Using the training guides, step by step
- 1
Pick your training guide
Go to Training Guides or use the picker on the homepage. Choose Women or Men, then your age group: 18–29, 30–49, 50–64, 65–79 or 80+. Taking a prescribed GLP-1 medicine? Start with the GLP-1 Strength Companion.

Read “Before you start”
Every guide opens with safety checks. If you have a heart, lung, kidney or metabolic condition, are pregnant, or get chest pain, dizziness or unusual breathlessness, get medical clearance before you begin.
- 3
Follow “Your week”
Each guide gives a 7-day schedule: which days are strength sessions, which are cardio or walks, and which are rest. Rest days are part of the plan; muscles get stronger while you recover.
- 4
Warm up every session
Spend 5–8 minutes on the listed warm-up before your first exercise. It raises your heart rate and loosens the joints you are about to train.
- 5
Do each exercise, watching the demo
Every exercise has an animated demo. Watch a few reps before you try it, then read the coaching cue underneath. The faint outline shows where the rep should finish.
- 6
Progress a little at a time
When you can do the top of the rep range on every set with good form, make it slightly harder next session: a few more reps, one more set, or a small step up in weight. Change one thing at a time.

How to read an exercise
You will see these on every guide and in the PDFs.
- 3 x 8-12
- 3 sets of 8 to 12 repetitions. Rest, then repeat for the next set.
- per side
- Do the reps on one side, then the same number on the other side.
- 20-30 s
- Hold the position for 20 to 30 seconds instead of counting reps.
- Effort 7-8 / 10
- Hard but controlled: you could still do 2 to 3 more good reps when you stop.
- Rest 60-120 s
- Rest 1 to 2 minutes between sets so you can keep good form.
