Common Questions from New Members
Should I follow a program or choose individual workouts?
Either approach works! Programs provide structure and progression. Individual workouts offer flexibility. Try both and see what you prefer.
How many days per week should I work out?
Start with 3-4 days per week and adjust based on how you feel. Consistency is more important than frequency.
Do I need to follow the meal plans?
Meal plans are optional. Use them for inspiration, full meal planning, or ignore them entirely—whatever works for your lifestyle.
What if I can't complete a workout?
That's completely okay! Modify exercises, take breaks, or stop when needed. Every workout is progress, even if you don't finish.
