Exercises can be challenging and make you tired, but they should not hurt in any way. If there is an exercise you do not like on the video, please modify by either fast forwarding or just do an exercise that you like. For example: 1. If your knees are not happy with a squat, do a quarter squat, half squat, or even a sit-to-stand from a chair. You can also do seated leg extensions instead if squatting is not good for your knees that day. 2. If your shoulders do not like abductions (going out to the side), try front raises, or external shoulder rotations instead. If you have any questions regarding modifications, please reach out.
