FAQs
What resistance/strength training knowledge do I need?
None! This program is perfect for you if you've never touched a weight before. It will teach you how to start incorporating heavier weights into your routine without any fuss or fear! No scary stuff - basic foundations that will serve you in ALL forms of exercise/movement, as well as daily life.
I have a knee/wrist/back/etc issue, is this the right program for me?
You'll want to make sure you're medically cleared for exercise before joining any new movement program. If you’d like more 1:1 feedback to accommodate injuries/restrictions, I offer virtual/IRL “Movement Tune Ups” to help you feel 100% confident in your movement!
What equipment do I need?
2+ kettlebells and/or dumbbells - at minimum 1 medium weight (for upper body) and 1 heavier weight (for lower body). Recommended: Resistance bands, yoga block, foam roller. Feel free to contact me if you have specific questions!
I have specific questions on technique - can I get additional help?
I’m always available in the TrainHeroic chat to answer your questions. For more of a deep dive on your individual movement/technique, I offer 1:1 virtual/live Movement Tune-Ups.
