Thank you the videos. They are very helpful and I love your tips.
Thanks so much, Rose!
do all sets need to be done at once or can they be spread out throughout the day? Will I get the same results if it’s spread out?
Venessa,
It’s best to do all the sets during the one workout…muscle will respond better. However, if you need
or prefer to spread the sets throughout the day, that’s fine.
I have a lot of hanging belly fat (muffin top) I am 46, how many of the exercises can I do to get rid of it faster? Is it possible to have a flat stomach?
Diane, I highly recommend adding HIIT to your normal routine. https://skinnyms.com/?s=HIIT
In addition to HIIT and belly tightening moves, be sure to eat healthy, eliminate white sugar and flour, load up on leafy greens, eat lean protein,
healthy fats, good carbs, and drink lots of water. Most things are possible with commitment and determinate. 🙂
I’ve had a transflap surgery for breast reconstruction from a mastectomy 15 years ago. My lower back is not very strong- kayaking is very painful. Muffin top is above my surgery scar. Will I be able to do these exercises if part of my abdominal muscle is missing from surgery?

Beth, Hmmmm…that’s a question for your doctor. 🙂
Is there a best time of day to do these workouts?
Hi Isabella,
The best time to do these workouts is whenever works best for you! Each day’s routine will take approximately 10 minutes to complete, so you can work it into your own schedule. We don’t recommend performing the workouts immediately after eating, though. Give yourself at least 30-60 minutes. Hope that helps! 🙂
Is there a printable version of the meal plan you have posted above?
Diana, You can copy and paste to a word doc.
When you you say 3 sets of 30, do you mean 30 on each side or 30 total for the set?
