Hi Nicole and team, I know you are calling the band above your knees “circle”, but is there a specific name for it? It seems to be made out of some type of fabric with very little if any stretch, and I have no clue where to buy one. I have elastic bands in different colors/strength. Can I use them to do this exercise or am I better off buy the one you are using in the video? Thanks, Rose
I refuse to use a barbell because it compresses my spine and I hurt for weeks even when using the Smith Machine and relatively light weights. Can I do goblet squats instead? Or, squats using a kettlebell? What do you suggest?
Hi, I’ve found I can’t eat the oats or oatmeal. I’m learning I’m gluten intolerant. I’m using the exchange list to help navigate me through this. I am sticking to the program other than the oats. My reaction this time was severe, I gained 6 pounds in a week and after cutting oats out my throat isn’t swollen and my ear is not bothering me now. Is there anything else I can use to help with food exchanges?
Hi Katina, Are you unsure of how to use the food exchange list? Under the NUTRITION tab you will see a video titled ‘How To Use The Food Exchange List’ Did you get a chance to watch that?

Goblet squats or leg press are fine alternatives.
Hi!
Where about son the legs should I have this? Just above the knees or a little higher on my thighs?
Thanks
Just above the knees
Ok thank you!
I’m doing the leg press instead of the hip circle squat. Do I still wear the booty band?
Yes I would recommend it
Thank you!
Hey, I have an bulged disc on L5 S1 and everytime I use the bb I feel a lot pain. Can I just use dumbbells?
Have you ever filmed yourself to check your form? If you cannot do the barbell, then use the dumbbells.
