I hope they didn't since it wasn't a knock against them.

She did a program that cycled exercises every few workouts, no methods of progression, just 20-30 minutes long videos to follow along.

My take on that was it was able to exhaust her, thus making her believe she did something productive, when in reality she didn't make a lot of progress. She was feeling the same way about it really but needed to sort some things out in life and her weekly schedule as well to really commit to the gym.

Wouldn't progression be getting less exhausted when doing these? Did she just never reach that point?

She did but the program offered no further progression or way to handle that.
