User UN-friendly, Hyper-Roboticized, Overcontrolling Interface
The exercises in Elements and Resilience are helpful for sure, but the progressions of them are uneven. The format (e.g., one movement for 5 minutes?!) is tedious yet also disorganized (there are no session numbers, no TOC or index, so you can't tell if you're progressing in any order). And the interface is glitchy (repeated black screens as the audio continues), clunky, hyper-roboticized, over-controlling and distinctly user-UNFRIENDLY, which detracts from my enjoyment and the programs' benefits. You control very little. For example, you can't pause a video because you have to take a call or go to the bathroom, and you can't rewind to see a piece again, or fast-forward when the instructions or exercises drag on. Then there's the intrusive quiz (that you can't skip) after every session: How do you feel? You have to pick an emoticon. What was your favorite exercise? What was hardest? Cloying, useless tech gadgetry from which you can't escape.

Hey, seems like something's not working correctly here. You can definitely pause, skip, move forward or back in the tutorials, etc. Please reply to any of our emails so we can help you use the program correctly. It's true that it very explicitly controls your experience so you can follow the instructions without having to worry about things like session numbers or finding anything in an index. Just hit start and follow the instructions. And yes, 100% post-training reflection is required as part of the learning process. I'm happy to explain in more detail anything you need to know.
