Caroline. I want to put out my thanks to you for all of your videos and the inspiration you are. I found you about 6 months ago and I-m glad I did. I also follow Christine Khuri who is close to my age and my size. I love the clarity you provide and understanding of all your workouts. I always feel the work I did the next day. Because I-m a bit older and sadly have been in menopause, my body has changed. Mostly for me it-s body fat in my tummy and my boobs have gotten larger. It-s disappointing because I really need to focus on nutrition along with your workouts. Mostly I-m pretty good with eating, but I do have a tendency to snack too much. I-m a small person like you only 5-1 but my weight is too much for me. I know you suggest not going on the scale much, but I do. Keep on doing what you do you have many followers. I enjoy the hiit and weights. I mostly do your full body weight workouts because I like to get it all done at the same time. Do you think that-s a good idea or do you think I should do the targeted workouts? Generally i hit the weights twice a week. I run and bike ride and walk probably 20 miles a week (4 miles of running or walking per session. Thanks! I appreciate you!

I've never done any sort of weight training before, so I was a little anxious about day 4. I bought a pair of 3kg dumbbells because that was the lightest weight on Caroline's recommended weight for a beginner, but they felt intimidatingly heavy when I was trying them out in the store, and I've gotta be honest -- I had two 1, 5L water bottles on standby just in case. I'm glad I trusted Caroline though, this was very doable! I paused and rewinded a lot to make sure I had correct form, but otherwise this was a breeze. In some exercises, the 3 kg felt just right - meaning I could do the exercise with correct form but felt the effort of it - in others, I'm surprised to say I could have used something a litlle heavier. Looking forward to see how I progress!

I am a 44 year old mom of six beautiful children. I found you by looking up a shoulder workout and I really like your style. This program kicked my butt especially on the leg day, but hey I've made it through day 4! Yesterday I did your stretch program and went for an hour walk to give my body a break before the full body workout. I plan on going through this program several times until I can get all the way through them without stopping.
Reading the other comments I would agree with their requests for more beginner, intermediate 30 minute workouts.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us!

I had a baby and I was a ballet dancer. I figured yoga and aerobic was not working as I was expecting to change my body. I started with Carolyn just arm exercises as combination with the stuff I was doing and I started to notice muscle so I am here in number 4 epic day and I feel stronger everyday: . I would love a little bit of advices in terms of breathing or how to performed the exercises and postures. Thanks a lot for humble you are and to be honest about the result and progress. I appreciate that a lot. Good vibes everybody

Hello Caroline, you are awesome! Thank you so much for making these videos and giving back to the fitness community. I really, really enjoyed this workout and I have a question. Would it be beneficial and okay if I just repeated this one 3 times a week for about a month? It's a full body workout, it's short and it just feels amazing. And after a month to switch it up: ) Thanks!

Third time doing this and I can already see the progress! I even increased the weight from last time, from 4 to 5 kg and I was challenged, but in a good way. Next week I will move on to EPIC I and I wonder how I will survive/succeed.

Caroline, I have 2 rotator cuff tears and can't do standing shoulder press. Do you have another exercise I could do instead as you do the press? Thanks Sheldon
