What should I do if I miss a workout?

Don't beat yourself up, we are all human! Missing a workout is not terrible, juts try to make up that session within the week if you can. Remember, you are asked to do two sessions per week of non-consecutive days. If you miss a workout, just let your health coach know.

What if something hurts, or I experience swelling?

Safety is our first priority. You will know your body better than we do, we want you to grow and progress without injury. The best rule is to listen to your body, and if it hurts then stop. You are always welcome to consult your physician (and are recommended to do so!) with pain and new swelling. When in doubt, talk to your physician.

What if I am traveling for vacation?

Good for you - enjoy your vacation! If you are able to, try to bring your bands with you to complete your twice-weekly sessions while on vacation. Depending on the length, you can always do your workouts before or after your vacation too.

Who should I contact with questions?

You should contact Andrea Babcock, your study coordinator at [email protected], or by phone at (319) 335-2218. You can always contact the study Principal Investigator, Dr. Jessica Gorzelitz, at [email protected]

What should I do with my paper logs?

You have enough logs in your participant binder to last throughout the length of this program. If you chose to use the paper logs, you should keep all completed logs safe in your binder and bring them with you to your final study visit where the study team will collect them.

What if I want to workout more days per week?

Good for you! You are being asked to do two sessions of this program per week, and you can do up to four sessions per week, as we ask that you take at least one day of rest between sessions (aka non-consecutive days of training). This is meant to maximize improvements and minimize risk of injury.

Can I workout with another person?

This program is tailored for you, and the equipment is meant to be used for adults only. While it is not discouraged to have a friend/partner join in, please note that this program was designed for individuals like you and may not be appropriate for all individuals and that others may need to consult a health care or fitness professional before beginning exercise.
