This is your entry point to barbell training, for women who are ready to start lifting but want to learn the movements properly before adding heavy load. Learn to Lift is a phenomenal 12-week course that takes you from bodyweight work to the barbell, with detailed video instruction on every lift, including the common errors to watch for. You leave with the knowledge you need to train confidently in any gym.
Four 3-week programs progress the loading and the technical demands, with each program introducing new movement patterns and refining the ones you have already learned. By week 12 you are not only lifting heavier, you understand why each lift is built the way it is.
Three full body strength sessions per week, with home equipment alternatives provided so the plan still works if you do not yet have full gym access.
This is the plan women come to when they want to walk into a lifting gym and know what they are doing. It is training that teaches, not training that tests.
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.
