The Ultimate Beginner program is based on 20 workouts over six weeks:
- Three workouts each week across the first four weeks
- These workouts will target the largest muscle groups within the body and comprise primarily compound movements – a.k.a. the fundamentals
- Four workouts each week across the final two weeks
- These are split into upper or lower-body focused training, still containing those compound movements but including isolation exercises to target specific muscles
The Ultimate Beginner program calendar can be altered to suit your preference, energy levels, and life commitments! One workout per week, or two... there is no right or wrong!
Here’s our suggested schedule for the first four weeks:
Monday | Full body |
Tuesday | Rest / active rest day |
Wednesday | Full body |
Thursday | Rest / active rest day |
Friday | Full body |
Saturday | Rest / active rest day |
Sunday | Rest / active rest day |
And for the final two weeks:
Monday | Lower body |
Tuesday | Upper body |
Wednesday | Rest / active rest day |
Thursday | Lower body |
Friday | Upper body |
Saturday | Rest / active rest day |
Sunday | Rest / active rest day |
Again, this is simply a suggestion. You can even complete two workouts per week, for example, and train one day, then rest three days and so on. You can work through this at your own pace!
Remember that if you are completely new to lifting, it will take time to feel comfortable with some of the movements. However, you may be surprised at how quickly you progress!
