The goal of this program is to build full-body strength, build muscle, improve heart health, and decrease excess fat stores. 

Who is this for:

If you're a beginner looking to get strong and healthy but don't know where to get started then this program might be just for you.

What you'll find:

a. You'll be training the fundamentals here - push, pull, hinge, squats along with Zone 2, HIIT, and some mixed modality work to realize the goals mentioned above.

b. You'll be hitting every major muscle group in service of building total body strength, power and musculature in much lesser time.

c. Exercise progression at a steady pace to help beginners get the hang of the fundamentals.

What you won't find:

a. There are no fancy, influencer-type circus act workouts involved

b. Training for more than an hour at the gym.

c. Spending several sessions training the vanity muscles while leaving other aspects of general strength and fitness behind.

If this seems like a good fit for you and you're ready to get started then go ahead and sign-up for the program.

Scaled exercises & steady progression
The exercises are scaled from the very first week to help you build strength from the ground up at a steady weekly pace and what's more, you will be working every major muscle group in your body in every session but you'll be taking much lesser time.

Conditioning: you can have it both ways
This is a strength and conditioning program, not a strength or conditioning as many schools of thought seem to preach. Moreover, Your conditioning doesn't have to be secondary and it isn't going to interfere with your strength gains provided you get enough sleep and rest between workouts.
benefit-image-3
Get the gains with lesser effort
Full-body training gives the biggest bang for your buck. That's how athletes do it because they don't have much time to spend at the gym when they've got sport training and yet, they're strong, fast, and look good. Why is that? Because they train full-body sessions.
