Enjoyed the program. Was a good start to my exercise journey. Only change was I did it as a circuit, cycling through the exercises until all sets were done. Added a bit of cardio.

This helped with respect to my upper body strength a bit, but really I used it as a warm-up for a weighted workout. Otherwise in the future it'll be a good benchmark test as time goes on for me.

So this has been good program to get off your ass and actually do someone exercises. Just a primer as name suggests but it does it well. I noticed bigger chest size-wise. Now off to greyskull LP. I started it during the second week of this program so ran them concurrently and I used the primer as a stepping stone towards full on program. Overall would recommend if you haven’t been working out and need something get you started.

It's very basic but that's what I needed. I've been very sedentary for quite a while and I used this to get used to moving more. I felt it was great for that.

Decent program but sadly this is only the 14 day build up phase of the program. It should be followed by the full program or some other similar program.
