What Equipment Is Needed?
A set of dumbbells.
Most of the workouts require a set of dumbbells, but they can also be done with just your bodyweight. Each workout will have a recommended dumbbell weight, usually between 8-20 pounds. Here are the dumbbells I recommend for at home workouts.
You can start these challenges at ANY TIME. No special sign up needed, all the information you need is within each challenge’s blog post. If you’d like to follow along with the workout plan that our team is doing, join our email list to get weekly workout plans delivered to your inbox every Sunday.
What Types Of Workouts Are Included?
The workout challenges consist of a variety of workout formats — from weight training and strength training, to HIIT cardio, barre and yoga sculpt. That means you might come across workout formats that are new to you, or not the kind of workouts you typically do.
I encourage you to give every workout format at try! Adding variety to your fitness routine is an important way to continue challenging your body and avoid fitness plateaus.
What Are Your Most Popular Workout Plans?
Strong 20, Stronger 25, and SplitStrong 35 are our most popular strength-focused workout plans to date. These strength programs split train specific muscle groups every day to build strength and gain muscle definition while providing appropriate rest and muscle recovery so you feel STRONG and energized.
HIITStrong 35 and MetCon 100 are our most popular HIIT workout plans. HIITStrong 35 is a HIIT and strength training program designed to help you build muscle, burn fat AND train like an athlete at home. MetCon 100 is a metabolic conditioning that will challenge you to complete 100 reps of a strength and endurance exercise each day.

Trainer Tips from Lindsey
How To Warm Up Before A Workout
Properly warming up and cooling down are essential parts of any workout (that often get skipped, I’m guilty of this too). If you’d like a longer warm up, I recommend adding on this guided 5-Minute Warm Up Video for At Home Workouts.
How To Cool Down After A Workout
The goal of a cool down is to bring down your heart rate and body temperature. I personally like to cool down with this 10-Minute Full Body Stretch Routine.
What To Do On Your Rest Days
Rest! It’s so important to give your body time to repair the muscle you’re working so hard to grow. You can go on a walk or do some gentle stretching if you feel like you need it, but I really encourage you to take your rest days seriously. You can find my go-to mobility routine here, and some of my favorite guided stretching and recovery day routines here.
