Progression Week 1: Focus on form and control Week 2: Add volume in either reps or weight Week 3: Challenge yourself in volume Week 4: Deload and recover Cycle Repeats At the start of each new cycle, aim to perform slightly more total work than in the previous one. First, focus on adding 1–2 extra reps within the prescribed rep range before increasing the load. When you’re ready to add weight, progress gradually: 2.5–5 lbs for upper body lifts and 5–10 lbs for lower body lifts. If you aren’t yet ready for more weight, stay at your current load but work toward the higher end of the rep range to maintain progression. Remember to go slow and perfect your form! This program is ideally meant to be used with a 2-day-per-week mobility/core circuit to be performed during a rest day. It will focus more on the support muscles necessary for joint health.

Common questions

Yes, Healthy Strength is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 12 weeks are fully unlocked.

This program is built around a full gym. Make sure you have consistent access before starting, since the progression model assumes you can perform the same movements week over week.

Each session typically takes around 60 minutes to complete. That estimate covers your working sets but doesn't account for warm-up or rest between sets, so budget a little extra time when you're first learning the movements.

Healthy Strength is structured around 3 training days per week, with rest days built in to allow for recovery. The Boostcamp app lets you reschedule sessions if your week doesn't go to plan.

The program runs for 12 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

Healthy Strength is available inside the Boostcamp app, free on iOS and Android. Once you download the app, you can search for the program by name. The app tracks all your sets and weights automatically, so you always know exactly what to do next session.
