Frequently asked questions

Can I do this at home? What equipment do I need?
Yes, you can do this at home. You need a few sets of dumbbells (light, medium, heavy). Resistance band.
What are the goals of this program?
* Increase overall lean muscle mass * Get lean and burn fat * Build core strength * Build consistency * Cardio Fitness * Overall strength
I'm in the middle of a running program, is this okay to start?
While this program can fit into most running plans, I don't know where you are in your running specifically. I'd say, If you are in the final weeks before racing, then start AFTER your race. If you are just starting your training plan or at least 10 weeks out from race day, then test out TWO workouts (instead of 3) a week to see how you feel. On your run workout days (tempo, threshold, intervals, long run etc) I suggest doing the Brick Builder workouts AFTER your run on that same day. The next day should be a recovery day. I have THREE different levels for each workout, so do the Beginner level for the first workouts and see how you feel; if you recover well and it doesn't feel like you're legs are made of cement, then continue the program.
I'm not a runner or an endurance athlete, can I do this program?
100% Yes. This is a 3- day program so if you're doing Yoga/Pilates or swimming on the other days, you'll love how this compliments your program. Again, this is also a great stand alone program for anyone easing back into fitness or anyone looking to add strength training into their week without the sometimes overcomplicated routines. The equipment and exercises are straight forward and I demonstrate every movement.
Do you have a longer program?
These 12 workouts are WONDERFUL to build upon. Although it's a 4 week program, you can repeat as many times as you like and you can progress with the program by trying the advanced levels. Additionally, you can always experiment with heavier weights and more sets.
