Angela Vescovo-Dickten - very helpful info! Ok - refer to 1, 2, 3 above and keep me posted please. Also - do you have nay ankle weights? I ask because you should be adding in some quad specific rehab exercises that won't stress the knees while doing them... let me know.

Hi Angela! A few things - and a question...

1 - instead of ice... switch to moist heat - twice daily on each knee... this is the pad I use and recommend: https://amzn.to/45Tv0bq

2 - instead of Naked-Beauty - switch to this mat routine for a week or two and let's see how you do - be sure to include the stretches in the first part of the video: https://sculptafitclub.com/programs/ultimate-leg-butt-hip-thigh-makeover-level-1-mat-training-session

3 - after a week or two we can think about bringing back Naked Beauty into the mix - with low reps to start.

4 - Question: Do you know what caused it in the past - and what treatment got it to "calm down"? (NOTE - some people who are deconditioned have joints that NEED consistent exercises and stretching in order to build them up to functional levels.)

Athari alroumi yes ALL my lower body programs help reverse the cause of common “cellulite” dimples, ripples and shadows… you can alternate ULBHTM and Naked Beauty … don’t worry about ULBHTM level 2 right now… we will know when the time is right when level one gets “too easy”

There should not be an i after com (remove the i)

Gina Crubaugh - see previous reply :-) I'll add here that if you increase your food sourced protein as I mentioned in the other reply intake you could set the aminos aside for a while - you may not need them actually.

Gina Crubaugh - this is great info - and I like your approach - I will ask - what types and amounts of healthy fats do you add to your meals? besides from the nuts/seeds...

Also - what carbohydrate sources are your daily "go to" that you includes in most meals?

Do you feel like you can eat a few more ounces of protein in these meals - or would it feel "forced"?

Regarding the Elixir Mixer - I'd suggest giving it a try as the light stevia added has been very well received by others who had an aversion to other cheaper sources used in higher amounts in the past. The full spectrum nutrient combo would surely help raise the levels of key micro-nutrients your body can utilize.

I didn't hear back from you in the other post so I'm not even sure you saw my questions or suggestions.. Either way... you can request a refund by emailing Beth on my support team at: joeyatlas@thejoeyatlas.com

I will add that you're giving up way too soon and patience is needed when trying to change your problem areas in your mid-forties. You're welcome to try the more advanced programs too if you haven't already(??)

Athari alroumi - I might have an old one in a file somewhere - but what you really just need to do is focus on doing Level 1 Mat and Standing sessions together... 2 - 3 times a week. Have you started yet? If not - start tomorrow and let me know how you do. And we go from there.. (NOTE - be sure to take "before" photos for your own reference - as these will help you see the improvements you're making as the months progress.

Athari alroumi - perfect - ok ..do you have any fitness items at home or will you be training at the gym?

Either way - let's go right to the 6-Day Sample Schedule (there are two lower-body days in this 6 day cycle) - here's the link to the entire playlist - https://sculptafitclub.com/programs/collection-6-day-intermediate-sample-schedule-complete-video-playlist?category_id=10017 you'll see which videos to do each day and you can also use the calendar function to place the video links into the specific days you will be doing them.

Any questions just let me know!!

Gina Crubaugh - You're so welcome! Thank YOU for putting my methods into practice and getting those great results!!

66 is "young" when we take proper care of ourselves!!

I LOVE hearing this great feedback, Gina!! I sense a possible podcast interview in the future :-)

You can surely build more muscle from here forward. I love good bands because when used properly they create a synergistic effect when combined with bodyweight exercsies and dumbbell exercsies that makes great thigns happen.

Yes - please do let me know when you get the bands - and let me know here what exact dumbbell weights you currently have.

And give me an idea of your daily protein intake too, please.
