Does it matter which workouts I choose? Will that affect my results? Each workout is unique and tailored for all ability levels. They are meant to add diversity, spontaneity and a little bit of fun to mix up your current routine. You may choose them at random, or pick 3 that align with your goals (ex: kickboxing for endurance and TABATA abs for core strength) and repeat them for a couple weeks before choosing new ones. Treat this collection like a mix and match!
How many workouts should I do per week? It depends on your goals, schedule and fitness level. For new exercisers, starting with a 3x/week frequency is highly recommended for the first 2-4 weeks to build a foundation and create a habit of exercise. For experienced or more active individuals, 4-5 workouts plus some steady state cardio may be the way to go. For those craving a progressive program, try our 4 Week at Home Strength Program.
Do these workouts require special equipment? Not necessarily, our top trainers designed these plans specifically for those with limited resources or access. Having some dumbbells, kettlebells and/or bands certainly doesn't hurt; but in reality they are not essential. In each workout our coaches describe creative equipment alternatives you can find around the home or office. The key is simplicity.
What are the difficulty levels of these workouts? This collection is packed full of options; from 10 minute muscle-specific challenges, to 45 minute full-body workouts. Some options make great add-ons for your current routine, or you can do them on your own in a time-pinch. The difficulty level is scaled to the participant, we incorporate a lot of reps for time intervals so trainees may perform at a pace that is suitably challenging. As long as you're sweating and need to catch your breath by the end, you're doing great!
