Strongest You is designed to help you build lasting strength, move better, and feel confident in your body. The program includes 4 strength training days and 1 dedicated mobility day, with sessions around 60 minutes—challenging but manageable. It’s built for gym use with machines and free weights, giving you everything you need to progress safely and effectively.
The program starts with an emphasis in mobility, stability, and foundational strength to prepare your body for heavier lifts and more advanced movements. Early weeks focus on building a strong core, solid movement patterns, and proper technique. You’ll learn to move intentionally and progressively overload safely, whether that means adding weight, reps, or improving range of motion.
Later weeks introduce barbell lifts, compound movements, endurance work, and smart intensity using the RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) scale so you can train effectively without burning out. Every session is purposeful and designed to help you move better, lift stronger, and build confidence at a pace that works for your body and your life.
What to Expect and What's Included: The Strongest You DIY Training Program is a comprehensive package designed to support you at every stage of your strength journey, helping you build lasting strength, improve movement, and gain confidence in your body.
Four Strength Workouts per Week: The program includes structured exercises designed to build strength intentionally and effectively. It’s built for gym use with machines and free weights, giving you everything you need to progress and train confidently.
Video Movement Tutorials: Visual guides to ensure proper form and technique, reducing the risk of injury and maximizing effectiveness.
