The BEST Workout Program

I know you've tried a hundred different workout programs.

Beachbody, Orange Theory, F45, that $8 program with TONS of options.

You have this picture in your head of yourself as someone who works out consistently, who doesn't groan every time they skip their planned gym trip, and feels great putting on their clothes in the morning.

But sticking with any of them has proven tricky. It seems like you just can't find the ONE...

The ONE workout program that works for you. Not for lack of trying, and damn it's annoying to constantly feel like you're starting over when you've been trying for so long.

For years, I thought the ONE existed.

The elusive missing puzzle piece, the holy grail of training programs, the single most perfect workout program that ticked all the boxes and got me everything I wanted (hell, I even owned a CF gym for 4 years).

Newsflash: the BEST workout program is the one you can start NOW and still be doing 6 months...a year...5 years from now.

Do not underestimate the power of imperfect exercise. If you continue to wait around for perfect, you iz gonna be waiting awhile, wasting time, missing out on a lot of fun and results. You can only figure out what you like and what works by DOING.

Haven't seen the inside of a gym in awhile?

Who cares. Get in there tomorrow and get to work.
