Free plan | Your first 7 days back

The Comeback Week

You fell off. It happens to everyone. Here's exactly what to do for your first 7 days back.

For anyone coming back

You didn't start over. You're coming back.

You were doing great. Then life happened. A move, a breakup, a new job, a baby, a hard year.

Coming back is not the same as starting from zero. Your body remembers. The problem is most women come back at 100%, burn out by Thursday, and quit again. This week is built to make you want week two.

The 3 rules
Rule 01

Start at 70%

Leave 3 reps in the tank on every set. You should finish wanting more.

Rule 02

Eat before you lift

A real meal with protein 1 to 2 hours before. Coming back hungry is how you quit.

Rule 03

Never make up a missed day

Missed Tuesday? Do Wednesday's workout on Wednesday. Done.

The bonus rule

Don't weigh yourself this week

Water moves around when you start training again. Take a photo instead.
