Tired of jumping from program to program and not seeing the results you want?
Look no further!
I've created this ongoing program for those who are looking to get stronger, but also build and shape the body of their dreams, without spending hours in the gym or doing endless exercises.
For years I have been experimenting with different programs and exercises in order to create Strong & Sculped for women (or men) to not only gain strength and feel empowered, but look toned and strong as well.
This program is split up into lower body and upper body training days and is beginner friendly.
We focus on:
• building strength in the main compound lifts (squat, deadlift, hip thrust, & presses)
• building strength for pull-ups, dips, and other body weight exercises (or getting your first unassisted rep!)
• leg days with emphasis on building your glutes
• effective core exercises
• & accessory work to sculpt a well-rounded hourglass physique to have you looking summer ready year-round.
