This program is for anyone who is new to lifting weights or been away from the gym for awhile and needs guidance to get started.

The goal of this program is to help you build a foundation of strength, mobility, and overall fitness.

You will learn the foundational movements of squatting, hinging, pushing, pulling, and core stability.

The first week is designed to be an introduction week which means minimum soreness, learning the new movements, and just getting comfortable being in the gym.

Features:

2 strength sessions/week with mobility/recovery days

8 weeks of progressive overload to ensure success

Will have access to the program for 12 months.

Simple but Effective
I know that time can be an issue with exercise. That is why this program is designed so that you only have to go to the gym 2 times in the week, with each session lasting about 60 minutes. The exercises are simple, but as you progress and push yourself it will not be easy. During the course of the next 8 weeks you will progress in strength and learn new exercises.
