It's very basic but that's what I needed. I've been very sedentary for quite a while and I used this to get used to moving more. I felt it was great for that.

Decent program but sadly this is only the 14 day build up phase of the program. It should be followed by the full program or some other similar program.

Eh. It’s just a 2 week primer so I guess it’s good in that sense but what it’s priming for idk.

It's been years since I did any strength training, and this primer was great for reminding my body how to move. I plan to go through it again now that I'm done.
