I recently started week 5 and realized it's too advanced. Should I go back to the first 4 weeks- and for how long? Should I always take a recovery week after 3 weeks of active workouts?

I'm thinking I might need to do each segment 4-6 weeks before taking a recovery week and moving on.

What do you recommend?

Heather,

I recommend sticking with the first phase for 6 weeks and try again after 6 weeks to see if you are ready to move on. Also, the recovery weeks are very important for results. Recovery weeks can be more cardio, light core work/ light workouts pilates, and yoga. You can do the videos or you can choose to find something that would be similar.

Thank you! I appreciate your feedback.
