I am really excited to use these exercises to help me to lose weight. Better yet I needed this to help me keep the weight off after it is gone. I am 61 years old and will be having my 62nd birthday in a few weeks. I have been trying to lose weight for years and have had good results with several diets. My biggest problem is keeping it off when the diet part of the plan is over. I would lose the weight and end up gaining it all back and more to boot. For the first time in 40 years I have something that gives me the hope of being able to keep the weight off when I reach my goal. Over the years I have gained and lost more weight than most people weigh. Now I’m to the point where I need to lose over 200 lbs. (yes I said over 200 lbs.). I had more or less lost any hope of getting to goal and keeping it off until now. For that all I can say is thank you. My only regret is that I didn’t find something like your program 40 years ago. Crash dieting and using every fad diet in the book has my metabolism in a total mess. For the first time in more than 20 years my back pain is under control and I’m sure as I lose more weight and the strength in my back muscles increases the pain will lessen even more than it already has. Unfortunately I don’t know how much weight I have lost so far as my home scales will not weigh me yet, all I do know is that my back hurts less and my cloths are getting lose. For that all I can say is Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Finally – An exercise video with people who look like me instead of models!

love it… great job! thanks

Thanks for the weightloss info Dr. Kareem.

I love this workout! Thank you for sharing it. I will use it often!

you’re welcome, Maria!

Glad you enjoyed it! More great fun workout to come

you’re welcome, Jarrod

Feel free to post any questions/comments you have up here… or answer other people’s questions.

I’d love to start a great workout conversation up here – more to come very soon…

hehe – yeah, KBJ, that was the idea. I really wanted to make the DEFL DVDs real and inspiring. Real workouts take effort, and overcoming obstacles, work-arounds, etc.

Anyway, thanks for noticing and commenting – I really appreciate you.

hey Neala,

It’s really nice to meet you, and I’m proud of you.

Thanks for connecting. …and thank you for your enthusiasm and appreciation for my efforts towards helping you. I AM here for you… and I plan to see you through this.

First off – just worry about getting the exercise portion down right now… stay focused and committed, while you work on mindset and slowly wean in nutritional goals and habits. In the beginning, it’s not about the weight – it’s about the habit.

Weight will go… balance your body, and get real with yourself.

You can and will do this – you just have to decide.

Wishing you the best,

Kareem

you’re welcome, Angela

glad you enjoyed it – have an awesome day,

I feel the same way!!

All your workouts are great but do you have any print outs of each work out so I can take with me anywhere.
I do not always have access to computer
A print out would be wonderful
thank you

What type of shoe is best for workouts? I rent a room and floors are tile. What is your recommendation on the length of time per day of exercise? 10 minutes -15-30 minutes. I just started a week ago and my lower back pain is gone. Thank you for your inspiration and sharing your life with us.
Thank you,
Maggie V

Excellent and the best part is you used people to demonstrate just like us, not thin, lean, gym junkies. Sorry if I offended anyone.
Awsome work out and so glad that you have shared.

THANKS DR K.. I CAN RELATE TO THOSE LADIES.. NOW I REALIZE I MAY BE ABLE TO DO THEM. CAN’T WAIT TILL TOMORROW!

Dr. K: I notice that your toes are up on the bridge adductor squeeze as opposed to having your feet flat on the ground. Is this the correct form for this exercise and, if so, what’s the added benefit?

I need to lose 20 more pounds. So far using the Adkins diet and medication I have lost 70 lbs. I am hoping the exercises will do this for me. I was wondering if you have any information about diets. I try to eat organic and eliminate as much sugar and definately no white bread, white rice, potatoes ( although french fries are my weakness). A baked sweet potatoe once in a while. I eat whole grains like quionia, plenty of salds and veggies. Drink water probably not as much as I should I try for 8 – 10 glasses a day. I walk between 4-8 miles and do zumba (2 1hr sessions). so if you have any ideas I would appreciate it. Thanks Debbie

Hi Dr Kareem. My name is Rose – and I have received so many emails from you that I am now so confused I don’t know where I’m supposed to start and what I’m supposed to be doing. Suggestions for putting this all into order would be welcome!! Thanks a million.

Hi kareem. I have arthritic hips as well as some tummy fat. Any easier suggestions that wont add to my hip problem?

