I made modifications to convert machine exercises to dumbbells. I would recommend this to friends who like me, might need guidance on a health focused routine. I believe this routine was well rounded.

This is my first program (and really my first gym workout experience) and I have really liked it! It has increased my confidence in the gym by tenfold! I feel stronger and more capable.

Amazing way to get started in the gym and exercise in general. Informative instructional videos. New stuff to stay engaged + enough repeated exercises to see your progress. Will probably do it again! Plus the included warm ups are super intentional and make me feel safe that I won’t injure myself. I never had any arm muscle definition and now I do! I’m also so much stronger than I’ve ever been.

I have a home gym and don't have all the equipment like in a traditional gym, so the modifications I made were to account for those and adjust the weights/reps based on my limits. I also recently hurt my back, and after a few months of PT, I decided to give this program a shot to continue to strengthen myself. I am mostly happy with the program, although I wish the gains were more apparent.

Not been able to go to the gym for over two years due to my health condition as led me to a stealth of tightness and muscle de-conditioning since . Into the 2nd/ 3rd week of this exercise plan, I have began to notice that my hips, back and neck does not feel as tight as before, and my gait is getting better and I have noticed not much impaired mobility over the past week or so. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to get back to fitness again. This training plan is designed to teach you the fundamental principles of lifting in true correct form, and the fact it incorporates mobility and stretching exercises is an added bonus. Many thanks S

Bel entraînement pour un papa d'une petite fille qui court partout. Je me sens beaucoup plus athlétique qu'au départ. Je suis bien heureux d'avoir essayé autre chose que le barbell. Je vais très certainement terminer l'entraînement.
