FAQs

Is this program suitable for complete beginners?

Ideally, participants should have a basic grasp of kettlebell and calisthenics exercises. However, with modifications provided, even novices can find a comfortable start and gradually progress.

Do I need any equipment besides kettlebells?

Primarily, kettlebells and your own body weight are utilized. However, having resistance bands and a sturdy bar for pull-ups can enhance your experience.

How intensive are the 'Hell Weeks'?

Hell Weeks are crafted to challenge you beyond regular workouts. While more demanding, they are pivotal in gauging your progress and pushing boundaries.

Can I incorporate other workouts while following this?

Given the intensity, it's recommended to follow this program exclusively. If you wish to add other routines, ensure they don't impede your recovery.

Are there nutritional guidelines included?

While this program emphasizes workouts, nutrition plays a crucial role. Pairing with a balanced diet enhances results, though specific guidelines aren't provided.

What if I miss a day or two due to unforeseen circumstances?

Life happens. If you miss a session, resume where you left off. Consistency is key, but flexibility ensures sustainability.
