This program is a 4 Week- 3 day a week program that focuses on moving your body weight for your workouts. The focus of this program is to get in tune with the way your body moves, recovers, and preforms with only using your own body weight as a measure. This is a perfect program to use while working out at home, on your lunch break at work, on lock downs, recovering from an injury, supplementing for active recovery days, and much more. Make sure to focus on how your body is performing each day in these workouts. If your body isn’t allowing full range of motion or flexibility in the movements suggested, please scale the movements accordingly to what your body will allow. Your body will thank you for it later. Enjoy the program!
