I really like your exercise program. I know that the program changes every week and I like the variety you bring knowing that the proposed exercises can work the whole body.
Since I started (3 months) my fatigue has decreased considerably especially when I wake up: before I got up in the morning as tired as the evening even after a good night's sleep and now I do not feel so "burned" . I see the improvements even if it is the technique of small steps and it encourages me a lot. I have been to a physiotherapy clinic twice a month for 4 months and I gave up because there was no result but mostly because I felt that we had "gone around the question" with me ... Your way is really effective. As a bonus I learn more and more to understand English which makes my brain work which is very good :) - Carole From Quebec!
