If you really want to transform your body, you won't get there by UNDERTRAINING or OVERTRAINING. So how can you be sure you're in the right zone? Listen to this episode to find out!
We suggest 4 sets with 8-12 reps for each exercise in our program.
When compared with olympic weight lifting or power lifting, 8-12 reps is a higher rep range. But when compared to the body pump class at your local gym, the rep range we suggest is very low.
So how and why do we suggest this number?
We're 100% convinced 8-12 reps is ideal for women for a variety of reasons!

  1. SAFETY
  2. LONGEVITY
  3. FREQUENCY

In this episode, we Kate and Rod also talked about the importance of progressive overload.
