Good for beginners. Easy to follow. Sometimes repetitive but good for practicing if not as familiar with bells.

The program is fine, but I am sick of kettlebells at this point. Probably won't repeat it, but the results are undeniable.

Love the workout, suoer easy to follow but some of the reps were a bit too hard for me soni modified it to better suit me. But I did notice that I am more stronger snd can lift heavier plus my forms on alot of the workouts are improved... definitely recommend 👌

Perfect home gym workout. I only have two adjustable dumbbells and a jump rope so the ability to swap a lot of the exercises for dumbbell modifications was great. Pacing and RPE guidance was perfect for me.

I found this programme to be a great way to either start your fitness journey or get yourself back on track if motivation is lost, the latter being my case. Definitely worth a try!

It’s a good program to start with if you haven’t worked out on a whole.
