the home-gym system because in those videos I give enough alternative/substitutes suggestions where so members can still do those sessions. Let me know that makes sense - and how you do!!
