Power Happens 2.0 Beginner

Suitable for: Home or Gym

This plan builds directly on Beginner 1.0, introducing new overload methods as the loading continues to advance. Most women come here after completing the 1.0 plan. Women with a solid beginner foundation in strength training from outside the series also train here effectively.

Four 3-week programs work through trisets, antagonist and agonist supersets, and pyramid training. Each method adds a distinct layer of demand to the body. Rep ranges continue to shift and loading builds, so by the final program you are training in a way that directly prepares your body for Intermediate 1.0. Three full body strength days per week, two cardio sessions, and an optional core and mobility day each week.

• 12 weeks | 4 programs, 3 weeks each


• 5 days/week: 3 Strength + 2 Cardio + 1 Optional Core & Mobility


• Workout length: 60 min | 30-40 min alternate available


• Equipment: Swiss ball, dumbbells or kettlebells, long and short resistance bands (bench recommended, not required)

As with any exercise program, you should have clearance from your medical provider before starting. This is especially important if you have low bone density or any medical condition that may affect the safety of these exercises.
