These are some frequently asked questions about the program.  I will update this section as more questions come in!

How Long Are the Routines?

  • Each full-length video is 12-14 minutes long.
  • There is also a 2 minute express video for every single routine.  Each day you can choose if you want to do the full-length or the express!

 

What If I Can’t Get on the Floor?

No worries! I have standing or chair options for every single floor-based exercise, so you literally never need to get on the floor if that’s uncomfortable or inaccessible for your amazing body. =)

  • Full-length Videos – Sometimes there are two different full-length versions: a standard version and a non-floor version.  The standard version will have floor-based exercises while the non-floor version will only have standing and seated exercises.  Pick the one you want to do!
  • Express Videos – Just like above, sometimes there are two different express versions: a standard version and a non-floor version.  Pick the one you want to do!

 

How Long Is Phase 2?

Phase 2 is 30 days long if you do one video each day.  If you skip days, it can take longer.

  • It’s important to emphasize that you are a HUMAN and not a machine!  You are busy, and life happens.  Just do your best to show up and complete the program at a pace that works for you.  It’s totally fine if this takes more than 30 days to complete!  Try your best, but don’t ever beat yourself up.  Be kind to yourself.  Celebrate the small wins.  =)

What Should I Expect Each Week?

Each week, you will have 2 days of cardio, 2 days of upper body strengthening, 2 days of lower body and core strengthening, and 1 day of flexibility training.

The last two days of the program explore self-massage and restorative exercise in our upper and lower body muscles and fascia.  These restorative days help decrease pain and tension while improving flexibility.

 

Should I Do More Exercise Outside of This Program?

The most important thing is to build  daily habit of exercise.  Just doing the videos and nothing else will help make this a habit for you.

With that being said….more movement is always a good thing!  I encourage you to engage in activities that you enjoy.  If you like bowling, doing yoga, playing active games, riding your bike, dancing, etc., try to find a way to incorporate it into your life in a fun, fulfilling way.

What If I Become Sick, Sore, or Injured?

If you are…

  • Sore: Sometimes when we exercise, we can develop soreness in our muscles that may linger for several days.  If you are still sore and scheduled to do a routine that involves the sore muscles, take an extra day or so off until the soreness goes away.  For example, if your shoulders are sore from a previous workout and you are scheduled to do Upper Body again, take a day or two off until the soreness in the shoulders is gone.  In the meantime, something simple like walking or stretching is a great way to stay active!
  • Sick: Take as many days off as you need to until you are no longer sick.  You should not do moderate or strenuous exercise while sick.  Light exercise like stretching and walking may be okay while sick, depending on your illness.  Consult with a doctor to see what you can and cannot do while sick.
  • Injured: If you experience an injury while doing this program, do not do any routines involving the injured part of your body until you see a doctor and get medical advice on how to proceed.

 

What Can I Do if the Website or Videos Are Slow?

If the website and videos are taking a long time to load or keep pausing, try some of the following tips:

  • Close all your other internet tabs.  Having multiple tabs or windows open for your internet browser can slow down your computer and make other websites take a longer time to load.
  • Close other programs and applications on your computer.  If your computer has multiple programs open, it has to use power for multiple things and can create slowness across the board.
  • Try another browser.  For various reasons, your current browser may not be working properly.  Try another one such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, or Safari (Apple).
  • Try clearing your cache.  If the above three options are not working, try clearing your cache on your preferred internet browser.  This article here explains what cache is and how to clear it for optimal computer performance.
  • Check your internet connection.  If none of these options are working, you may have a weak internet connection.  Wi-fi is not as strong as using an ethernet cable, so you may want to connect your computer to your internet router through an ethernet cable.  Another option is to restart your internet router.

How Can I Watch the Videos on My TV?

As of right now, the platform I host my videos on does not have the capability to cast videos to your TV.  However, you can connect your phone or laptop to your TV through an HDMI cable.

Here are some links to purchase HDMI cables for various devices from Amazon (you can find these cables in other large stores as well):

**Please note: Due to technology variations among different devices, the above cables may not be compatible with your specific device.  Always check the specifications to see if they are compatible with yours!  You can also search the internet for “_____ HDMI cable.”  Fill in the blank with your device name!
