Can’t do pushups, too big, But the rest is useful! Do I do these every day or every other day?

Thank you Nicole. I needed this. Expecially to improve my strength and flexibility for my tennis game. Gives me more of a stretch than hand weights. Great job for you and me!

Very effective and useful for people who, like me, have to travel a lot.

Excellent video. Would like to suggest: many of us do not have the hamstring flexibility to sit up straight with our legs extended as shown. This increases risk of lower back injury/strain as well. A safe alternative is to either sit on a yoga block or cushion, OR roll up the end of your mat to make a cushion to sit on and elevate the hips. Or, can try bending the knees while still having the band around the feet.

Excellent suggestion! Sorry we didn’t mention that while taping.

every other day because the mucels need to heal before working out again but also eat very high sources of protein to build that mucle like turkey for example.

If I do this upper body workout along with another one or two for the rest of the month will I see a noticeable difference in my arms and back ?

Nice video out there!!! I learned a lot of information. To see video about 7 minute muscle building just watch my videos.!

Would it be possible to add a “calories burned” to videos other than strictly cardio?

@nuzzi7 Thanks so much! Hope you like the DVD!

@MsDarkstar8 Unfortunately, it’s not. There is no accurate way to estimate or calculate calories burned for non-cardio activities (unless you have access to a high-tech research lab like a university might have). Sorry!
