Week 1: Build Your Base

Welcome to week 1 of The Build Back. Your first week is all about finding the right starting point—challenging yet sustainable. Exercise progressions will be provided each week, so there will be lots of room to grow in this program. These workouts are not meant to leave you feeling completely gassed. Goals this week include completing all 3 strength workouts, finding ways to stay active outside the program (such as walking, running, cycling, or hiking), building confidence in the gym, and dialing in your form to set the foundation for progressive overload.

1Full Body: Classic Strength
Build up and hone in on your strength base with intentional compound lifts like deadlifts, split squats, and incline chest presses. Working both bilateral and unilateral strength for your full body.

2Full Body: Power & Plyometrics
This session blends explosive strength with approachable and progressive plyometric drills and power-focused lifts. You’ll work through squat variations and jump progressions. All designed to train your nervous system, and skill level, not just your muscles.