Marg

how can you transfer this to your ipod or something so you can watch the video while at the gym?

Dr. K, you were a genius having this video with Charlene be the first in the series.  I saw what she could do and knew that I too could succeed.  I LOVE the DEFL series and return to it often.  Thank you so much for what you do!

Dr. K what a fabulous website I really like that you have real people doing the exercises. I’m 58 and it makes me feel that I can do it too! I purchased your product through a link on Isabel’s Beyond Diet program. I’m sorry to say I haven’t started on your program yet but I will soon. I tend to research everything before I begin a life changing event.On DSP I have lost 25 lbs and now I want to start strength training so I purchased your plan.Wish me luck!

Dr. K I am totally lost, I have seen all  your videos etc and I try to do what you say but i am totaly lost as what to dofirst.  i am 5′ tall and 50 lbs. overweight.  Please tell me how to get started??

Thanks

I have been in a wheelchair for three years (after having been working out for about 30+ years).  I am now beginning to move again and these workouts are just about ideal for me to start going.  I was looking for workouts I could do safely at home and these help a lot.  I have tried to keep the upper body going while I was confined, but walking was and is a challenge.  So far, so good.  Thanks for the information and the workouts.  I do what I can and my husband is home to watch over me.  I am looking forward to hiking someday again.  Thanks so much!  Susan

I downloaded the program last week and this is the first video session i have been able to view, now I can finally see what I am suppose to be doing. 

thanks

Thanks for putting all these basic exercises in once place

Dr.K,  In lower  trap I get a lot of “clicking”  in the right shoulder.  My right arm was broken just below the shoulder  years ago, could this be the cause of clicking?

hi Rosarie here I find all your e-mails good and your videos very helpful.  I am finding it hard to go to the books I bought can you give me advice as to what book is the best to start with.

I really like the exercises, made me realize how much out of shape I am

nice 

Thank you for really simplifying the way I approach my workouts. You are an inspiration and I am thankful that you have been so generous in sharing the core of your program as I could not afford to purchase the full program. You have built on things I had already been doing and helped me to improve the way I apply this knowledge.
God Bless You in all of your work helping others to achieve their goals…mainly believing that it is possible and doable for everyone at any age or fitness level <3

I just completed the fat loss acceleration workout. I’m amazed I could even do it! I feel great… and am definitely out of shape. I can’t wait to do it again!!

Bevie, I too got to this site through Isabel; between the two we will get into Great shape!! Best of luck to you.

These videos are excellent.  I am still working on the ’5-day Fat Loss Accelerator Mini Circuit and the HP Mini Spiker Set.  I have been so excited my husband has now joined in also and he is just as excited.  We are just finishing up on the 2-week diet.  We both can’t believe how much more energy we have and how good we feel.  I have lost 8 lbs so far and he has lost 9 lbs but more importantly, we fee good and feel our stomachs and whole body firming up….can’t believe this.  Have to admit I was very skeptical when I first began reading about Diet Solution…there are so many scams on the internet…I was very nervous.  But I am becoming more confident and trusting as I am having such good results and coming to realize throughout my experience with this whole program that I can trust Dr. Isobel and Dr. Kareen.  I just cannot believe the wonderful knowledge they both have and how it really is possible  for any age (myself being 63) to actually get such fast results from such simple exercises and simply eating healthy.  I must stress myself and my husband have never experienced losing weight and never being hungry.  We both love this whole program.  We have been very slow introducing ourselves into the program, getting familiar with the organic foods and into the exercise but we intend to keep with it.  We don’t consider this a ‘diet’ at all…it truly is a change in lifestyle.

What type of weight is required to do these exercises? 

are these exercises for any weight? even if a person is quite a lot over weight?

Hi Dr. K!

I have enjoyed your teaching but this new site is excellent.  What I love about is that two middle aged women are showing us your exercises.  That inspires a lot of people out there becuase it did to me! 

OH MY GOLLY! Thank you  Thank you  for demonstrating with real people like those of us out here, that don’t look like Charles
Atlas. this really  inspired me to get to 10 reps  because if they can I have no excuses

best regards R.D. VANCOUVER  B.C

ps your teaching is par exellent!!!

Can you please add more work outs to this website? I love going to one place to find them.
Thank you, Tammy K.
