FAQs
Who is this for?
This program is ideal for dancers (ages 10+) that have little experience with strength training.
How long do I have access to the workouts?
You get lifetime access to this program after purchase.
Do I have to complete the workouts on the designated days?
The workouts are programmed for Monday and Thursday, but you can move them as needed to accommodate your schedule. That said, I don’t recommend going more than 3 days without completing a workout. Ideally, you should train Monday/Thursday, Tuesday/Friday, Wednesday/Saturday, or Thursday/Sunday.
How long do the workouts take?
Depending on how slowly you go, each session should take between 35-60 minutes to complete.
