Question:

I am looking for some advice now. I just received the week 7 email to let you know when I first got started. I actually began by trying "fast and functional abs" about 9 weeks ago. Little history here, I am a quadruple coronary bypass patient, my surgery was on Nov 23rd 2010. It was a total success, they also did not identify any damage despite a 98% blockage. I went immediately after into a regimen of walking and diet. I lost 30 pounds and was down to 220 pounds and still hold that weight today. I still walk up to an hour at a time for cardio and do some elliptical also.

I started with the "fast and functional abs" (f&f abs) and really felt great other than a nagging left shoulder problem that had existed since the surgery was holding me back. I ceased the weights and f&f abs for the last month and was doing some stretching in hopes of letting the shoulder rest and heal. Did not respond to this so now I have had an injection of steroids into the shoulder as it appears to just be bursitis and no damage they can see. They tell me in a few days can start back with upper body exercise.

My questions are:

1. I often do not have both morning and evening to exercise, so when I do f&f abs can I do my cardio before or after?
2. Can additional exercises as you send out in your weekly emails be done immediately before or after f&f abs? If so which one before or after? I have time for a rest period in the evenings it just that some mornings I have no extra time at all.
3. Any other advice?
