You may have heard about the benefits of intermittent fasting or training in Zone 2. Are these trends equally beneficial to men and women? Not necessarily.

This program has been soooo good for me. It's an app that tells you exactly what to do, how much to rest between sets and comes with an amazing supportive community. For the next 2 days you get Foundations as a bonus. So helpful if you want to ease into it!

If you are just beginning your lifting journey or are still working primarily with just dumbbells during the first year strength training, the beginner program is your appropriate for you.
