About Strength Program 102

This is an intermediate strength program that builds on from program 101. However, if you feel like you already have a great baseline of strength training - this is a great place to start!

TOP 4 TAKEAWAYS 


🔑 build full body strength that supports your physical and mental health
🤸‍♂️ gain confidence going to the gym and/or using heavier weights

📋 create a balance movement routine
✨ have fun

My goal for this program is to help you and your body build physical and mental strength at a pace that works best for you and your body using progressive overload strategies. After completing this program (or multiple) you will have gained more confidence around using dumbbells, and going to the gym. All while creating a newfound appreciation for all of the things your body can do for you.

EQUIPMENT NEEDED


Dumbbells and an elevated surface (workout bench). I will provide exercise or equipment alternatives in case you don’t have access to a workout bench.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

✅ a 4-week progressive overload gym guide

✅ 3 follow-along, at-home strength workouts 30-40min each

✅ demos for all exercises within the program

✅ 1 follow along mobility sequence

WHY STRENGTH TRAIN?

1. To build strength for life, longevity, and to support your favourite Fun Moves
2. Reduce stress, improve your mood, and sleep better
3. For healthy: joints, bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscles
4. To build confidence

HOW TO GET STARTED:

1. Read through the “Everything You Need To Know” PDF
. Download or print the follow-along workout guides and get started with workout #1
3. Track your weights used throughout the program by using the provided weight log (or start your own in the notes app on your phone)
