Have you ever been prescribed a medicine that just didn’t seem to work?  Did you medical provider have to try out several different medicines to find one that DID treat the condition the medicine was being prescribed for?  And what about this…have you ever felt like something was ‘off’ and so you called your providers office and they couldn’t fit you in to the schedule for another month and in the meantime you wanted to get some answers? And maybe you thought…this is how I felt when my vit D level was really low but you didn’t want to just start taking a bunch of vit D without being sure.

Today I'm asking for your help! We've been tossing around the idea of creating videos on YT that would help women who exercise at home. But the question is this: are you looking for videos to help you navigate home fitness? We think our audience is looking for more than just a workout to do, but we need you to confirm that. Based on our research, you love to learn and are an audience that prioritizes exercise and health but you're very busy with your careers and family. You do have questions about which equipment to buy, which on demand services to try and why, how to make your home exercise routine effective and fun for you. But would you/have you ever used YT to help with any of those things? Would you watch a short video that showed you how to sign of for BODi and what it looks like to have a membership? How about a video that walks you how to create a worout playlist on YT? Where do you find these answers now? What kinds of videos would help you navigate the digital world of home exercise? Please email us with your feedback. Thank you!!

Today we're sharing a bite-sized episode that features a question from our audience! My name is Heidi and I'm a 49-year old long-time home exerciser from Wisconsin. For my 50th bday next year I want to sign up for an obstacle race like a Tough Mudder but I'm a little worried about the training. Do you think I can get in shape from home or do I need to sign up at a gym and get a personal trainer? (I haven't been to a gym in 10 years!) It's really important to me that I feel prepared because my husband and 2 of our kids are on a team and we want to cross the finish line together! Do you have any advice for me?
