FAQ:
How can I combine this with other workouts?
Beginners should make this their workout of the day. Advanced trainees can follow this workout with another 20-minute full-body, lower body or core workout on the same day. No matter what training schedule you go with, keep at least 48 hours between high-intensity workouts to stay ahead of the recovery curve. Please be sure to do mostly daily walking and recovery work for best results.
Do I need all of the equipment listed?
To do the entire program in full, yes. But some of the routines use very little equipment or are mostly bodyweight too.
Why do I need to do these as ordered?
This program is engineered with precision to lay the proper fitness foundation for both short & long-term success. This means maximum results with minimum injury risk. But after you complete this plan, you can return to & repeat all of these timeless routines indefinitely in any order you like and still continue to reap benefits.
