I created this program to share some of my favorite training sessions with those who have been following me through my transformation journey for years. Fitness has become a cornerstone not just for my physical health but for my mental health as well. That's why I named this program Therapy Sessions. Working out has grounded me on my sad days, my mad days, and even my happy days. It's a form of therapy for me, and I hope you can find solace in your workouts as well!
Start off slow and continue to work your way up toward weight... the lower the reps the heavier the weight. Please take before and after pics. After you get through the four weeks of training just start all over with day one! You got this! I believe in each and every one of you.
