I’m a first time mom who had health struggles during pregnancy and then a baby who doesn’t sleep more than 4 hours typically. That to preface that I haven’t really been active for about 2 years. So this program was really accessible and a good start from being inactive to becoming more active. I enjoyed it and can feel myself becoming stronger.

Nothing really changed for me doing this physically, it was all a mental challenge. I was just trying to get in the habit of working out again with a program where I couldn’t really get hurt by doing it. Never broke a sweat, but it helped me go from not really moving ever to doing something and not worrying about it being silly or pointless (a bad mindset for me against working out). For that, it did what it was supposed to and that’s what I needed.
