If you’re already in “The Atlas Zone” then you know I’m AGAINST high-impact, high-risk, hardcore workouts and exercise programs.
And if you’re new here… then here’s my professional, time-tested opinion:
Those types of workout methods are unrealistic for most people and they are simply unnecessary for achieving balanced levels of health, strength and vibrant wellness with a focus on longevity, especially as we approach middle-age and beyond…
Unfortunately there’s a never-ending flow of mass-media “gurus”, social media “experts” and mass-market information pushing the message of “high intensity” “short but fast”, “harder workouts are better”, blah, blah, blah… Everybody sounds the same..
Truth is – none of that nonsense is true for “regular” people like me and you. People with busy lives, who are not interested in “going beast mode”, not looking to “kill it bro” and not in agreement with the silly notion that “real women lift heavy weight”…
Who comes up with those sayings??!! lolz…
Anyway, I’m here to share my truth, garnered from a lifetime (48 years as of the time of writing this post) of education, experience, questioning, introspecting and creating.
That truth is focused on a unique approach to “focused intensity”, low-impact, low risk and HIGH RESULTS exercise programs for “the rest of us”…
Today I share a PERFECT example in the form of one of our very first SCULPTAFIT Home-Gym Personal Training videos:
In this LIIT Lower Body Training Session I take Coach Kimberly through a 7-exercise sequence (see list below). I had planned 8 exercises for this one – but I bloopered when I sent Kimberly for a water break and skipped right over exercise #6, lol…
SIDE NOTE: Coach Kimberly has an inspiring personal success story that we’ll be sharing in an interview with her in one of my next podcasts. (You won’t believe your eyes when you see her “before” photos)
Nonetheless, she was “WORKING” by the time we finished this session, and we get to use the ‘missing move’ in the next Intermediate Lower Body Session (#2) 🙂
Here are the 7 low-impact, synergistic exercises in the order that we went through them:
1 – Slow Step Down
2 – One-Legged Hip Extension with SCULPTAMAT and Platform Step
3 – Double Calf Raises with Straight Knee
4 – Side-Lying Leg Left with Top Leg Out Front
5 – Low Side Step Shuffle with Band
6 – Balancing Touch-Down with AV Handle
7 – Partial Pistol Squat with AV Handles
To give you some context, that LIIT Lower-Body Workout is one of many different types of fitness training sessions that will be produced for the Private Video-On-Demand “SCULPTAFIT Club” Personal Training Portal
I’m sharing a few early example sessions here on the blog to give you a clear idea of how we will be guiding people at home who have their own SCULPTAFIT Home-Gym & Family Fitness System

Hey Joey,
Looks like a great workout. I recognize several of the exercises from your Leg, Butt, Hip, Thigh program. I was doing that DVD twice a week with 12 reps per exercise. It got to be too much. Was wondering if, while I wait for my Sculptafit gym to be delivered, I dropped down to twice a week with 8 reps per exercise it would be “as effective?” I tend to always push myself to the max and end up with a bit of an injury or coping with some pain. At 60, I am trying to work smarter not harder to injury. thanks. So excited to get my Sculptafit
gym!!!

Hi Kathy – YESSSSSSSssss… lol.. if you listen to my instruction in the DVDs – I mention “do what you can – DO NOT force yourself to do more…. take a progressive approach and mindset, etc..”
So, yes – a great idea to “get in gear” with the DVDs while you await the arrival of your SCULPTAFIT Home-Gym System 🙂
BEST
