Being a Mom or Dad is basically a 24/7 workout.
Want to get your body ready for it?
What does a workout program made for parents include?
✅ Flexible workout schedule so you won’t be a slave to the gym. 3 workouts/week, ~45 minutes/workout.
✅ Optimized exercise selection that is relevant to your strength needs as a parent. Multiple variations per exercise to help match your equipment as well!
✅ Like-minded community of other parents, so you can give AND receive encouragement, help, and feedback.
✅ Progression, progression, progression, because your body will adapt as you get stronger. Every 5 weeks your program will be updated with an overview of what changed, why it changed, and how you can continue making progress.
✅ Personalized help and attention to save you from frustrating Google and YouTube searches. You can ask me anything about your training and get personalized recommendations – plus you’ll find help by hearing what other members are asking too!
