Stemming from the popularity of the original "Sex & Zombies" program, the 3-day version offers a simpler & more streamlined approach to elite fitness. Like the original S&Z program, I incorporate a unique blend of exercises. However, this program is built for people who have limited time and equipment. Whether you're newer to training or simply don't have a lot of time to commit right now, this program is a great option for you to get as fit as possible in about 2-3 hours per week (3 x 45-60 minute sessions on average). This can also be a great fit for athletes managing another sport (like distance runners) who don't want training to become a full time job.

You will need access to a basic home gym set-up (barbell, DBs, adjustable bench, some resistance bands).

Minimum Effective Dose
For the busy athlete who needs to maximize their efficiency, These workouts are designed to be completed in 45-60 minutes (including warm-up). Yes, this means every set needs to count - be prepared to work HARD to make the most of every set.

Full Spectrum Fitness
Bend, twist, jump, sprint, etc - there's so many different things we *should* be able to do, it can be overwhelming trying to include EVERYTHING into a time efficient program. This is where I come in. I have thoughtfully programmed the minimum effective dose of everything that I think is important - with just a few short workouts per week, I still make sure you're getting to it all!
