If your muscles are in a constant state of breakdown then this would cause increased muscle weakness. Sometimes we may need more time between workouts to allow our muscles to rebuild and catch up. Try using program P08 every other day for another week. If you see improvement then go another week of every other day before switching back to daily. By then your muscles should be strong enough to handle that much work. Exercise breaks muscle fibers and rest rebuilds them stronger in anticipation of this occurring again. Rest may actually be more important than work when starting out. If you are starting out with very weak muscles then you will need more time to build strength. Like going to the gym, you start with the 5 pound weights and work your way up over time to stronger weights. The pelvic floor is made up of very thin muscles, and they are under constant strain holding up your organs. Added weight and age are major contributors to the progress you will make over time. Another great way to increase the effectiveness of your workouts is to lie down with your hips as elevated as you are comfortable going, as long as this does not fold your stomach. The point of raising your hips is to allow the organs to fall back into the abdominal cavity, reducing stress on the pelvic floor and allowing your exercise to work the muscles without resistance.
Are you saying I should not be using this every day twice a day? I am new to this. Right now I have been using it morning and night on P03 because that's what I was told to do by one of the reps at Amazon when I sent a message. I have it all the way up at 90. What should be my starting point? I tried all and find P03 feels the best but I must turn it all the way up. should I be resting in between days? I will try elevating my hips also.
If you are seeing an increase in symptoms then it is likely that your body is not ready for this much work. If you are using twice a day, then drop to once a day for a week and see how that affects your symptoms. If they have not returned to what you were experiencing before and you are still seeing an increase then drop back to once every other day for a week or two. Then begin increasing again to every day and then twice a day. P03 is the strongest pre-set toning program and 90 is a very intense setting. You definitely want to work that hard to increase muscle tone, but your body is telling you that it can't keep up right now. Scale back and let your body catch up before increasing the work. Once a day on P03 at 90 or once every other day will be good as you follow the recommendation above.
Thank you for this advise as I am new to this and am trying for follow everyone's suggestions. I will cut it back and hopefully I will have some results.
