Thanks for the answers, Rebecca... Seeing that it's not even a month since you've started - and the other factors you've mentioned - I'd suggest patience in giving your body a chance to change and improve. Some women may take up to 5-7 months to start seeing the surface results of the changes underneath. And if you're only 45 then taking the time to do this right will give you many more years of positive progress - instead of the opposite.

When you say "doing the workouts 5-6 times a week"... Do you mean you've been doing the Naked Beauty lower-body session that much?? If so - you're going to want to change that to 2-3 times per week - and YES, doubling up (or triple sometimes) on the lower-body session. You can surely do the other bonus video sessions on the other days in between - of course.

Let me know if that helps and what other questions you may have. Looking forward to your success!

Hi Rebecca! When did you start the program? How many times a week are you doing it? How many times are you doing the Naked Beauty making routine on the days you do it? What is your age? And what was your fitness history before finding Naked Beauty? Also - are you taking any medications? I ask these questions because each woman’s timeline for the various improvements and progress is different. 🤓

Hi Denise Flannigan - In the videos where I might be using the home-gym I give substitute exercises for members who do not have it. All you need is your body (for all the bodyweight exercises) a mat or thick towel - resistance bands and some light dumbbells. If you need a link for a good band kit just let me know.  Most members of the programs don't have the home-gym system so I made sure to always give substitute exercises in the videos where I am using the gym.

Which lower-body training session(s) have you done so far and how did you do with them? Easy, just right, challenging, etc..?

Hi Denise Flannigan - be sure take a look at the other Sample Schedules as well and choose what would be more appropriate for your current level of fitness. If you need any input just ask. 

To answer your question - the videos showing for each day are suggestions. If you have time - even if at different times of the day - you want to aim to get them all in - but if not - your aim is to get the main ones in each day - and then add the cardio and mobility/flexibility as time allows. Let me know if that helps. :-)

Perfect, Denise Flannigan ! If you want to share your goals - and your current starting status summary (age, recent fitness history, body-composition%, weight, height) I can give you some specific direction - unless you're already chosen a Sample Schedule to follow?

Hi Denise Flannigan !! And welcome! You should have received at least one welcome/ "Quick Start" email to help you get started, etc.. Can you please let us know if you did - or did not get those emails (if not PLEASE check bulk/promotions/spam, etc) and let us know here so we can get you going. :-)

Barbara Clark - How did you do with the lower-body mat session?

Delaine - thanks for the photo! I'd recommend adding a good set of bands - this kit is ideal: http://bestbodybands.com

Ok - keep me posted on how these adjustments and 'edits' go over the next few weeks. And if any questions just come here and post.

I’d suggest aiming for about 80-90 gms protein per day for starters. Think of adding veggies/salads to your meals and not necessarily “high carbs” - although you do still want to take in some healthy carbs daily… my point is do t replace the subtracted protein with dense complex carbs - aim for the veggies/salads and some fruit.

Aim for some avocado throughout the week - but stay away from the nut butters as it is very easy to overeat with those… aim for whole nuts and seeds instead.

Have you seen/tried some of the meals in the QUICKLY FIT cooking video section here?

Are you using any of the chest, back, shoulder training routines?

I’d also suggest using some of the bodyweight cardio sessions 2-3 times per week.

What types of equipment do you have at home. (You can post photos here if easier to show.)

Delaine - thanks for sharing - very helpful....

Some other observations - and thoughts that will help:

1 - I believe your daily diet might be too protein heavy and is lacking enough veggie & salad items to round things out and give the body more of what it needs for change.

2 - What healthy fats do you consume/use? And when/how?

3 - Have you ever tried Zevia soda.. no calories (naturally sweetened with stevia (it's AWESOME). I don't care for people consuming diet sodas with the chemical sweeteners.

4 - What other cardio do you do besides spin class? How many times a week? I'd suggest trying my bodyweight cardio sessions a few times a week.

5 - take "before" photos ASAP - even if only for your own reference - they will be helpful. (front, back and both side views in a place you can repeat in the future, for consistency)

6 - when do you plan on starting back on my programs?
