Strength Practice I is a 6-week beginner strength program focused on foundational movement and intentional progress.
Over the next six weeks, you’ll practice foundational strength patterns with clear structure, manageable effort, and simple progressions. The goal is to build familiarity, coordination, and confidence so strength training feels approachable and repeatable.
This program is designed by Morgan Munoz, physical therapist, and emphasizes movement quality, steady progress, and long-term resilience.
