Get stronger with just two strength days a week. Strong in Two is an 8-week program for anyone new to lifting or coming back to it. Each week has two 45-60 minute strength sessions and three cardio sessions, built on the CDC guideline to strength train at least twice a week. Phase 1 teaches the movements with slow, controlled tempo lifts. Phase 2 adds new variations and a little more weight. Every exercise has simple cues so you know exactly where to feel it.

PROGRAM GOAL:
Build full-body strength and confidence with just two strength sessions a week, while building a cardio habit that works up toward the CDC goal of 150 active minutes a week.
WHO THIS IS FOR:
Anyone new to strength training, coming back after time off, or unsure where to start in the weight room. No lifting experience needed. It's a great fit if you're busy and want a plan that fits into two strength days a week, plus short cardio sessions and walks you can work into your day.
WHAT IS THIS PROGRAM:
8 weeks, with 2 strength days and 3 cardio days each week. Every strength session follows the same flow: prep, power, strength, accessories and a short conditioning finisher. Weeks 1-4 build control with tempo lifts. Weeks 5-8 bring new exercise variations and more volume. Weeks 4 and 8 are lighter re-test weeks. Effort is guided by RPE and never goes above a 7.

SESSION DESCRIPTION
Easy-to-moderate cardio that counts toward the CDC goal of 150 active minutes a week. Short bouts count too: start adding a 10-15 minute walk on your lunch break or after dinner on a few days. It builds the habit now, so it feels easy by the end of the program.
I help people build strength and move with confidence when pain, fear, or conflicting fitness advice has kept them from enjoying movement.
