“I juat finished my 25th session, and i am so happy with my progress! I am moving better (i know when to relax, when to brace, how to distribute weight, how to breathe) and overall i feel "stronger". My nagging joint aches are also significantly less (right shoulder, right wrist and right knee).
However, I miss conventional strength training, and i am looking forward to do more of that after I finish Elements :)
30 min session is my sweet spot. Tried the 15 min session, but I find it too short. I prefer having more time for practice and play.”
“I've been doing the laziest track possible: 15mn of Elements, every once in a while. sometimes 3-4 times a week, but honestly, more like 1-2. and crazy as it is, I see massive progress. I'm not practicing any other sports, (feeling some shame around it), except a bit of jumping on a trampoline. but I am so much stronger, more flexible, and i feel more mobile overal. the exercises that were super hard at first I can now consistently do with good form for the duration of each timer.
I also have no muscle aches afterwards, or barely. which is important in my line of work. so yeah, I'm really impressed.”
“I started with a knee injury and couldn't do just a single kneeling lunge. I started with a 15 minute routine and tried to expand it to 30 minutes but lacked in endurance. In a lot of supporting e-mails Ryan explained that progress will happen even if I just did 3 times 1 minute instead of 8 minutes full exercise. And so I started to do just 1 kneeling lunge till I felt pain. Next time I did 2 lunges a little deeper with less pain. Besides I was positively surprised how much fun exercising can be: especially bear and crab generate a lot more repetitions than just benching or curling without even thinking about it.
Finally after about 2 months my aches in knees and hips are nearly gone - I had never believed that I could be able to stay 2 minutes in a full squat but I actually can. I still have trouble to stay consistent - and want to say a big thank you to Andy and Ryan for giving me a little push every second or third day by sending me e-mails about different topics (that is the perfect addition to the program).”
“I learned about this program through an email from an orthopedic doctor that I follow online regarding fitness. He recommended the program I tried it out and I have been extremely impressed. It has helped me with flexibility and strength and aches and pains in various locations in my 74-year-old body. I am stronger and more fit and definitely have less aches and pains. I love the exercises. I think they are very physiologic and address all parts of the body. I recommend this program wholeheartedly.”
“I'm half way through the program and feel much more flexible and have less pain. When I started I felt really stiff and had pain every time I got up out of bed and from a chair. I'm 48 and felt like an old woman. I really needed a program that progresses slowly instead of randomly doing videos I find on the internet.”
“As an almost 70 yr old with a bad back and overall stiffness, elements as been a huge help for me. I’m now agile getting off the floor, and my back pain is definitely better. I’ve been doing it for less than a month and I look forward to additional improvement. It started out as an accessory to my exercise program, but do the results I’ve now made it a main focus.”
“Elements give you the foundational movements that will lead to handstands, L-sits, etc. The lessons are paced to help you focus on the quality of movement.
If you want that “wow I’m sweaty and exhausted” find some with HIIT or cardio. If you’re worn out and have some nagging injuries but still want to get that pull up, L-sit, handstand, what-have-you … Elements is a terrific springboard.”
