This is a program designed for anyone who is newer to working out, is recovering from an injury but needs to safely workout, or anyone who likes to work on mobility and enjoys simplicity in their gym workouts. The workouts are mobility and strength based but does not include barbells or much kettlebell at all, so if someone has some equipment in a home gym, this would be great for them as well.
The workouts all start with warming up on cardio, then several mobility exercises, then movement prep work, then the bigger strength movements. All workouts also include core exercises and stretches at the end.
