Andy Speer's Total Strength Program
The full 4-week program
By Andy Speer•
Have you ever been curious about strength training, but didn't know where to begin? I know that strength training can be intimidating, which is why I'm so excited to introduce our BRAND NEW Total Strength program! This is a four-week progressive strength program where we will work on our form, and our progression. The focus progresses from building our foundation to increasing our intensity over the 4 weeks, and it's designed for all levels--so if you're used to challenging yourself with strength training, get ready to up your game even further! You can find the strength classes I've created exclusively for Total Strength in the "Programs" section of your Bike, Tread, or App, and I've listed out the complementary cardio workouts I recommend below. Take the Strength Test you'll see in the program on Day 6 or 7 of week 1, and retake it 1-2 days after the final complex day. And remember, recovery builds strength--you can take a full rest day on any of the cardio days; Day 7 would be ideal for most people.
This has been one of the most exciting things for me to work on, and I can't wait to share it with you!
