I don't know if this is a VF-er but this YouTube channel might help anyone on the fence. She's going through the program and posting videos of her doing the workouts. Here's her Day 1 post, and she has Day 2 and Day 3 on her channel as well: https://youtu.be/uCfXEt3Ehy4

Hello, I haven't posted here in forever, but I'm coming out of "lurkdom" to say Hi and that this thread has convinced me to purchase Jessica's new program, so thank you for posting your reviews!
I fell off the exercise wagon this past year, so I wasn't sure if I should buy this program as I know it will probably kick my butt! And I'm also about to turn 49, so I need to slowly get back to working out so I don't injure myself yet again. Ugh... It stinks how easily you can injure yourself in your late 40's if you start back too quickly! I'm hoping the slower pace of these workouts will help keep me from getting injured. Anyway, I think I might first start with some of Jessica's easier programs I own before I jump into this new program, but I wanted to go ahead and purchase it now in case the price goes up later, as it usually does. However, I am tempted to go ahead and try some of the easier Lift & Shift workouts but with heavy modifications at first. I'll definitely need to take it slowly. One quick question for those of you that have done several workouts already... how much floorwork is there in these workouts? It's not that I can't do floorwork, I just don't like it. LOL. I'm hoping these workouts aren't overkill on the floorwork. Thanks again for the enablement!

I think it's interesting that the program isn't on her jessicasmithtv.com page and she didn't post it to FB or Instagram until yesterday. She's been relying on her email list and word of mouth. Since she's responding to every post on the check-in, she may have wanted to keep the initial launch smaller.

I've read that stretching after a workout invites injury because your muscles are warmed up and loose, and endorphins are flowing, so it's easy to overstretch. I'm going to avoid stretching after these workouts and see if I'm less sore. If I have greater strength gains too that would be awesome.

I did the first workout and I liked it. I look forward to doing this one again and trying others.
I like that Jessica is by herself. She's easier to see and she can give more form pointers instead of checking on her backgrounders. The picture quality was great and the I love the set decor. I liked the music, but it was too quiet relative to her voice for me. I'll have to fiddle with the sound bar like kimf suggested. The fact that it's considered 'advanced' makes me very comfortable modifying down. I don't feel that way with her other sets. She didn't overdo shoulders and had back extension exercises which are big plusses for me.
