6 Week Foundational Strength

Get started today!

This is a 3 day lifting program that will follow a lower, upper and full body split. You have a lot of flexibility with how you want to schedule this during the week. I do think it’s best to have a rest day before and after you train to allow for proper recovery. Anytime an exercise using a machine or cables are shown, home alternates using dumbbells or resistance bands will be provided. If you need a suggestion for a different alternate, reach out and I’d be happy to provide that for you. Equipment needed for home gym: resistance bands with handles with a door anchor, dumbbells and adjustable bench. You are on your way to becoming the best and strongest version of yourself, you got this! Always rooting for you!

About Won Dolegowski

Online personal trainer

I’m a 53 year old mom, wife and fitness coach. When I was in my 40s, I started experiencing perimenopause changes. I stared at my body wondering what was happening. I knew something had to change. At age 44, I learned how to track macros, started lifting heavy weights following progressive overload lifting program and ditched the endless cardio. I also let go of the self limiting belief that it’s too late and things go downhill in your 40s. I will give you fitness, nutrition and mindset tips to help you age well and feel your best!

How do I know I am lifting heavy enough?
Pick a weight where you can perform the exercise safely and with good form. The last 1-3 reps should feel VERY hard. You may notice the tempo slowing down and you should be noticing you're probably making some faces and sounds! If you get to the end of the set and it feels easy or at least getting easier, you can add more reps or increase the weight. Don't worry what weight other people are using - it's you vs you!
How can I ask you questions?
Message me in the app for any questions you have. I do my best to review all comments and make any recommended changes. I want to see your progress! I would also love to see your progress pictures and videos. Tag me on Instagram and use the hashtag #wondapp or feel free to shoot me a DM on IG. I would love to showcase your progress to our community.
Should I go up in weight or add more reps?
This depends! A lot of times you won't be able to increase weight but you might be able to squeeze out 1 more repetition. Here is one approach: a) Let's say the workout is asking you to do 8-10 repetitions. If you get to the 10th rep, it's time to experiment with going up in weight. If you can do at least 6 repetitions with the new weight, that is totally fine. Stay there and then work on adding more reps until you get to 10 again. Rinse and repeat. b) If you try to go up in weight but this time you can barely get 4 reps, go back down to the previous weight and work on adding more reps until you can do 12 reps. Then it's time to try the heavier weight. This time you probably will be able to do 6 reps. Stay there until you can keep adding more reps. Rinse and repeat!
Do I need to take the rest periods that are listed?
Yes! Resting long enough between sets is important so you can be ready to tackle the next set. If you try to rush it, you won't be able to lift as heavy or as well. This is not cardio, this is not about how high you can keep your heart rate up. The rest period is the suggested minimum time you need to rest. You can rest longer if needed! Oftentimes, I can take up to even 5 minutes between sets on lower body days. Allow your heart rate to come down and you're breathing normally before starting the next set.
Do I need to do any special warm up for my lifting session?
The best way to warm up is to do 1-2 warm up sets of the very exercise you're about to do by either doing body weight or using a lighter weight before you start your working sets.
