This program features 4 weeks of 3 workouts each week exposing you to some of the more fundamental modes of resistance training to establish a foundation of fitness. By completing this program you are taking the first step to establishing a fitness routine and optimizing your health and quality of life.
You will notice that there are "Rest and Recovery" sessions in between each structured workout. This is to encourage you to do something active whether it be walking (the dog if you have one), yard work, a bike ride (with others), yoga, or anything that will get your body up and moving. These are important and will contribute to your long term success while also developing an active lifestyle.
