00:00:52 - Mickie - What is your opinion of “diet breaks?”

00:24:17 - Pahla - Let’s talk about the difference between things that are problematic and things that are unhelpful. (Sometimes I want to expand on previous questions just a tad!)

00:25:20 - Jennifer - When doing strength training, what kind of schedule would you recommend so that I can keep the muscle I have but not build more? I’m feeling blah about heavy weights.

00:32:26 - Lisa - I’m doing physical therapy for a shoulder issue and am grounded from using a dumbbell for a while, although I’m permitted to still exercise. What can I do for a push day for body shaping?

00:37:48 - Jacqui - What’s your best advice for stress eating?

00:51:53 - Daniela - I’m new to balance exercises. Is there a video you can recommend for beginners?

00:54:46 - Janet (referring to a question by Suzanne) - Last week, Suzanne mentioned that she was finding it hard to do your leg exercises because of some medical conditions. You asked her: “What if your medical conditions were actually your superpower?” How can you flip a thought like this to be believable?

01:05:27 - Melissa - When working out and you get lactic acid buildup (feeling “the burn”), should you rest only, or stretch and then resume exercising?
