3. What are the specific benefits claimed for using this program?

5. Is it a structured program with guidance on how many hours per week and days per week to use it?

6. Do the exercises vary and teach me something new?

8. Does the program fit my personal goals?
9. Does the program fit my lifestyle?
10. Am I ready and willing to do the program, or would it be too stressful?
