Thanks for explaining what exactly the program entails and how it will work! 🙌🏼

It was unclear how it works with the time and timer should have a 30sec interval. 

If stopping every 30 does not seem challenging at all. But let’s see if the program gets harder through time

Joelle

So good! Loving the low impact for my hormone health while still feeling the intensity.

The instructions for the scissor/cross-at-the-shins leg exercise was a bit confusing. The instructions say to keep legs bent and parallel to the floor, but the video shows the legs completely perpendicular to the floor bending at the hips. I wasn’t sure which one to follow. Maybe I misread the instructions?

The timer doesn’t work. It’s confusing to understand if it’s 30sec on 30sec repeat before moving to the next exercise or not. One way is a 14min workout. The other is a 28min.

Week 2 & mid workout I text my partner I’m so glad I came to this workout ❤️‍🔥

Awesome! Those ski jump things looked simple but holy moly did it get my heart rate up!

Candace

Genuinely confused on the structure of this program. I feel frustrated that I don’t know for certain that I’m following it accurately. The instructions are really unclear to me because there’s mention of moving from one movement to the next with no rest, but then also taking 30 seconds off between movements. Also, unsure about whether to do each movement 2 times per round, or just once. I wish there was better descriptions
