    *Disclaimer: Unfortunately, the UA-cam algorithm thrives on titles and thumbnails that could be perceived as clickbait. Although I find this particularly distasteful, as a means of reaching a new audience or encouraging my current audience to invest their time into my videos, I must work with the algorithm rather than against it. Statistics have highlighted just how effective aligning titles with the algorithm is and although this can be frustrating for many (myself included), I will always ensure that my titles:
    1. Never promote false promises or unrealistic expectations.
    2. Will more often than not ask a question.
    3. Are worded in a manner that although might be perceived a certain way, are still open to interpretation.
    Appealing to more potential viewers gives me the opportunity to further the spread of what I believe to be useful information surrounding the topic in question, in addition to a positive message which often surrounds mental health, with the goal of helping as many people as possible.
    It should also be noted that the majority of my videos are based on audience suggestions. ~90% of my audience are women, therefore, the majority of videos are created to appeal to my dominant audience.
    It must also be noted that although goals often vary amongst individuals, a lot of my opinions on movements are within the context of building muscle (hypertrophy) and therefore, should be considered with that in mind.
    Thank you for giving me your time.*

    Caroline pretty much answers all of these questions in her Q&A’s. She’s a personal trainer and has been working out for 20 years and she said “anyone that tells you that you can get a specific result or look like them if you do this one workout is lying” that’s why her titles don’t have clickbait, she also says she doesn’t take any supplements. I love her workouts but I do not expect for my body to look just like hers just like no two bodies are the same.

      I started working out with Caroline during the pandemic before that I used to go to the gym twice a week and do very little. Believe it or not my body started to look like Caroline’s now although it is not something liked in my culture but me personally i love it. Consistency makes you achieve and like you said what I like about her workouts is that it is challenging and there are no promises. You follow along for your own benefit

    Oh my god... I'm sorry you have so many scammers harassing you! Yes, thank you for busting the RICE method. Inflammation heals!! I think Caroline was a personal trainer before Covid. Her channel was born out of making workouts for her clients. So she definitely got her results from the gym. However, I'm sure that she maintained her results from her home workouts. Thanks for the recommendation for Aura. Looks good.

    Honestly, I would love to know what you think about my physique considering the majority of my muscle gain (post-ED) was attained working out at home primarily using Caroline's workouts. I actaully haven't been to a gym since the "lockdown," and during the time I was a regular 1-2X daily gym-goer, I pretty much only did cardio machines and HIIT classes. Could I have better gains if I used machines and barbells? Maybe. Is my physique pretty damn good for a home worker-outer? I have been told so... I have people asking for tips (and shocked that I don't belong to a gym).

    I remember asking you about supplements haha. Like most things, I’d say it’s about balance and moderation- if it truly helps meet some needs, like you say with protein powder, then cool! That’s actually true for me, I have protein powder pretty often. But like you said, it is a supplement at the end of the day, not a replacement :)

I have never been so consistent because I really enjoy the workouts. Perhaps I would gain more muscle if I went to a gym - but would I actually go? No

    Her programs from Epic 1 through Epic Endgame, are not a scam.
    When you publish workouts and people say or not say that they achieve results, then you can be a judge.
