Coach Luke
I am a NASM-certified personal trainer with corrective exercise (CES) and performance (PES) specializations, a NESTA nutrition coach, and I have 20+ years in health and fitness. The women I coach who get strong never find a secret program. They learn the basic patterns, lift a little heavier over time and keep showing up. These five days give you that foundation.
- No toning myths or bulky-muscle scare
- No supplements or gimmicks to buy
- Sets, reps and schedules from research and official guidelines

This challenge is general education, not medical advice. Check with your doctor before you start lifting if you are pregnant or postpartum, have osteoporosis or low bone density (ask which loaded moves suit you), have high blood pressure or a heart condition, or have a joint injury or recent surgery. Breathe out as you lift and never hold your breath to strain through a rep.
Stop right away if you feel chest pain, dizziness, faintness or sharp joint pain.
