Suitable for: Home+ or Gym / TRX Required
This plan follows Intermediate 1.0 and raises the technical complexity of the training. It is for women who are confident under heavier loads and ready for overload methods that ask more of their focus and capacity. Most women come here after completing the first Intermediate plan.
This plan works best when you have a TRX suspension trainer. It is not optional equipment.
Four 3-week programs advance the training through more complex overload techniques, including trisets, paired sets, and progressively descending max strength work. Each method places a distinct demand on the body that requires both physical strength and technical focus. By the end of the plan, the capacity and control you have built will position you well for Advanced 1.0. Three full body strength days per week, two cardio sessions, and an optional core and mobility day.
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.
Over 20 years of fitness experience, now devoted to helping women in their 40s and beyond experience the benefits of strength training.
